went to the academy of science today with my friend robert. I like to think of him as my music mentor. we did have loads of fun and saw lots of amazing bands playing live. the first xmas he knew me, he gave me 10 cassette tapes with bands I needed to know. I actually ended up making 4 mixed tapes from those tapes for some halloween party one year. the music was hard and a bit scary. good times. so, today, we checked out the 3D Bugs movie which I tried to bring my kids to after school. why don't they want to do the fun stuff? I didn't force them, after all, I already saw it today. they are like that with the beach too. anyway, we also went to the living roof, saw most of the enormous aquarium, then the planetarium. the albino alligator was missing though. we had enough time to see the african hall and the rainforest too. we did a lot. but that's not all. we went across the way to the deyoung to see the yves saint laurent show after that. there was a lot of fashion. some of it was definitely crazy. but you need to respect it. I mean, the 80's and 90's were a bit crazy when you look back on it. all that beading shit. ugh. that was a trend. maya lin also had some landscapes which were interesting. I had forgotten the ruth asawa pieces near the tower. love them! those are some of my favorites. the shadows and the simplicity are beautiful.
