GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

There are things we do that are so ingrained into our system that they’ve become part of our subconscious and we no longer realize we do them. I discovered yesterday, at Fantasia 2000 at The Tech’s IMAX theatre, that when I sit down in an auditorium or theatre, I look for an exit sign. Just in case. The IMAX theatre didn’t have any I could see. Which was nice since it would be a distraction to the immersive experience. But I spent a few minutes feeling a bit uncomfortable that some part of my brain didn’t know where to head in case of a fire. Fantasia is quite good. My favorite was the final piece, Firebird, since that was the most original, in both artistic expression and music selection. My main complaint was the overabundance of piano selections. There are plenty of other fascinating pieces for other solo instruments and orchestra. Maybe next time.
