Not much going on today and I don't have plans for this evening.
Yesterday, my mother came over in the afternoon and we went shopping together which was nice. She ended up buying me an early birthday present, the accessory holster I'm wearing today, which was something I saw with a friend last month. It will be good to take on trips since a passport, money or an iPod fits inside it and then you don't have to worry about having pockets. While we were walking around my mom found a cell phone on the ground so I ended up finding the person's mother's phone number and calling her and leaving the phone at Powell's for her to pick up. My mom and I also ran into my bartender from Fez. I guess he's also a hair stylist or barber which I didn't know.
After shopping for awhile we went to Justa Pasta (bad name, good food) for dinner which was nice, since I hadn't had dinner with my mom in quite some time and she doesn't go out to eat at real restaurants very often. She also reminded me that she is going to be 60 on her next birthday! Time keeps on slippin'...
After my mother dropped me off I met up with a friend to check out some of the galleries during First Thursday. There was a great player piano piece hook up to speakers that was playing a piece of music that had been altered to form a minimalist composition. One gallery had a whole show on Jesus with several new photographs from David Levinthal which was nice to see even though they aren't as strong of images as some of his other work which I really like. There was also an interesting show by an artist who did huge collages using portions of completed puzzles. He also did some interesting things layering images (movie posters) that had been randomly perforated. I also saw several pieces (mostly paintings) that compositionally and color-wise who look perfect in a SANAA interior.
When I got home I watched the last film, The Face of Another, in a Hiroshi Teshigahara box set that my friend lent me. The other two films were Pitfall and Woman in the Dunes. All three of the films are excellent and worth hunting down. The stories were all written by Kobo Abe and the soundtracks were done by Toru Takemitsu. I'm not sure which film was my favorite, but I'm leaning towards Woman in the Dunes. Teshigahara, or maybe Abe, seems to have a fascination with isolation which is explored in various ways in all these films.
