I went to the Kemper today. The main attraction was a series of massive black suspended sculptures that reminded me of scabrous industrial jellyfish. Very dire and conceptual.
A flatscreen was hyping the computer-animated version of a new sculptural installation: something like the Hamburger Helper oven-mitt gone grotesquely awry after a run-in with David Cronenberg. I can see Kansas Citians balking at the real thing once it's completed -- and there's nothing quite as funny as art-wary Kansas Citians.
What's playing:
1.) Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (The Cure)
2.) Fables of the Reconstruction (R.E.M.)
3.) Mask (Vangelis)
4.) You Are the Quarry (Morrissey)
5.) Out of Season (Beth Gibbons of Portishead)

Dude,
I live in your building. Go toTtarget and get a electric radiator. They're only about 30 bucks. That way, your utilities are still getting paid and you'll actually be warm.
Hi Anon.,
I've got a decent space heater. And since I'm not paying for electricity, I should probably use it more liberally.
Thank god they've finally turned the steam on!
