I can't explain

why I find this photo so amusing, but I really think it's the best thing I've seen all day. Scowl on, Arnie.

On an entirely unrelated note, today a black guy told me he likes my "swag," whatever the hell that means. It made me feel rad.

I love Kurt Vonnegut

Or at least I love the nonsense he said and wrote. The man was a genius. In fact, I have a quote of his tattooed on my foot. Lots of people think he's absurd and overrated, but I truly do not care. His works are a bit ridiculous, but I still think they're brilliant. I adore him. At any rate, I just read something he wrote a few years before his death, and it made me smile. So here you go:

“Where do I get my ideas from? You might as well have asked that of Beethoven. He was goofing around in Germany like everybody else, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out of him. It was music. I was goofing around like everybody else in Indiana, and all of a sudden stuff came gushing out. It was disgust with civilization.”

-Kurt Vonnegut, 2004
