sjesterToday is Tolkien's eleventy-second birthday. I knew that even without overhearing the pretentious nerds ahead of us in line at the museum today. They weren't pretentiously nerdy, but both nerdy and pretentious.
Anyway, went to the Albuquerque Museum today with my mom, my sister and her family to finally see the Millet to Matisse exhibit. I'd have enjoyed it more probably if we'd gone earlier when half the city wasn't there also. We stood in line for an hour and a half to get in, and then it was rather crowded inside, with people being rude and everything. It was still interesting, though, even though I know very little about art that doesn't have a philosophical bent.
And speaking of art and Tolkien, there is an exhibit of Ted Nasmith's art up in Santa Fe. The show runs through February 17th, but I think if I'm going to go it should be before the semester starts.
