What's everyone looking at?
















oh, giant drooling head.













I thought this one was awesome. So bad it was awesome that is. Titled, the Coronation of Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia and in the line of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Fancy company. It's like the last supper, with animals. Surrounded by more animals eating other animals.
















That tree is made of collected guns.





















Teeheehee





















World's largest old-world handbag


















Kind of looks like a Super Mario level.
































Lewis chessmen great faces.
















This is the money room where my camera suddenly and very unfortunately died 2 years ago.
















I love seeing this type of stuff at the museum. It's like Tibetan monks were preparing for their future lives and game designers or something.























My favorite guitar hero again!


























































Ah, there you are.
















Dinner at Maria's friend Rosemary's place.
















I forget but her cat has some Italian Art name. I think it's the name of one of those famous statues.

New Years Day. Do nothing but eat.
















Venetian Cookies for breakfast.
















And a late late lunch at the Sitar Restaurant on the Strand with Ron, fresh back from Toronto. Don't ask him about his flight.
































Chicken Korma (I like Om's Korma better!)
















Fish Curry of sorts.
















Aloo Gobi (I like Indian Villages better!)
















Lamb? Curry
















Straches
































Question: Is Indian food photogenic?















Ah, so lies by me. New Years night, we went to the Renoir Theatre in the Brunswick Centre and caught a double feature of Che parts 1 and 2. Altogether over 4 hours of cinema. Each part had its strong points and weak points but overall I liked the first part better. The version I saw abruptly ended though so that was a bit confusing. It was like, really? That was the last scene? Return that red car? I think part 2 comes out in April or something like that?
