A few other things I realized.
1) It’s a little bit sad how all cities have the same flavor nowadays. In the few days I’ve been here, I really haven’t experienced anything Texan. There’s a Benihana down the street, a Starbucks everywhere… though the “real Texas” beef jerky I bought at the convention center is quite tasty.
2) In tooling around with my camera, trying to find pictures of interesting things, I also noticed that there is absolutely nothing esthetically redeeming about a hotel room. I’m staying at a Hyatt Regency in downtown Houston; looking around the room, there isn’t a single element or detail that would be interesting, even in a macro shot. It’s just… boring. The “atrium” of the hotel is kind of cool, simply because of the scale, which is somewhat lost here:
I’m on the 19th floor… and the clear glass elevators are sort of nauseatingly awesome and look out over the interior of the atrium OR the outside of the building/rest of Houston. Funfunfun.
