I am generally not much of an emotional person. No excuses, it's just the way I am. But one thing that will get me every time is the standard trope of the unordinary acting extraordinary. As in, the story from yesterday that marathoners, upon finishing a race of 26 miles, a grueling test of endurance in which it is not uncommon for your nipples to bleed or for you to defecate as you run, went to hospitals to see if they could donate blood. Or the story of this man, who was at the race to honor his two deceased sons, and found himself administering triage to victims with blown off limbs.
Those are the stories that will always get me.
And will always remind me no matter what evils there are, good can and will triumph.
A quick summary of interesting things that happened at Coachella this past weekend (a huge outdoor concert in San Francisco). Sad to hear about the Violent Femmes appearance.
A good old fashioned murder mystery, from one of today's premiere non-fiction writers.
Is there too much good television on right now - and will that ultimately hurt it?
There are a roughly a billion awesome things in this story about Kobe Bryant trying to become a rapper. I'll let you discover them on your own.
Sounds like if you can get over the fact that the movie will have nothing to do with the book, World War Z could be enjoyable.
