The solid gold turd

Part of me understands why people say ‘Fuck Houston’ in their heads, and move to New York or LA. Houston can be ugly, unromantic, and like Seth said, make “every other place seem exotic.” But the bigger part of me, the part of me strapped to rap music and the Orange Show, says fuck you for not giving Houston respect for what it is. Houston may be a city wrapped in cold urban banality and hot shitty weather, but the culture and artists that exist in this town are not irrelevant or deserving of marginalization. This city is like a solid gold turd at the bottom of an outhouse — you may feel awkward or disgusting picking it up out of the pot, but you’re an asshole if you let it just sit there. — Gene Morgan on art, hometowns and Wes Anderson
It’s the gift that will live and live

We at Rule are currently enjoying freezing rain and bone-chilling temperatures in Oklahoma, while weather forecasts in Houston call for an 80-degree weekend. We left our home Friday evening with 90 percent of our boxes still unpacked in order to attend our maternal grandparents’ 55th wedding anniversary in the state of our birth.
The snow is getting us into the holiday spirit, but we’ve yet to hear the B.C. Clark’s jingle, which signals the true start of Christmas. Posting will be light for the following weeks, assuming we’re able to drag ourselves out of the hotel’s down sheets and find a rouge wireless connection in Houston’s Montrose.
