Shocked smiley when I need him?
I am shocked. Truly. I remember doing interpretations of some of his works in my speech class. Wow... And his journalism... He was so strange and worn out and... I'm so sad...
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes:
"There was an awful suspicion in my mind that I'd finally gone over the hump, and the worst thing about it was that I didn't feel tragic at all, but only weary, and sort of comfortably detached." (from The Rum Diaries -- which I need to re-read!)
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
