I came across this quote again tonight on the Interwebs, and it made me weepy. I know this sounds extremely pretentious but sometimes late at night I am overcome by a sadness from remembering that Kurt Vonnegut is dead. I truly miss him. Many people need desperately to receive this message: ‘I feel ...

Bad things happen. Constantly. Relationships that are supposed to last forever, end. People you take for granted disappear. You fail tests you study for. Your favorite left shoe gets a hole in it the first day it snows, your computer crashes the night before a paper’s due, and you suddenly realize t ...

I just finished watching one of the Rohmer films I had not yet seen, L'Ami de Mon Amie. It was probably one of my least favorites so far, mostly for the same reason that I've never liked A Midsummer Night's Dream much, that being that the plot is kind of b.s.

Armageddon in Retrospect is a book that has been sitting on one of my shelves for several years. I came across it on one of those days that I was working on purging the shelves of books I'll ...

This morning, I found a quote in Ishmael that is related to the quote I posted by Kurt Vonnegut a few weeks back.

Kurt Vonnegut dedicated his 1976 novel Slapstick "to the memory of Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Norvell Hardy, two angels of my time." Ah, weren't they, though?

Ich kannte den 2007 verstorbenen US-Schriftsteller Kurt Vonnegut bislang nicht, aber spätestens nach seiner kurzweiligen Erklärung für gelungenes Storytelling werde ich mir wohl das eine oder andere seiner Werke besorgen müssen. Denn so, wie er anhand einer einfachen Tafel Storytelling erklärt, ist ...
