visits (202/365b)

the museums were open today. we visited an exhibition of congolese art at the kunsthaus. it was mostly cool, some beautiful works. sometimes mixed without warning with horrifying images. on every floor was various media, sculpture, painting, photography and also video. the videos were loud, and looped. we never got away from the noise. theodore, henry and i couldn't stay longer than an hour because it was so annoyingly loud. we were most fascinated with an ancient looking wooden traditional carved sculpture of a man that was covered with glued on cellphone buttons.

Michi came over to wish me a happy birthday, i walked her across the street to her house. before i left i asked felix if he wanted to stay at home (brian was working inside) or come with me. he wanted to stay at home, so i left. 10 minutes later, i came back to find these two ladies standing outside our house. they told me they had called the police because a little boy had said hid mama had left him at home. i asked if they had asked the boy any questions, rang the doorbell, knocked on the door, or tried to figure out if someone other than his mama was home. they answered that no, he had stopped crying and gone inside so they called the police and were waiting. ok then. i double checked felix was fine. he was, of course, and went out to wait for the police. who took forever to get there, and then left immediately when they instantly determined nothing at all was wrong. gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Manuela came by too, and we made plans to go climbing soon, and we read the kids to sleep and then hung out together for a long time. that was very nice, and it was relaxing after that stupid police thing.
