"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature." Tom Robbins

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

This sentence was quoted to me seven years ago by my manager at a stupid telemarketing job to which I said good riddance at the end of my summer post. I promptly lost touch with that manager, and have thought of him since as the only person who could remind me who wrote that sentence. A little while ago I resolved that I would not find out who wrote it until I actually did read it.

Yesterday I found it. Douglas Adams, The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. That was the most satisfying sentence I’ve ever read.

p.s. Mason's posted our Coachella pictures on his site now. These are all the photos of Coachella I have, unless I could the ones posted on the Coachella message boards. I had an entire roll of photos that came out 100% overexposed. I am blaming the airline El Al for this entirely, after they scanned and re-scanned my bag for BOMBS BOMBS BOMBS.

Pesky Vogons.

Did you see the movie? I'm a Douglas Adams fan and I thought it would be crap, but they did it justice.

I heard they took large chunks outta the movie . . . then again I read the book quickly so I'm in a good state to see an adaptation, however bastardized if at all.
