| - My darling and random husband told me one night at 10pm, "Honey, go put your shoes on. We're going to have an adventure." I was clueless about where we might be going, and all the better.
I should preface this review by mentioning that I have an unhealthy obsession for obscenely large items (cue laughter and ridicule). I stalk websites about the Ryugyong Hotel, spend unholy amounts of time contemplating the possibilities of tsunamis sweeping me from my apartment to my doom...in Charlotte, and frequently gasp when I see empty swimming pools, coliseums or stadiums. I'm a strange one.
So anyway, Ben drove us out to an office park, and my hopes of adventure were waning. Seriously, who has adventures in office parks? But then he turned into a parking lot and LO AND BEHOLD THERE WAS A GIANT METAL HEAD!
I was deliriously excited! So happy! (Also a little freaked out, heart palpitations, and instant imaginations of a giant metal body resting beneath the earth...)
Simultaneously whimsy-inducing and terrifying, we walked up to the glistening, enormous work of art and marveled at its construction, location and....just wondered why it was there.
As Westley would say, "I've never seen its equal." And really, I haven't. I'm itching to get back there and feed my hunger for the oversized and just plain weird.
