The Leonardo

Megan and I went to the Leonardo on Friday.  I haven't been since seeing the Bodies exhibit there, but guys, it's actually a pretty cool place.

 Probably the (very strange and surreal) highlight of the trip was spending a few minutes to watch the artsie film Green Porno. Ha.  It's the weirdest thing I've seen in a long time.  Isabella Rossellini plays the part of different animals and insects to display how they mate.  It was educational, fascinating, horrifying at times, and all-together intriguing.  I actually recommend it.  But be prepared for it to be weird.  And slightly inappropriate.

But there's other things to see at The Leonardo, too!  We got to "digital paint" for a while, and I made Sylvester the Snake below.  It was fun in a way I haven't had in a while.  Like, kid fun.

And they also had a station where you could look into a mirrored glass that also reflected a paper below so that you could trace your own face.  Here's Megan taking a turn:

Sometimes I forget about the fun things in my own backyard here in Salt Lake.  It takes a friend to say, hey, I want to do something fun downtown! for me to realize that I have a lot of culture and opportunity surrounding me.  So, friends, never hesitate to suggest hanging out downtown.  I love the adventure of it!  And if you want to go to The Leonardo, let me know.  They're getting a huge Mummies exhibit in on February 16th, and I'm really excited to go!
