FINE ART

I was browsing eBay today for midcentury modern - just window shopping. I ran across a pair of Elvis-looking motel lamps. The picture was enjoyably ugly, so I saved it. Then I ran across a similar picture and then another one. I'm going to Snapfish them into 8x10's. I wonder if my friends will get my attempt at witty irony. I can't afford something from a gallery or Museum store, and I'm not putting some Monet from Walmart on my walls. Yep, gaudy lamps taken with a cheap digital camera will have to do. I guess they'll be my tribute to Warhol - a protest to overpriced snooty art . Why isn't decent art affordable?

MOUTH WATERING VS EYE WATERING

Terry and JoEllen treated me to dinner at Sakura last night.   The atmosphere in the restaurant was so restful; I didn't want to leave.  And the food was fantastic - a pleasant surprise.  My first experience with sushi had me fearing the worst.  I'd eaten it once with Casey at a Chinese buffet, but it was nothing like this!  The buffet sushi was so bad that we drowned it in spicy mustard so hot it made our eyes water.  That was not the case at Sakura!  When matched choptick to chopstick, the two places are not even in the same league.  Everything I tried was delicious, but I especially liked the california rolls and smoked salmon sake.  If you haven't been brave enough to sample sushi, I recommend it.  But make sure you spring for the expensive stuff, or the tears in your eyes won't just be from the mustard.
