we got a sneak-peek at the new ancient peru exhibit at the ROM yesterday it was a media event FOR BLOGGERS and it was amazing this ex globe&mail dude gave a little talk about the future and technology and our generation and i actually paid attention and felt inspired. they had a little pre-party for us on the fourth floor, wine and fancy snacks go blogs. i said the word ADVANTAGEOUS a lot yesterday as in IT IS VERY ADVANTAGEOUS THAT YOU INVITED BLOGGERS TO COME SEE THIS ALONG WITH THE MEDIA.
i totally have some catty things to say about a couple other bloggers but i think i will hold back the bullshit for once in my life.
museums are awesome for people watching and photographs of them if you time it right you can take a hundred photos of the same family and they will think you are just taking pictures of oh right that thousand year old clay pot and then they look at you to make sure you really are taking pictures of the works and you fool them by looking super into your camera and fucking with macro keeping your hands still and eyeing the lcd screen and then they feel a little guilty and selfish and embarrassed for suspecting you in their head like why on earth would this girl come to a sneak-peek exhibit at a museum to take a picture of me? BECAUSE IT’S FOR MY BLOG THAT’S WHY AND YOU LOOK LIKE A TROLL!
the kid area is excellent i was this close to playing with some bones and sand and putting on goggles but i peeped this kid who was all i am too old for this you know when you turn eleven and you are cooler than shit – i felt bad for his sister cos she could totally hang but second-thought it once her brother faked boredom like that but then sarah showed up and i couldn’t be hero of the peruvian kid area and be all adam sandler in billy madison i fully gave that kid cut-eye when i left the kid section over my shoulder, no i didn’t.
yes i did.
the crazy thing about the exhibit is all the shit in this tomb was only discovered in 1991 but they couldn’t get at it cos of water or something also a lot of stuff had been looted as was common back then so some of the artifacts are missing pieces and have this mysterious essence and quality yes i am making fun of myself right now.
this is what the land looked like after all those looters went through it. dicks.
it’s open to the public now go check it out nerds!
