You're Invading My Space!

This is hella cool. It both freaked me the hell out and made me miss my Grandma at the same time. Turns out, my Grandmother was actually a Space Invader. You'd never know it looking at her, but she was. Fortunately, when she came down from the stars, she was distracted by bowling, whiskey sours, sun bathing, and giving the best hugs ever, so she never got around to conquering our planet**. Take a look and be mesmerized.




**This is a total lie. It reminded me of my Grandma because she had an old Atari at her house, and whenever we used to go visit, my brother, sister, and I would get to play for a little while. It was pretty awesome.

RIP Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — `God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”‘

–by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., from God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater,

Vonnegut is easily one of my favorite writers, and Cat's Cradle may be my favorite book ever PLUS he made a cameo in Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School. Nothing funny to add to this one, I'm just sad to see him go. Luckily, he's written so many books, I still have a ton I haven't read yet. I wasn't so lucky with one of my other favorite writers, Douglas Adams.
