Into the Arms of Mother Night...


"Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt."
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
1922 - 2007


Internecine irony: I quote Baudrillard and express concern about the charge left on his lifetime battery. Less than five months later he takes a dirt bath. I quote Vonnegut only ten days ago. Now he's gone.

Who's next, Vaneigem?

Keyboard of Death.

Suddenly there are a handful of people I'd love to quote right now whom I'd otherwise prefer to ignore...

"Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia."

He wrote some amazing stuff, and surely will be missed, but don't quote me on that....
