So they get trapped in a cave, you see...

maidenjedi and donnaimmaculata, your cards came! ♥

Didn't come online for a day and a half. At skip=200, I gave up. Did I miss anything?

(Yes, I saw the Tim Spall interview! God, I love him so much. If you haven't gone and seen the other stuff he's done, then basically... you suck.)

On Tuesday, malograntum and I went to the Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya exhibit at the Legion of Honor. Despite the rain, the exhibit was extremely crowded; I was glad to see there was so much interest. I've read a lot about the Maya lately, so it was exciting to see the art and inscriptions up close.

When I go to a museum, I usually want to sketch, but the crowdedness made that tricky. I only managed to draw one thing, wedging myself into a particularly hot and noisy corner. It was worth it, though.

*whiiiine* God, I miss the San Francisco museums. It sounds like a wonderful exhibit! Thanks for the sketch.

You should come visit sometime, we'll go museuming!

That's a good sketch! Do you generally put up your sketches from exhibitions? So nice for those of us who live in places without the resources of San Francisco. OMG I miss all the pre-Columbian art I could see travelling in the USA; we have some here in Oz, and it's well-curated, but the variety, the sheer range we can't match!.

Now I know about this exhibition, at least I can go look at the website, see what's to be seen there. *sigh*

Your king has a wonderfully Snape-like noble nose, though a bit fleshy around the nostrils for Snape, as the Maya tended to be... I especially love the small, beautifully-executed pottery pieces, though the gold displays always bring the visitors in. *sighs again*

Thank you! I do try to put up sketches when I get to go to interesting exhibitions... there are some from the National Gallery and the anthropology museum in Vancouver that I need to find.

Very cool sketch! *sketch scan love*

I read the interview and swooned, did I ever swoon. That man is such a quotable genius. I swear, if I had money for a billboard...

Finally saw Spiderman 2 and swooned for Doc Ock. Yow. Have you seen the DVD yet? The extra "Eight Arms to Hold You" is damn amazing. (Yes, I squee'd. I dearly want to be that mad scientist's assistant.)

Thank you!

That man is such a quotable genius.

He TOTALLY is.

Have you seen the DVD yet?

Oh my, yes. I've even found myself motivated to start writing SM fic again. ^_^

I wish he got more exposure in the states. That kind of thinking about typecasting and body image needs to give a swift kick in the butt to Hollywood.

He's making the thought of GoF all that more worthwhile.

For a moment there I thought you meant you were writing S&M fic again. Dare to hope and all that. ;) But the SM fic is good too... I need to find some when I get the time.

If I can whore myself out just a little, you can always read mine. ^_^

Okay, let's not even get *started* on what having eight limbs could do for bondage play. o_O

Read and replied and... relished. You're braver than I, I don't even know about drabbling in that universe since I only know movieverse as well.

...

Too late, I'm already thinking about it. *wanders off in a daze.* ;)
