eumeliaIt happened to be my cousin Susan's birthday, so shortly after I arrived to the house in Bethsda we went out to a very atmonpheric diner called "Houston's", it was quite good.
When we got back I spent some time with Jacqui, who has an impressive Manga and Anime collection which I didn't mind viewing with her *grin*, until it was time to watch "Annie Hall" (one of my favourite movies), as it happened Kathy had to write an essay about an aspect in Annie Hall and I said I'd help, so I began taking notes during the movie.
As essay of my own with be here as soon as I get over this effing cough!
Stayed up for a bit of SNL (loved Kevin Spacy) before we were just chatting and planning what we would do tomorrow morning before I got back to DC (we went to a real diner and had a breakfast brunch), I went back to watching Anime with Jacqui before nodding off.
Woke up quite refreshed and by 11:00 we were out for brunch.
I said I'd come back in June, for a longer weekend, since I lost a day due to the runny tummy.
I was lucky that the museum I wanted to go to was close to the Metro Center and to the Chinatown bus stop.
I went to the National Museum of Women in the Arts... typical I know. They had a special exhibit of the role and place of women in ancient Mexico and Peru, which I found facsinating, it's amazing what a much more naturalisitc way of living they had and that each person had a specific role to play in the community.
I really like the goddess figurines, but they really didn't talk emough about the mythology in my opinion.
It also had a permanent exhibition of modern and contempoaray art (all by women of course), they had a huge Frida Khalo in the entrance and lots of beautiful other modern paintings.
I'd like to go back there and see what other stuff they had, plus the Mexican/Peruvian exhibit is closing next week, so I'd like to see one of the new exhibits.
As soon as I saw it was time, I began walking towards Chinatown and got on the bus for the three hour drive home.
Somewhere between the day before and yerterday I got sick.

Date: 2006-05-24 12:13 am (UTC)Speaking of which, the first two episodes of Strawberry Panic (the yuri show^^) finally finished downloading, would you like me to send you some pictures from it? It's kinda like Gakuen Heaven (in that everyone seems to be in love with the main character), with cute girls instead of cute boys.^^
