cafetierre jack yeats, a new day, etc

today we went to the national gallery. it's free and we saw jack yeats colletion and also the turner watercolors. and also tiny tiny tiny watercolor portraits of people from the time people wore wigs, on ivory pendants, and also silouhettes. apparently silhouettes were commonly used for portraits of middle class families, since they were cheap, until photographs replaced them mm photography dominates and is useless and nowhere
then mom bought me a WATERCOLOR SET. ---- I am so excited since i remembere dthat dream i had freshman year of college where somebody like emreson said 'mothing is new and all the new stories are just revised versions of old stories. like everything in shakespeare' and so he daod you should just remake old rings and , i became thrilled sicne i would never need tivagwn have a new idea, so i will make redos of elton john videos and stuff ---- we ate at the mermaid cafe dinner, the waier/man there was into theatre and he said it's qite nice about ireland that everyone calls the euro different things here, like pounds, quid, dollars. he said it's quite nice about that, and seemed to really like it. well, i really liked him. he goes to new york every 18 months or so but just to see shows. maybe it's beacuse he really likes shows and maybe it's because dubin is so small.


the city i am in now hich i don't think is dublin is like if you made a microkazim european city dollhouse and turned it flat, and the big fancy depatment store has just a few dollsize purses and a few high heels. and american apparel is creeping around the corner. and the play food is arugula, tiger prawns and bacon and herb mash and panin on the menu but that never materializes. the neighborhood around the dollhouse is expanding a some churches that actually aren;t churches inside, they're the toursim bureau -- and a river liffey and buys stations, with people and no buses. it's all gray outside, the gray light permeates all colors. and the last sip of kir so saccharine! and like cranberry liquer in terschelling, and i think it's going to be ok if i remember it's going to be. i saw fishamble street, its the best street in the city , is it bad to own the dollhouse
