Welcome
to the V-sphere!
The
rebellious semi-hidden blog of an otherwise obsessively overly professional
appearing, perfectionistic, female artist
This
is the space where you can find out more about me than you ever wanted
to know. Dive in! The water is warm, but don't expect any photos facing
the stern. This photo is a metaphor for how I approach life. It's
not a beer ad!

Techno Age
Unlike my son, I'm not young enough to take technology completely for granted so when my mother called me just now from The British Museum, I was pleasantly freaked out just a bit. She wanted to know what books I wanted from the museum shop, which was incredibly sweet. She remembered my own fiasco of getting lost in London and arriving at the BM (Yes, they really call it that.) only 30 mintues before they closed. I never got to set foot in the museum shop, and my minute tour of the Elgin Marbles is a dim memory, but the statue of Rameses II that inspired Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" and the wall painting fragments of 18th Dynasty dancers are forever carved into my mind.
Unfortunately the moment of connectedness both to my mother and to that serene and stately space were broken as usual by AT&T. My mother may be the hippest of grandmothers with her new iPhone, but AT&T hasn't kept up with her or anyone else I know, who's stuck with them. I've been thinking Apple needs to have Lily Tomlin as Ernestine, the "because we're the telephone company and we can" telephone operator in their iPhone ads. At least those of us old enough not to take technology for granted could laugh with nostalgia that Ma Bell is firmly back to the level of customer service they could once claim in the 70's. I confess nonetheless I'm still saving my pennies for an iPhone!
