Oceayawnia

Wandering around the ethnography section of a local museum today, I realize that I have absolutely no interest in the culture of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. All their artifacts seem to be so, well, beside the point, somehow superfluous to the general run of human creative endeavor. I guess I am rather anti-Oceania.
But then later, these unkind thoughts are punished in the gift shop, where I purchase a coffee table book of Western art that costs more than the coffee table I will display it upon.
