What a day in the world of news. The bad stories were coming fast and furious... and the background din was of the Green River Killer pleading guilty to 48 counts of murder. And we had 2 murders and a couple of suspicious deaths locally. Fun.

Following mayhem day, I went to see the film "American Splendor." BRILLIANT film on the life of Harvey Pekar starring the brilliant Paul Giamatti. The film wove the real Pekar and his real friends, family and co-workers with the actors playing those same people. The best scene was of the real Pekar and his real friend Toby Radloff discussing jellybeans while the actor playing Radloff and Giamatti (as Pekar) are in the background laughing their heads off at the people they're playing. Wonderful stuff.

So mayhem gave way to creativity. Phew!
