on the other hand, I never cry at funerals

[rhyme]

I'm not sure what's more depressing: the fact that Michael Chrichton has died or the fact that I only discovered it by chance while reading a different article. I almost missed the news, and I've been watching a lot of news this week. ;________________;



(On the other hand, there's something kind of magical about discovering that someone you have never heard of was, unexpectedly, kind of awesome awesome. I flipped to it by chance in a back issue from two months ago, and couldn't stop re-reading it. Also, while looking it up online, I found one that was actually quite relevant to current happenings in California.)
