"There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'

I'm bored and it's been at least a week since I've mailed most of you, so you get a generic mail that is bound to entertain you at least as long as it takes you to hit delete.

The subject is a quote from Kurt Vonnegut's "Goodbye Mr Rosewater". Vonnegut died this week and if you're not familiar with his writing, your life is sadder for it. You've seen back to school, the Rodney Dangerfield 80's piece of shit movie? Remember when he hires a guy to write a term paper about Kurt Vonnegut and the professor says "whoever wrote this paper doesn't know anything about Kurt Vonnegut" ? The dude who Dangerfield hires to write the paper -- that's Kurt Vonnegut.

So last week I spoke to my lawyer/guitarist friend and it turns out that he and his wife are so freaked out about pet food killing their dogs that she's taken to cooking food for them and giving him dogfood. I'll miss you bro -- can I have your guitars? Turns out that making your own pet food is perhaps not that hard: http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/03/31/100loc_a8petmeals001.cfm
