Just a little English teacher moment for you all. Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. He was an interesting writer and a strange guy, but his writing influenced many people. The world could use more writers who are willing to challenge their audience like Vonnegut, his take on the world around him will be missed.

It rarely makes the news when an author dies. Kurt Vonnegut is someone all the hipsters would talk about so I'm familiar with the name, but I'm not hip or smart enough to actually mourn his passing. If I ever got on my butt and read more than the Baby Einstein selections I'd be able to relate more to the world around me. So with that, thanks Kurt for giving smart people something to do.
Not everyone who reads Vonnegut is a hipster. Dirty hippies read him too.
(Not to say his death isn't sad. He was an interesting guy. Yay for German-Americans and all that).
