I have listened to the majority of Kanye’s new album. I was hellbent on hating it. I swear I was. But, I enjoyed it fully. Can’t wait to go and buy it tomorrow. I know that I could have ordered it on the net somewhere but like a true music fiend, I enjoy the occassional trip to the record store. I’ll be back in Houston tomorrow so I can visit my favorite store.
Can’t wait! Home and Kanye in one day. Should be amazing!
Now through September 21st the Holocaust Museum Houston is featuring a 30-photo exhibit that highlights the crisis in Darfur called “Darfur: Photojournalists Respond“. The website makes this remark: “The world- as history has proven- has a short memory.” Unfortunately that is true about a lot of things. Every thing is a fad. I remember a time when the media was inundated with stories and specials about the crisis in Darfur. Now, I have to scrounge up information.
Anyway, the exhibit looks really interesting and I can’t wait to see it. Admission is free. Check out the Holocaust Museum Houston website for more details.
Here is a picture from the exhibit. Check out the website for more.
