So I was out in Washington DC this weekend, doing some sightseeing, checking out the new Jim Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian (I’d give it a 6 out of 10 - since Disney owns the rights to the later stuff AND a lot of the popular Muppets stuff, they declined to allow permission for any of it. Lots of good early stuff, but it kind of ended with the advent of the Muppet Show), and checking out some historical documents at the Archives. It’s been a busy weekend with little time for blogging, but I wanted to post this little thing.
In DC there’s the gorgeous WWII memorial.
Every little part is symbolic, and it looks amazing at night. But like all the statues and monuments in DC, it’s stuffy. Patriotic, classy, tasteful (which I think is a synonym of classy), but usually kinda sad. Luckily, the artists decided to throw in a little bit of humor with this memorial. Hidden in the back, behind one of the walkways, is this little bit, carved in on purpose.
The memorial has been tagged with a “Kilroy Was Here”. THAT is classy, DC.
Oh, and I got a kitten! Her name is Science.
Like I said, I’ve been sans internet access, but hopefully we’ll be back on track with the updates soon!
