Damn busy day for me today. I went into La Boca in the morning to
see the famous colourful houses at Caminito. It was very pretty, God
even graced me with a few flashes of sunlight, so I think I took some
pretty pictures. I bought some artware, and then headed over to the
Museo de Arte Latinoamericana Buenos Aires (MALBA). It was really cool,
saw a few things that really inspired me. Including this moving art
piece (not sure about the proper terms) where 7 arms on the thing
rotated at different speeds, and between each adjacent pair there was a
shiny, silver, flat, flexible, round hoop. They distorted and changed
shapes as the arms spun. It's hard to discribe but I sat there for a
few minutes just watching and appreciating it's slow morphisism. There
was another piece where there was 3x3x3 cube, and lights turned on and
off in it randomly, it was really interesting as well. It was all a
good until I left the museum, when it started raining. I walked home in
the rain. It wasn't fun.
Vamsi and I had dinner at a random
place we found in Alto Palermo, just one suburb down, an
Argentine-Chinese fushion thing. For the first time in so long, I had
vegetables! It was stir fried and very delicious.
That night we
went to Roxy, a night ran by a friend of a friend of Kathy's. Lots of
music I knew like Placebo, Bowie, Bjork, Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed
Peas, Justin Timberlake, ... ahhhh.. familiarity is liking right? Well
it was very familiar, and I liked it muchly.
All this craving for familiar things... I must be missing home... just a little.
