Happy belated turkey day! Hopefully everyone's gotten past the "itis" part and can get up from the sofa without struggling lol XD

Anyways, I went to the Museum of Natural History to do a Anatomy assignment I missed since I was just too sick to go the day of. The assignment was to just draw 3 skeletons of human or animals. And that's what I did.
I also caved in all touristy-like and bought a necklace from the museum's gift shop.

I like how the orb even has a slight iridescence to it. It looks un-touristy on it's own, and I consider $7 a bargain since this would probably cost $40+ at AG or some other alternative boutique.(`∀´)

And while we're on the subject of museums, this weekend I went to the Met to do a hurricane Sandy makeup assignment and I had to see the Warhol exhibit. I get the message; that American culture adores commercialized art, but modern/pop art is still not my favorite.
The last room was lovely though, called "Silver Clouds" and it's basically a room with large silver balloons that are blown down to the floor by fans. And the room had Velvet Underground soundtrack! While I love interactive pieces like this one, I hate how it automatically shoots down IQ levels of some people, who think it's okay to PUNCH and bust holes into the balloons and keep doing it despite angry shouting from security.

After all that, I wandered to the Wrightsman Gallery for some late 18th Century French goodies.
 While they're only reproductions of hotels of that time and not Versailles, it'll do.

Not gonna lie, I'm so looking forward to winter break. I'm attending an Eluveitie show, which I'm excite for since they seriously rocked it for Children Of Bodom earlier this year. Then there's Christmas, outings of sorts, sleeping/eating, and of course... my thesis to be worked on. (>ะด<)

    1. Thanks bb!♡ I too love bats, and I'd sure a bat skeleton replica to hang on the wall lol. For some reason, bat and stuffed animal in the same sentence made me think of Zubat XD
