An Amazing Tribute to a Book She Liked

Looking for Alaska is a young adult novel (Printz Award) by John Green. He also wrote “An Abundance of Katherines,” the title of which may have been inspired by the Kids in the Hall’s “30 Helens Agree” sketch. Or not.

The song is the Scene Aesthetic’s “Beauty in the Breakdown.”

The animation was created with the Sims 2 game, and edited with Windoze Movie Maker. I get cross-eyed imagining how much time, skill and mind-numbingly technical acrobatics this feat consumed. An obsession’s worth. So Jen V. is some kind of goddess.

• I’m calling to urge President Bush to implement “Plan B” to help bring an end to the genocide in Darfur. Specifically, I am asking him to:
• Enforce tough sanctions against Sudan;
• Work with the UN to authorize and enforce a no-fly zone over Darfur to protect civilians from Sudanese bombers; and
• Press the UN for faster deployment of UN peacekeepers to protect civilians in Darfur.

Thanks, you rock!!!
