kinda nuts.
thanks rm for the awesome radio recommendation! it's made my listening day much better. i've been getting sick of listening to all the same radio stations every day. at first it isn't so bad, but then it starts to become repetitive. while i like low, i don't want to hear "california" 5 times in a row. i'm not even joking about that! it kept repeating!
even though i am pretty broke, i decided that i had to get out of the office for lunch. i consumed some chicken curry, which made me a very happy camper. i feel so much better now! i guess i was starving! in response, i drew this really awful drawing...(which i kinda love):
and...as jon informed me today, it is albert camus' birthday. here is all the information that jon sent me on the event.
it's the birthday of writer albert camus, (books by this author) born in mondovi, algeria (1913), whose father was killed in the first world war when camus was just a baby. he grew up in poverty, raised by his single mother, and almost died of tuberculosis when he was in high school. but when he moved to paris in 1940, he began writing the stranger (1942), about a man who kills an arab on a beach for no apparent reason. the stranger made him famous almost overnight, and he went on to write other novels, plays, and essays that became associated with existentialist philosophy, including the plague (1947) and the myth of sisyphus (1955). he won the nobel prize in literature in 1957, just 15 years after his first book was published. he was killed in a car accident in 1960.
