Art deco

If you're in or near Boston, the Art Deco exhibit at the MFA is worth a visit. It's not necessarily a cultural must-see like their major exhibits of great painters, but it's a lot of fun. They included paintings, jewelry, furniture, classic examples of art deco industrial design and textiles, a Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass window, and a lot of other neat stuff. One thing that I particularly liked was how the last room in the exhibit included a whole bunch of pieces inspired by New York City.

After the exhibit, a whole bunch of us went back to Dean and FJ's place to hang out and try some homemade ice cream from their new ice cream maker. For people who've only been making ice cream for a week or so, they're doing a very good job of it.

In other news, our new living room furniture arrived on Thursday and it looks great when the cats aren't sleeping on it. As soon as we get a coffee table, the living room will be fantastic and we'll be able to have our long-delayed housewarming party.

I start work tomorrow. I'm very excited and a little bit nervous that I am going to be introduced to too many people and it'll be impossible to remember their names. Still, I think it's going to be good.
