It's probably your trademark moustache.

vonnegut is good times but his most recent essays kind of suck balls. not gonna lie. he's turned into a curmudgeon and his essays leave a bitter aftertaste. :( oh well, i haven't read his earlier nonfiction. maybe they're better than a man without a country.

I imagine his rants against Nixon and Vietnam are probably more compelling than ones against Bush and Iraq. I haven't read the more recent stuff, but saw him on The Daily Show promoting Man Without a Country and I think I have an idea what you mean.

I thought you sounded sick today. Please feel better.

How was 100 Years of Solitude? I've been meaning to ask that because it's come up at every quiz bowl competition and I always miss the questions about it; you'd think eventually I'd figure it out. On Bullshit is a really cool-looking little book, and it was fairly amusing to read as well.

I'm sorry we never got to hang out this break. If I get accepted to Carleton I'll probably blow through Northfield on my post-April 15 college visit roadtrip. (I would have said boogaloo, but you put that in your title and that would be just ridiculous to have it twice on one entry.)

It's very good, but lags at about the last 100 pages. The most of the characters you become interested in die about halfway through, but I guess that's inevitable in a book that takes place over the course of 100 years. I'm sure we'll have a chance to catch up sometime within the next year or so.

P.S. I saw "Battle of the Brains" on TV yesterday. Nice work, dumbass.

I thought the same thing about The Jungle, and I didin't end up hating that, so maybe I'll give it a try.

P.S. AHHHH I can't believe you watched that!! god, the shame...
