And now for something completely different.

I had a decision to make tonight. Whether to continue with the 3 remaining walks from the Civic Center/Chinatown area (the reason for so many walks is because I did Grand Jury service for four weeks) or to go with a walk I did today in Chelsea. So Chelsea won, but now I have to figure out what to do about those three, now old, walks. Maybe it'll come to me in a dream.
But for now, why I was in Chelsea is because I volunteered to do data entry for Open House New York and their office space is at 555 West 25th Street. I did it from 1:00 to 3:00 and then stopped because I couldn't enter another piece of data without screaming. They understood. Some day I must talk to you about Open House, but not now.
So off I went to check out a few exhibits, but mostly to walk. The day was nice, a proper fall day, around 60, I think, sunny and breezy.

This show of Jack Pierson's abstract sculptures is at Cheim & Read through November 14. I showed you the top photo, so you'd get a sense of the size of this piece. The sculptures are made mostly from broken up signs, plastic and metal.
I'm leaving the enlargements extra large on the indiividual pieces so you can see the materials.

I didn't like all of them, but I do like these three I'm showing you. Although now that I look at this one some more, I wonder if it isn't too perfect. I think I mean too facile, too slick, something like that.

Too precious, I'd say. I don't like any of them. But I'm surprised that they didn't mind your taking photographs of the pieces! Is this standard that you can photograph inside a gallery? Who knew?
I don't know if they minded or not. I didn't ask them and I wasn't in their line of vision.
But are you sure you don't like the floor piece? Did you enlarge it?
Well, I like all three of them! I like precious, these days, except, maybe, in dogs. I have to be honest: Since I'm doing small (and precious, maybe) 2-D work, I've grown to appreciate ditto. I wouldn't have even thought of "precious" when looking at these.
Oh well, I still don't like it, even enlarged. My opinion about their being precious has nothing to do with their size. To me they're static and contrived to charm; that's what makes them precious. Ho hum, that's what makes the world go round!
Now I'm swaying over to your side - not that there are "sides" here. I see what you mean, and since I waffle a lot (not really!), I'm starting to hate them. It's late, and Chris Mo Fo Christie will be N.J.'s governor, and I'm gnashingly angry, so forgive. He is a lousy comatede (that's the word to be verified below). Is it a real word? It fits him to a T.
You're funny, C! And I agree with your anger about Christie. Good grief, what's happening to the voters' brains? Not that Corzine was any prize.
No, he wasn't....Well, THEY"LL see (that the ellusive Christie remains just that and does very little, except, sigh, for the rich).
What we need is a good old-fashioned French Revolution!
Oui, or should I say "Oy!" (in my case, more appropriate). And sans guns.
