John Hughes dead at 59

John Hughes died today of a heart attack. The first five films he directed were all iconic 80s hits. But the most touching thing you'll read about him today is his penpal relationship with blogger Alison Byrne Fields.

Erm, it's still on the front page. Search for "John Hughes" and there it is.

You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain and an athlete and a basket case ... a princess and a SEXTUPLE POSTER!!!
