If Saturday was a stay-in get attention hijacked kind of day, today was a “get the heck out of the house and do something” kind of day. I met up with a friend to visit the Chrysler Art Museum and attended an hourish long glassblowing demonstration which was absolutely fascinating, I loved it! I enjoyed walking around the modernist & contemporary sections of the museum (only stayed for a few hours so I didn’t go to all parts of the museum this time around), had a few decidedly new experiences during that and found those pleasant.
The M.C. Escher exhibit was amazing, perspective altering as expected, and inspiring :) Expressing mathematical and/or physics concepts via art is a beautiful thing, I want to see more of that.
After visiting the museum, I went to my favorite cafe and sat at the cafe’s big round table by a window. I studied some, but mostly had conversations with several different people throughout the day. Getting into intellectual conversations with strangers is truly enjoyable, you never know what you may learn or concepts you may be introduced to.
During the evening, I met with a friend & coworked for an hour before hanging out. That was a very productive hour, wow do I have much left to do after the Retreat and yet more for organizing to do. I love that work so much though, it’s great :) My friend & I had excellent conversations after working, I’m glad we met up and look forward to the next time!
I do not have a desk in my office yet, and use my desktop while sitting on the floor. My foot fell asleep while writing this lol. That happens a fair bit, but it’s okay, I shall acquire desks soon hopefully and have a proper setup once again.
Shortform #99 Glassblowing, Contemporary Art, & M.C. Escher! | Also, good conversations :)
