Hi, sorry, a few other things

First of all, please let me introduce myself: I'm the blogger who dropped off the face of the earth for a couple of weeks there (again). Busy times in the pages of ye olde dinosaur, the newspaper, where I finally finished a two-part series on China and reviews of winter shows at the Oakville Galleries and the Power Plant (the first part, anyway, on “Nothing to Declare,” the fun and engaging Canadian sculpture show; part two, on Michael Snow, will be this weekend.) Keeping ever busy, I endured a white-knuckle drive up to Owen Sound yesterday to the Tom Thomson Gallery, where I saw Steven White's very good sculpture show, The Combine Project.

I have been thinking about King Tut: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs at the Art Gallery of Ontario quite a bit lately. Actually I have not been just thinking about it, I have been troubled by it. As a former museum director / curator I have to admit that I have a huge issue with Blockbuster exhibitions

Soul Arts of the Kuei-jin

Hun-dominated vampires use this ability to work healing magic or set a tormented soul right, while P’o dominated vampires use the art to devour victims outright….Kuei-jin ancestors whisper that a version of this art, alone among their secrets, has been stolen by the Kin-jin of the West. … When a Cathayan uses this power, the third eye bathes the target in a luminous radiance, thus allowing the vampire to work a healing magic on the target….

Holger Schubert Maserati Garage

by Tamara Warren A beautiful car deserves a beautiful garage, and Holger Schubert’s minimalist 1200-square-foot carport for Maserati ’s Design Driven competition is exactly that. Overlooking western Los Angeles, Schubert’s winning design has a setting more akin to an art gallery than a garage. Accessed by a separate driveway bridge, the sustainable structure allows the car to remain the focal point of the airy elevated garage Original post: Holger Schubert Maserati Garage

Goooooood morning Vietnam – Hanoi, Vietnam

Jump to the full entry & travel map Hanoi, Vietnam We made the short flight from Vientiane to Hanoi…about one and a half hours. We had already decided to stay at the Elegance hotel 4 in Hanoi after reading great reviews on tripadvisor.com and they arranged a car to pick us up from the airport. We found our driver and headed out of the airport…..the hour journey to the hotel was an eyeopener for me….the Vietnamese are crazy drivers, scooters outnumber cars by ten to one, and they all drive like they are the only ones on the road….everyone honks their horn continuously and I had to cover my eyes so many times I lost count….how we didn’t hit someone was a miracle
