and so it goes...
kurt vonnegut up and died.
he was one of my favorite writers, a man i greatly admired. i read about it on yahoo news, and then again on wikipedia news. and when i went back not an hour later, both sites had removed it from their top headlines. i guess it wasn't as important as the broken leg of new jersey's governor, or some kid named sanjaya's hair.
vonnegut probably expected as much, so i don't know why it made me so sad.
but i've got a mid-term to take, and a baby in my belly to take care
of, so i musn't dwell on the loss of a literary icon or the
indifference of our news media. i hope you all are having a lovely
thursday. thank you so much for your kind words and congratulations. i
had almsot forgotten why i used to come on this vox thing, and your
comments were fantastic reminders.
