Against my better judgment, I'm going to tell some stories and share some thoughts.

M.C. Escher's workspace and other arty videos
INSPIRATIONS from Cristóbal Vila on Vimeo.
Alice, this is mostly for you. Do you like M.C. Escher? I like what I've seen, but I've only seen the famous pieces. I love what they did here in this video. I wish it was my workspace.
If you like this, you should check out The Atlantic's videos. They have a video about famous art (e.g. Van Gogh, Munch, etc.) that's been made interactive by animation software. Super cool. And another on a new exhibition at the Amsterdam Museum. (Amsterdam has EXCELLENT museums! You only hear about Amsterdam from people who want to order weed off of a menu or see naked ladies in a store window, but seriously they have great art, gorgeous parks, and delicious soup--seriously. Have you been? Everyone should go. Ha. Alice, I can't remember if we've talked about this. If you go back to Switzerland next summer, you should talk your parents into stopping over.)
p.s. I should be sleeping, but someone across the courtyard is practicing what sounds like a cello. So I'm catching up on twitter.

Thanks Sarah! That video was interesting. I do like Escher. I don't know if there are anyone who doesn't find his work interesting.
I'd love to go to Amsterdam. I was there more than 10 years ago for less than a day. I saw the red-light district and smelled the weed (not that I know that was weed. someone told me it was), but wasn't taken to any museums. If I ever go again, I'd definitely ride a bike around the canals and hit up all the museums. My parents almost went this year but the plan fell through.
