On Saturday, Christine and Lindsay and I went to the Hammer Museum to see the Kara Walker exhibition. Most of her work is done by drawing images from ye olden slave days onto large black sheets of paper and cutting them out with an exacto knife, then adhearing them to the walls to make life size panoramic scenes. This piece here is called Darkytown Rebellion. They are so impressive to walk up next to and experience. It's also a lot to take in, as it dwells in the ugliness of racisim and brutality to black women. After dinner we went to a housewarming party at Hazel's loft to finish the night and engaged in many conversations about cats, obese animals, tapeworms, and Trannys as seen on Cops.

Sunday was more of a relaxation day. I finally finished an apron for me :) and also I baked a cinnamon apple upside down cake. David was able to enjoy it because it's so moist and smooth, it's more like pie than cake. We tried to do yoga in the living room in the afternoon for fun, but we were not all too successful.
