Say Hello to my Inner Hippie.
Despite the fact that the new, cool way of getting news brought to you is through RSS feeds, I still prefer an e-mail from CNN. Today's e-mail was sad, and it made me want to stop, smell the flowers (assuming it were actually spring and not monsoon season, here in NY) and appreciate life.
Kurt Vonnegut died today. This is a major loss for literature. I suggest everyone should go home and pluck his or her favorite Vonnegut novel/short story/ and read it. If you don't own a book by Vonnegut, go and buy one. If you're not into books and only have the patience for short stories, check out Bagombo Snuff Box - it's a collection of Short Stories.
If you can't even stomach reading a few pages of really well written, funny, imaginative and sarcastic prose, at the very least, read a quote or two.
Maybe you should look at some art

Sad to hear for a fiesty (hes from NY, of course) writer. L doesn't gush over too many writers but when he showed up on the Daily Show to talk about his new book, L actually STOPPED simming (!!!!!) to watch and listen to him.
