last night's art opening was a lot better than today's sous prefecture fiasco.
i., f. and three of their friends met up with me at the musee de beaux arts last night for an invitation only art opening. it was super cool. i saw a few of my students and the mayor talked. it was for an artist named gustave moreau and they had a champagne reception following the opening.
the art itself was interesting; very dark at times and strange and funny at other times. i liked it but it was so crowded that i didn't really have a chance to see much and everyone was talking and it seemed like everyone had bad breath.
but the 5 of us had a good time. 3 of the friends had never met an american before so we had a good laugh about that. it was good practice for my french and after a glass of champagne it was even easier.
tonight i have been invited to a party at f's house which should be fun. i could use some fun right now!!
