It was very intriguing learning about the Ego and the Id. I had never heard of Sigmund Freud's theory before this project. When i first saw the artwork, I immediately noticed how colorful the two objects were. It contrasted so much with the colors of autumn. I still ponder which one is the Ego and which is the Id. I would like to know if the artist himself specifically labeled which is which, or if he just left it up to interpretation. I am pretty sure I will stick with my original belief that the bubblegum pink sculpture is the Ego and the colorful sculpture is the Id.

Last week, I went to the New York Historical Society to view the Abraham Lincoln and John Brown exhibits. Aside from being pleased that the visit was free thanks to the cultural passport, I was concerned that I wouldn't find many things in the exhibits interesting. History is not my strong suit, and I usually avoid it at all costs, but there was definitely something in these exhibits for everyone.

A few weeks ago, I went to go see a film titled Precious. Many of you may have never heard of it (I didn't until my cousin, who is a director/writer/general starving artist, told me I must see it), but it is a film that everyone SHOULD see. It was featured in the Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes Film Festivals and won numerous awards, similar to the novel Push that it's based on, so I decided it would be worth making the trip with some friends to see it in the city where it was on limited release.
