A moderately impractical art collection: #5
This one’s excellent, I don’t care what they say.
see?
It’s at the far end of Charles’ Bridge in Prague - the whole Bridge have loads of statues of saints and whatnot,
although they look like mad nightmare chess-pieces to me - in that one where you’re the only prawn and you’re being surrounded by massive rooks and bishops and queens and so on.
Brrr…
Anyway, my one isn’t on the main bridge, it’s off to the side and down a bit. I go see it every time I’m in Prague, which is quite a lot because I like it etc.
Prague’s got that whole Eastern-European wild-west vibe going on, and it has the most beautiful women on the planet, especially that one that worked down the caf in Brighton with long blonde curly hair etc. I asked her who this statue was, but she didn’t know - or pretended not to… but why would she do that? I don’t understand it. I wasn’t being a pest or anything, I’d just sit there coworking on my own etc - much as I’m doing now in fact. That’s the trouble with women. They’re never straight-forward. There’s always some sort of subterfuge going on.
Whatever. There’s no point asking anyone round here because this is NZ and I might as well ask the cat, and besides, they’re all fat birds constantly eating cake etc. Cake cake cake, that’s all they think about from the moment they get up in the morning to the time when they eventually pass out in front of the infommercials, covered in cake crumbs etc. What an existence. What an existence.
So yea - I’m down the caf and obesity epidemic is particularly severe today… That’s another thing they failed to predict in Star Trek. I’m beginning to have my doubts about Star Trek actually. I lie awake at night racking my brains… but still can’t seem to think of one single solitary thing that they predicted correctly. What’s the point of them?
–
There’s only one more of these art things left. I probably ought to find some more. Not today though. Busy. There’s a massive black monolyth thing in Te Papa in Wellington which is pretty good. I don’t go back to it constantly though.
