Been there, done that. Tho, surprisingly, without the booze. ;)

aw, man.

he'll think he got the wrong type of candy and possibly get jealous.

EW! :bleh:

Spoken like a true alcoholic. :mrgreen:

But my bro is cool so I don't think it'll be much of a problem. He's of the race that knows Joseph. :thumbsup:

Sorry I'm so dense...race? Joesph? What does that mean?

Say Wynter how was you blind/arranged date? Did you go on it yet?

I love your new S. Dali avatar. Very nice!

It's a phrase I picked up from a book I read. "The race of Joseph" refers to kindred spirits. :)

Hai. He was nice and all, but not my cup of tea. He was really big in trying to sell himself to me, which wasn't needed. When he wasn't talking about himself, he was talking about... well, nothing. lol

He did take me to hear Stephen Lewis, tho. So even tho the guy was a real bleh, the date itself was really fun. Hearing Stephen Lewis speak was a great honour and I'll always cherish that experience.

The I went on the date with... we shall call him Mr. Bleh... has called him four times since now. I guess he wants to go on another date and I dunno how to tell him plainly that I'm not interested. :pout:

Thanky! Other than Ancient Art and the Art of Asia, I love Surrealism. And of course, Dali is by far the surrealist father.

simple: just tell him you're not interested. saves both you AND him time and frustration.

Thanks for the explanation Wynter on the "race of Joesph." Nice to learn new things.

I know exactly what you mean about the over sell type of guy on a first date. Either the guy oversells himself with the constant blah, blah, blah about himself or you get the guy who makes you feel like you are on a job interview. I know that there is a guy who is a good conversationalist and a good listener somewhere out there.

I like the Impressionist. I went to the Met in NYC a few weeks ago and saw the Cezanne to Picasso exhibit. That was wonderful!!!! Of course they had my fave Vincent Van Gogh. Too beautiful! If you go to metmuseum.org and click on Special Exhibits you can read all about it.

you like impressionism go to the musee d'orsay in paris....cezanne, van gogh, manet, monet, etc....i think they have the best impressionist art collection in the world.

the musuem itself is a work of art....a converted train station.

Thanks Tu. That is one of the places I plan on going to the next time I am in Paris. The last time I barely got to see the Louvre.

haha...for reals...you could stay in the Louvre for two weeks and "barely see it." :beaten:

big is an understatement.

Impressionist is prolly the closest to my own style. I was greatly influenced by Monet during highschool and some of University. I learned the whole technique of mixing colours on the canvas, and not on a palette, from the impressionists.

I'll be in France, Paris this March to see both galleries. I've never been to the louvre, but I hear it takes a good four days to see "everything". I won't be in Paris for more than three days, and I doubt I'll be able to see the Mona Lisa. But I plan to get my fill of Caravaggio nonetheless.

>>excited<<

lots of Monet to see at the d'Orsay...water lillies, haystacks, etc.

my greatest influence is Warhol....the Soup Cans....except I don't draw them I just eat 'em.

Paris is gorgeous, the food is impeccable, and the musuems...endless...

LOL! I never really got into warhol, tho I respect him for what he accomplished. Sorta like Duchamp. I thought dadaism was a grand movement, but perhaps not one of my favs.

I think I would be lying if I said I wasn't going to Central Europe for the food. :beaten: I plan to ignore calories and eat as much chocolate as my body will allow.

Paris has so many cafes, bistros, and what not...you can pick almost any one and eat an expertly crafted meal that would be high cuisine almost anywhere else in the world.

Whatever you do, don't go for a drink at Champs-Elys&#233;es. unless you want to pay $8 for a coke :beaten:

When did you go, Tu-san?

Yea, it's expensive there, since the Euro is about .50 cents worth more. When I went to Italy I ended up spending huges amount of money (aboute 7000$) without even knowing it. :sweat:

My dad nearly killed me when I came home.

i went along time ago...once in 1990 and again in 2002

Yeah, and the $8 I paid for a coke was in 2001, I wouldn't be surprised if the price is $10 for a soft drink now. imagine ordering something with *ahem* ALCOHOL in it :sweat:

Back when I was a member of today's most modern nuclear Navy, the first time we stopped in Italy, one of the guys on the ship got all excited because he bought a watch that cost 2500 lira!!! Then he found out the exchange rate was about 500 lira to a dollar. The watch lasted almost 4 days :shakehead: [/list:u]

if the italians hadn't adopted the euro, i think one would be hard-pressed to find a watch that inexpensive these days!
