Chris Ashley's Top Ten for 2008 [mailed to me pre-formatted with all the html - L.M.]
[that was my header, and those are still my line breaks, two more line breaks after this and then you get Chris's guaranteed genuine HTML, so wait for it! - L.M.]
**************[OK, these asteriks are mine too, his html is next, ...after two more line breaks. - L.M.]**************
I've never made a Top Ten list before. I barely went to galleries or museums in 2008. I rarely went to the movies. I am having a hardtime remembering this year. In April, Ann and I were in Germany, France, and Belgium. It seems like I walked my dog a lot, I was pretty occupied with making work for a couple of shows, and there's the day job. Here are a few things I can think of:
- Notre-Dame-la-Grande, Poitiers, France, inside and out.. It is the oldest romanesque architecture church in Europe.
- The Matisse room at the Pompidou.
- Drinking hot chocolate from Angelina's on Rue du Rivoli in the Tuileries.
- Visiting the Groeningemuseum's storage facility in Bruges to see Raoul de Keyser works on paper.
- Regime Change:
- Barack Obama est élu président des Etats-Unis (LeMonde.fr)
- Obama wird neuer US-President (Zeit.de)
- Obama nieuwe president van de VS (DeMorgen.be)
- Obama presidente, l'America cambia (ilGiornale.it)
- ...and many more
- Cable TV on-demand finally offered the great film "Slaptshot." I watched it three times. Speaking of Paul Newman (RIP), I can't remember watching "Cool Hand Luke" this year; if I didn't, then I broke a streak running several years.
- Cable TV on-demand finally offered "Breaking Away." I watched it twice.
- I watched "Casablanca" twice. Again.
- I watched the "Wizard of Oz." Again.
- Free Muntadhar al-Zaidi! I wished he'd just shouted, "I throw my shoe at you! Phooey!" and then left the room.
