Yesterday I was in New York to see the Klimt exhibit at the Neue Museum. It was oh so beautiful, really good stuff. His art really doesn't have any other purpose than to look pretty. That's surprising because he's a twentieth century artist. But, his work is still in the art nouveau style and it's cool to see how he jazzed up seemingly ordinary paintings/portraits. Even his sketches are amazing and his subject choice is pretty interesting. His subjects are usually women but they are all shapes and ages. He really knows how to capture the human body and it seems almost classical except for the fact that a lot of his paintings are of girls masturbating. Kudos to a man who can make masturbation beautiful.
After the exhibit, I went to the cafe downstairs which is a) ridiculously expensive b) the menu is all in German and I am ignorant of the language and c) German people eat a lot of meat...sucks for me. When I got home I had to work a long day because of Passover but it wasn't so bad because it was done in a banquet style. The end of the day consisted of a lot of purging of emotion. I guess that was a good thing because today I woke up in a fantastic mood. Anyways, I'm going to try to accomplish something on this sleepy Sunday.

I know it's a Klimt stuff and all, but how can a man have the idea to put the menu in German?
The world's gone bad.
