Mitch and I went for a walk to the park Saturday and came across a group of people rallying for support for impeachment. We missed the part where they spelled out IMPEACH in giant letters on the grass but were there for this phot0 op. The woman on the right is named Elizabeth. I spoke to her for a while about the organization, worldcan'twait.org.

Later i met up with dave and walked around looking at art fairs and taking pictures of the blooming trees. We ended up seeing Hot Fuzz in times square. It was pretty funny.

now I am in Blessing's HTML class trying to wrap my head around frames.

I've been back in NYC for about four days now...the rush is just starting to wear off...so far I have met up with Rob, Lindon, Blessing, Adi, Michelle, Krishna, Dave, Harmony, Jake, Samantha, Mary, Curtis, and Socorro...I went to my HTML class, stopped by CCNY, got my hair African braided by a beautiful woman in the library restroom, went to a class at the library about researching Architecture in NYC, saw a free screening of Superbad (which I have to admit was funny), walked by John Hodgeman and co (be still my heart!), ate at a nice thai spot, went to the legal aid office, saw the Barcelona exhibit at the Met and...well...I guess that's about it. This not watching TV thing is working out well.

happy tv turn off week

I found this book of Haiku(s?) here and am inspired to write some:

I'm trying out this cute little tiny digital camera to see if is better than Dave's Nikon S9...it doesnt have the nikon's cool time lapse animation features but cost a bit less and makes avi video files which seem to work better with my pinnacle editing software than the realvideo files made by my mom's kodak. So...here are some pics Victoria, TX including our trip to the top of the Wells Fargo Building.

Ok...so I am thinking that (until recently) Kurt Vonnegut was a pretty good candidate for "Greatest Living American Novelist" with the possible exception of Toni Morrison, and, um...well at the moment I can't really think of anyone better. Is J. D. Salinger still alive? I really love Geek Love by Katherine Dunn but it isn't as universally appealing as Slaughterhouse-Five. Don DeLillo's earlier stuff is great but not as laugh-out-loud funny as Vonnegut.

Now that he's fallen, his books have to compete with those of Hemingway, Buck, Hawthorn, Bourroughs, Fitzgerald, Melville, Faulkner, Phillip Roth and Hunter S. Thompson all battles I feel Vonnegut would win hands down. Twain was pretty funny. He might have been better or as good.

For readers who were alive in '75, Vonnegut was pretty much the best...non? Too bad he isn't around to bring some humorous insight to VA this week.
