"Anger and coffee, feeling mean." [entries|friends|calendar] Jimmy Christ [ website | My Website ] [ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ] [ calendar | livejournal calendar ]

[19 Mar 2008|12:28pm] Last night and this morning I was experiencing severe panic, just general life panic and now I feel much better. Work problems are not insurmountable and I'm going to move in with James Minton in late May/early June - affordable housing can be had for two it seems. I had a brilliant weekend of great adventure and many brilliant books. None of which were written by Curzio Malaparte alas. Also, sad news: British science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke has died in his adopted home of Sri Lanka at the age of 90. The Somerset-born author came to fame in 1968 when short story The Sentinel was made into the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick. His visions of space travel and computing sparked the imagination of readers and scientists alike. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse paid tribute, hailing the writer as a "great visionary". Since 1995, the author had been largely confined to a wheelchair by post-polio syndrome. He died at 0130 local time (2000 GMT) of respiratory complications and heart failure, according to his aide, Rohan De Silva. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7304004.stm It's unclear whether or not he previously donated money to polio charities so he probably had it coming. 1 moron embarrassed themselves. take a stand.
