Dear blog,
I have neglected you as of late and I am sorry. Grad school was a little nuts this semester. Now that finals are over though, I will again show you the love you deserve and I may make you some little brothers and sisters to play with :)
Ok, now it's just getting a little creepy. I feel bad when I don't post for a long time though. I have a lot to say (as those who know me can attest to) and now I need to get caught up.
I have seen some awesome musicals and shows and gone to some great places, so I'll be writing about those. I am also going to be re-learning the adobe web suite programs and getting myself up to speed on Web 2.0 and now Web 3.0, so I will probably have adventures and projects to share.
I also have a ton of craft and quilting projects started that I will be trying to finish up, so I will be posting pics of those as well.
Love Kim

T Discoveries
While riding Boston's T is not always a pleasant experience, what with the people so drunk they are passed out by the time we reach Alewife and the occasional smell that can only be described as "fresh" diaper, it does have some great advantages.
Besides being a great way to get around and avoid the insane parking situation and taxi drivers in the city, it has also been a great place for me to learn about my new city.
The posters inside the cars offer a wealth of information on events to go to, places to see, institutions at which to get educated, etc.
The greatest discovery to date was the poster about the Harvard Extension School, which I now attend.
The most recent treasures I found were Museums of Boston and Anime Boston.
Museums of Boston is a great site for me and other museum nerds to find out all that this awesome area has to offer. You could go to a musuem each weekend and have at least a year's worth of trips to make.
Anime Boston is "The Northeast's Largest Anime Convention" - need I say more? Sphere: Related Content

Web Dev
Once I can master the new versions of the Adobe Web Suite and especially after I take the Intellectual Property and Web Design classes at Harvard, I plan to join this (or something like it) and get back into web design, which I love and miss.

Art Nouveau doors
Art Nouveau doors
I love Art Nouveau. Ever since I saw the Art Nouveau jewelry exhibit at the MFA I have been hooked. The attention to detail, the odd and beautiful inspiration for each piece, and the impeccable craftsmanship outdo most anything around today.
It's pretty great when I get inspired by something as everyday as a door. Sphere: Related Content

Japanese Bird Cooking Spaghetti
I just love that anyone can put anything online. I tend to appreciate randomness and who doesn't love a cute little bird in the kitchen? :) Sphere: Related Content

Santa Fe Indian Market
www.swaia.org
Growing up near Santa Fe afforded me the opportunity to see this great show many times. It is fascinating to see art through another culture's eyes and much of this art is world class and mind blowing.
When I went to the Peabody Essex museum in Salem the other day I was thrilled to have a lengthy conversation with a docent about the museum's appreciation for modern world art. They have an incredible contemporary Chinese art exhibit right now "Mah Jong" that is revolutionary. No other museum has evern exhibited contemporary Chinese art.
They also have contemporary Eastern Indian art and contemporary Native American Indian art. I was so excited to recognize several of the artist's pieces and to see that many of them were from Santa Fe and Taos.
The woman I spoke to (shame on me for being just terrible with names) was excited to know that I had a passion for this art and told me about the large (unfortunately stored and not displayed) collection of native american art the museum has acauired, both traditional and contemporary. I asked if she had ever been to the Santa Fe Indian Market and she said that she regrettable hadn't, but that one of their main curators goes each year and buys pieces for the museum's collection.
I wish that the museum had a more permanent display of native american art, but hopefully someday the public's appreciation of this work will coincide with the museum's and we will see more of that work come out of storage. Sphere: Related Content
