Still jetlagged, we collectively decided to do some museum-age. We got all rugged up and hit the road. Yes! A museum is exactly what I needed. The weather was pleasant and not too cold, but the wind was crazy. Windchill *brrr*. The wind is usually another 10 - 15 degrees colder than the actual temperature.
Safely and somewhat warm on the metro, we got off at the correct stop for the American Museum of Natural History and were faced with the popularity of this museum. I personally was painfully amazed at the lines that formed around the next 3 blocks, just to get into that museum. No, thank you! We decided to come back for this one on another day and moved onto the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET).
A quick stroll across Central Park and there it was. In all its glory, the MET! I really enjoyed this museum. The day finally came where I saw the original paintings that had accompanied me the past 21 years. For example, the sunflowers by Van Gogh, which haunted me throughout primary and secondary school art classes and this painting by Monet of which we had a fake hanging in our lounge for at least 13 years. That really made my day.
TDH and I eventually landed in the Greek section and as I was faced with all these different male statues, I figured one similarity among all of them: their penis size. They all look comparatively tiny. I mean you have these very tall and muscular men standing in various positions, all stark naked. You start with the head and as you go down the body you build certain expectations as to how things should look, right? Yes, so I keep looking and when I reach "the area" I am always a bit surprised that it doesn't even fit proportionately. So I realized there must be one thing that all these artists go by. For example, to draw a proportionate female body, the head needs to fit into the body length 7 times and 8.5 times for a male body. I kept searching around and it seems that the artists use the thumb length as a measure of penis size. *sigh* And here I always thought it was the nose length or the length of the tie. *tsktsk*
Tomorrow the group wants to hit Brooklyn, without a map or a travel guide. I probably won't join. I mean who wants to get lost in the cold and roam aimlessly, right? Shopping mall, here I come!
