Saw Girls Last Night in Hoboken

Girls were good. I actually had a great time in Hoboken. That was surprising. The most interesting thing, however, was that I realized the guy from Girls looks uncannily like Marilyn, oft forgotten star of the New Romantic movement and current agoraphobic recluse. See below:

Must be the extreme side-part.

William Powhida’s cover for the November Brooklyn Rail regarding James Wagner’s post regarding the New Museum committing suicide with banality.

Brilliant. The more I think about it, the more dissapointed I am that my first reaction was to defend the museum.

I like #7:

~~Assistant~~ Curators living off $27,000 salaries, with ~~$80,000~~ (try $100,000+ for many) in grad school debt from a fancy curatorial studies program. (When students enter MBA programs, professors often talk about the negative investment they make in their futures as they spend money to eventually make six or seven figures upon graduation. In curatorial programs, discussions of economics that don’t reference Marx or Negri are just gauche.)
