So, doing a building description for the Art Institute. And the cool fact I learned today was #1 is that the lions outside are not the same lion, but you folks already knew that right?
In fact, they are different and have different faces. One is called "on the prowl" and the other is called "In defiance". Pretty cool huh? You also know that they spelled Michelangelo wrong on the front, in the etchings right? They spelled it Michael Angelo. It's pretty weird.
Other than that I've been learning about the Palmer House, about The Reliance (where I'm having dinner tonight! YAY, it's my favorite building so far, it's so pretty!) and Carson's. Poor lil Louis Sullivan, cat could not catch a break. Died alone, in poverty, with not even a tombstone in Graceland Cemetary. Basically a "fan club" had to donate money to get him a headstone. Isnt' that sad?
And other than all that I've been learning that there is too much to learn. That I"m overwhelmed by the amount of information that is out there and I'm overwhelmed with how much I want to learn. I want to learn everything and it's so frustrating to not be able to retain it all and keep it in my head. Argh.
On the lighter note: Jonathan and Victoria finally gone off of AR. Thank the sweet lord, they were really getting to me. Now I'm rooting for Hayden and Aaron to get it next, cause Hayden is just as mean as Victoria, she's just a lot more passive about it. Kris and Jon need to win the whole thing cause they rock, and they're nice and excited about where they are and I believe it's making all the difference in their game.
They should just end the Bachelorette right now because even though he might be a dork, jerry the art dealer is the hottest guy on tv since Tom Wopat.
Project Runway tonight, get out your corn dresses.
