Well, if we have cats we have to have fewer dogs. I would say 2 dogs, 2 cats, tops.
Nah, that's like question number 1 after someone's name when you first meet a person. You can't marry someone without knowing if they have pets or what their thoughts on pets are, cause if yours don't match, then it won't work. Or like most husbands, the wife does whatever she wants and the husband just has to deal with it.
*fewer dogs,not less dogs. This is me being an ass
Yeah I hear you re: Bradbury. He doesn't have as much re-readability for me as other writers do. Also I think I just dig KVJ's conversational tone? I read a lot of Philip Roth, too, so maybe it's just that I like reading these things that run a little crass.Ignoring a survey to talk about authors, nerd alert
Yeah, pretty much. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/dec/03/kurt-vonnegut-biography
Yeah, that was a shitty day. I don't have any cool stories about the day he died, but I can tell you that no one at my shitty retail job was particularly impressed by my explanation of why I seemed really depressed that day.
Having vague memories now that my one English teacher in high school who had us read Cat's Cradle had to make a giant stink for a long time before they let her do that, but...yeah. I ended up with an entire shelf of Vonnegut before I graduated, thanks to that teacher and that book. Can totally relate to the "someone different like I was" feel.
Eh. As an adult I'd have to pull harder for Bradbury; just as concise, so much more elegant, didn't have to stunt nearly so hard to get his point across.
Which isn't to say that Vonnegut isn't great. I'm glad you got to teach classes where you could, er, "inspire" people to read him, that must have been pretty cool.
***end nerd alert, please continue talking about sportsballs or whatever
That panda got signed to Elite's red panda division after attending an open call at the agency. Now, its face will grace magazine ads as the new face of a Dior fragrance.
@Kerek
Still a sports related person, so no.@Kennedy what about a statue of Ron Artest beating that fan up? Would that work?
