9/14/2024: on this day was my mothers birthday. I woke up around 9 Am after playing the new P3R dlc the night prior. i went 50/50 with my brother on some filter so i have to pay 150$ which sucks. I started my day by sitting at my computer looking for computer builds when i save up some money. I was browsing the 'hlog and i saw malzy left so that made me a little sad (he made some of the worst posts ever istg but nigga was chill with me). Asked my mom what she wanted to do and she said just eat o algo. My bro comes in around 11am talking about going to the huntington, but my mom has a hissy fit and we have to convince her for a few hours to get ready to go. We get there late and we make a beeline to enter. after buying the tickets we each wanted to head to different places; My brother wanted to go to the gardens, and i wanted to visit the art galleries. We headed first to the chinese garden which looks completely beautiful and there were even some turtles sunbathing.
While i enjoyed the plants like the lotus seeds and the koi, i really enjoyed the musuem most
Theres 2 musuems (american art and European art), but i only got to visit one with the amount of time we had
. I went to the european musuem first because it sounded more interesting to me and my bro. The musuem was filled with mostly renaissance paintings, statues, and furniture. Of course, it had more modern and ancient art, but i think the renaissance was the peak of art, when it was detail orientated. I thought however it was out of place when they put a modern portrait, of a black man in casual wear (sneakers, shorts, even a fucking apple watch) , in the midst of several portraits of 17th century portraits.
I liked the paintings and art the most when they revolved around Christ, or christianity. Im going to go some day soon to see the american gallery, because i want i have a soft spot for landscapes, which alot of american art is concerned of. After the huntington trip, we ate some food and i chilled at home. what a nice day
