Wasn't really sure what to make of Pale King in the end, so I started reading bits of Infinite Jest for a second time - it's so much more illuminating the second time around. Lots of parts I still left me confused though. One thing I thought was interesting is how you'd get different characters...

ha, I really don't want it to be Mario, because he's one of the most heart-meltingly lovely characters i've ever read.

Some of that stuff is talked about here Rich, but yeah not in any way conclusively... http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?8221-David-Foster-Wallace-RIP/ w/r/t that link, there's some interesting theories there but yeah it does seem a bit like he's inferring maybe a bit too much from too...

fuck yeah i forgot about them too, one big creepy revolving many-faced head, that thing seriously gave me the willies at the time. "GUILTY OR INNOCENT?" "INNOCENT!" <plunges defendant into death-pool>

YES, I'M PARANOID - BUT AM I PARANOID ENOUGH?

I only really actually physically go to record shops these days for second hand stuff, and pretty much everyone I know who buys records is the same. Anything new I/we buy online. Music and video exchange in greenwich is my favourite local shop for second hand stuff, picked up some incredible...

Plus it's way worse in the film industry right? How many openly gay actors can you name? I can only think of Rupert Everett

Is that guy Antony (of the Johnsons) gay? how about that Rufus Wainwright fella?

Ok, I joined. I have to say "Reál Talk" is the finest team name so far.

you guys may have already heard most of these tunes as they're a few months old or whatever, but I hadn't heard any of these before and guttaboy jihad has compiled them all into a mixtape. it's really fucking good. pretty much every track is really strong. eg these ones are great:

Being more fastidious about ironing your clothes.

so glad you're enjoying it. i'm almost at the end of my second go through. it's my favourite book ever, i think. just the way it's so hilarious and moving at the same time, and so smart without being pretentious. the length is too daunting for most of my friends i recommend it to, but it gets...

I'm kind of up for fantasy football, but whenever i've done one with my work before I'll just pick a team at the start happily enough, but I can never be arsed to keep up with it every week or change or tweak the team in any way and it just becomes a bit pointless. I once had Dean Ashton in my...

haha! i'm quite happy to've got that so wrong, as i definitely don't feel ready to be a PGU yet.

totally OT I know, but I have the biggest crush on rosie swash.

haha - there is a DJ Pantha and he's fucking brilliant.

Being in a restaurant and ordering a bottle of wine that's not simply the cheapest / house option. And then when the waiter asks if you want to taste it, actually tasting it with the real possibility of sending it back if you don't like it.

no way corpsey, i fucking love that film! it's from the 80s, not the 70s - it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema and has very weighty nostalgia value for me, eg all the "you got the touch / you got the power!" pomp-rock soundtrack etc. Plus all of the main goodie characters from the TV...

what does everything reckon of the lil b album? I really like it. Doesn't quite hit the heights of his best internet stuff eg "motivation" or "myspace" but there's some nice stuff on there. He posted the itunes link for it about ten times in a row on twitter, and then posted a mediafire link for...
