Apr. 12th, 2005 02:53 pmWaiting for the TheraFlu to hit so I can slumber. Tomas generously came home early today to care for the kids.
I watched a documentary on hula dance in America followed up by a documentary about Alexander Calder. Both were very interesting. I love documentaries. The Calder film reminded me that it was Duchamp who coined the term 'mobile' for Calder's um, mobiles. Funny how deeply someone or something can so affect culture and language without most people ever knowing. Not that it isn't totally common.
