I don't know that I've mourned the death of a celebrity like this. This really hit me, Vonnegut has been so instrumental in my life. I'm very sad.
Today a giant passed.

Sirens of Titan totally changed my life. Vonnegut was a God.
I started today, the first thing I see this morning: Kurt Vonnegut is dead. I turned on the news and it's Imus Imus Imus, five seconds of the death of a literary genius, and back to the results of Anna Nicole's baby daddy test.
I've decided he gets a national day of mourning.

You and I both.
I'm so sick of the Anna's baby-daddy. |

We should definitely build a gargantuan statue of Vonnegut that straddles San Francisco bay and can be seen from space. New Deal for the New Century.

Kurt was one of my very favorite authors. I've read Cat's Cradel almost 10 times.
It was weird though, because the same day I started doing a project in my English class on him, he died.
