One of my favorite things I have discovered since (mostly) finishing my fall semester is Keep Houston Rich. Normally I'm not super political but I think that this is something really powerful, especially this particular number. I once met Ms. Farb at a prescreening of Matthew Barney's Drawing Restraint 13: The Instrument of Surrender at the MFAH in 2006. Later that summer, my mom acquired a used 80s treadmill from her former home (NOT the John Staub building featured here). When my mom went to pick it up, Carolyn went on forever about the imported Genovese mosaic on the bottom of her pool. This is another reason I want to be dangerously wealthy, pregnant or the totalitarian leader of an Islamic state, so that I can get away with being insane and extravagant.
I have a month left of winter break, so I'm sure that I can accomplish at least two of those aims. For now, I will attempt to find contentment in our humble SoMo Toho.
