"I really like how you wrote that sitting through the performance was torture. I feel like that's exactly how everyone in our class felt, well at least everyone. I find it so interesting that how after actually sitting and listening to Ralph Lemon speak about his piece we now think about this "torture" in a different way. That doesn't mean that we would necessarily sit through this "torture" again, but we can definitely at least appreciate it a bit more."

"Wow, I really enjoyed reading this blog. I never really would have thought that bodybuilding could be a form of art, but then again that brings up the question what is art? But after reading your blog I can really see how bodybuilding can be an art. I also really love your ending! Great Job!"

"Bolivian dance seems so interesting! There are so many elements to it that would make it a form of art. Just as an painter spends so much time on one single painting, I can see after reading your blog that it takes a really long time to prepare for these dances as well."
--( posted on Nov 2, 2010, commenting on the post Community )
 
"I absolutely love the way you started your blog, it really made me want to continue reading it! I had a very similar experience with Macaulay, before Macaulay I really didn't go into the city that often and now I'm glad that I spend almost every weekend in this great city! What you wrote about the Manhattan skyline is also so interesting. I had never considered the Manhattan skyline "art", but now I can see why it can be art."

"Wow, this sounds so interesting! I had no idea that there was a program like this. That's really amazing that you stayed in this program for all four years. It must have been an amazing feeling to graduate with that crest on your uniform."

"This is so cool Olivia, I feel like you would definitely fit in in a place like this since you are so social! which is a great thing =) This also reminds me of cafes they have in Portugal where everyone meets up to socialize."

"I really like the way you described the park. You're right, a lot of people probably don't look at a park and think that it is art, but it really is. This kind of reminds me of our photojournal and how you can really find beauty and art in a lot of things."

"wow this is an awesome picture! i love it!!"

"thanks! =) yea, now that I think about it I can kind of see how looking at it could make you dizzy =P"

"I agree with what you say, as much as we don't like to admit it, people do judge one another based on appearances, and appearances can really make a first impression especially if you don't talk to that person. However I do think that this is unfortunate since I do myself have a lot of "bummy days" where I just throw on a pair of sweats =P But you're totally right, I feel like our personalities are brought out in what we choose to wear."

"yea, i do collect them! i love fortune cookies! and i love when i find fortunes that really apply to my life!"

"I agree with what you're saying here. How many artists can get away with urinating on a piece of canvas and it being considered art? Andy Warhol must have been a genius to be able to accomplish this. And I agree that although some of his works may have been rather strange, they did have a meaning to them."
--( posted on Sep 19, 2010, commenting on the post Andy Warhol )
 
"I really loved the way you started your blog. I completely agree, when i first hear the name Andy Warhol I immediately think of the Campbell's Soup can and the bag that I have with it on it. It was interesting to walk through the exhibit and realize that there was more to Andy Warhol than the Campbell's Soup can."

"wow, i'm so glad i didn't have a late class on that day, I couldn't imagine driving home in a tornado, I would have been terrified! I was actually running when it started getting really dark and raining a lot, I was so scared!"

"wow, that looks really cool. It reminds me of the time I tried to take pictures of fireworks, but they kept coming out like this picture because they had already started falling by the time my camera took the picture."
--( posted on Sep 19, 2010, commenting on the post Streetlights )
 
"I really like how you began your blog using the connection to Coldplay. I also really like how you compared Andy Warhol to being an anthropologist. I agree with your opinion here, in order for him to accurately describe and criticize the extravagance in society he needed to become a part of it."

"Thank you =) I love my garden too, my parents love it since they grew up on a farm they love having our little garden in our backyard....as for my theme, it's not nature, but good guess! I do have a theme, but it's not very obvious."

"yes this is my car. I woke up that morning and the first thing i saw when i looked outside was this. When my parents saw it they immediately overreacted and wanted to call the police or something, but i already knew that it had to have been one of my friends. I worked at a pool over the summer and one of the things that we would do to each other was teepee each others houses and post-it/ saran wrap each others cars, so i figured it must have been someone i worked with, and it was =P"

"Yes very true. That's why i found it really funny that there was a pay phone located on such a busy street in my neighborhood"
--( posted on Sep 15, 2010, commenting on the post phone? )
 
"I found it really funny because i hadn't seen one of these in a while. I was just walking down the street with my sister and we haven't seen a pay phone in ages, so we went up to it to go see if it actually worked, only to find out that there was no phone there -__-"
