This morning I took the day off class for an interview coffee date. I won't go into detail, but it was a nice conversational meeting that went well. Afterwards I walked over to the Modern Art Museum of Paris in order to see Jean-Michel Basquiat's exposition. It is funny to come to Paris to learn about a prominent American artist, but it's not the weirdest thing. It was really good to see the work finally up close, after watching the movie about him and reading about him for several months. If you don't know his work, when you see it it looks like an angst-y preschoolers drawings, but they really are amazing works. Some of my favorites were from his exposition with Andy Warhol, where he painted over Warhol's work to make it more interesting.
As I headed back home to work on some French homework I listened to the Shins on my dad's iPod. Thanks Dad! There is just something about their music that changes the way to see the world, if only just while you are listening to them. If you don't listen to The Shins I would really recommend them. Just not while you are driving at night, they are a little sleepy.
