when this day is done I’ll have worked for 34 hours within a two day period
+ Len Brown is at the function and he made a secret door joke
I had a 12 hour shift yesterday and then went to Ol’s place cause he left today and I thought it’d just be us two watching tv or something but there was abig party there and his flatmate who is my ex’s cousin was being really flirty and I feel terrible because I kinda guess I like, you know, the feeling of being wanted, but he is an alcoholic and the whole relation to my ex would be too strange to ever do anything — then after a night just w/e with ol I crashed on the couch and he came downstairs at 5am and just got on the couch too and started grabbing me and trying to kiss me and he’s way way bigger than me and it was pretty scary and idk it was super weird and he drank 5 beers at 5am even though he had blacked out earlier and then was drinking wine when I left the house later that morning
anyway I feel super weird and upset about the whole thing and upset with myself for being a tease or something

Currently on view at the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris is Go Mo Ni Ma Da, a solo exhibition of work by Danh Vo. The exhibition features pieces from four bodies of works:
– We The Peopleis a life-size reproduction of the Auguste Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty, inaugurated in 1886. Thirty copper fragments are presented in the exhibition, together with photographs taken by Bartholdi in Egypt.
– Three chandeliers conjure up the ballroom of the Hotel Majestic, where the Paris Peace Accords between the United States and Vietnam were signed on 27 January 1973.
– In a work referencing Théophane Vénard (1829-1861), the artist evokes the Paris Foreign Missions Society, a body of Catholic missionary priests functioning in Asia since the 17th century, and its relationship with Vietnam.
– Nine works included in this exhibition were produced from lots acquired from Sotheby’s auction of the Estate of Robert S. McNamara, the former American Secretary of Defense, whom the New York Times eulogized in 2009 as “the failed architect of the Vietnam War.”
A handwritten work produced in situ by the artist’s father is also part of the exhibition.
In conjunction with the exhibition, a two volume catalogue will be published. The show will be on view through August 18.
