I just got the news that the great Storm Thorgerson passed away today. I’m going to have a tribute written up for the weekend. This week can straight fuck off right about now.

Seriously; I’m half-expecting the Koreans to blow up LA tomorrow.

When the Sox, the Celtics, the Patriots, the Bruins are champions again – to the chagrin of New York and Chicago fans - the crowds will gather and watch a parade go down Boylston Street. And this time next year, on the third Monday in April, the world will return to this great American city to run harder than ever to cheer even louder for the one hundred and eighteenth Boston Marathon. Bet on it!

latimes: The intersections between Los Angeles and literature Yesterday marked the debut of our Literary L.A. feature, which highlights literary hotspots across the city. Want to go where Ray Bradbury wrote “Fahrenheit 451” on a type writer fueled by dimes? We have you covered. And of course, the tool’s a work-in-progress, so send over your feedback on authors, works or mentions you’d like to see included! Check out the tool here, or get psyched for this weekend’s Festival of Books, running from April 20-21 at the USC Campus. I’m reblogging this to bookmark it.

“I never thought of the Tramp in terms of appeal. He was myself, a comic spirit, something within me that said I must express this. I felt so free. The adventure of it. The madness. I can do any mad, crazy thing I like. And then?—did it come off, this insane idea I had, did it come off? That was the thrill.”

Charles Chaplin
April 16, 1889 — December 25, 1977

To brighten my/your day. Happy birthday, Charlie. Always one of my favorites.
