David Foster Wallace in interview. You’ll have to turn the volume up, as it’s quite quiet. It’s part one of ten – I’m up to three, and I’m pretty sure you should watch it. It starts on humour, and moves on to talk about the things we worship and the way we are as a society. It relates a lot to Infinite Jest, (although the book was published seven years before this) – I suspect it bridges the gap between that book and the unfinished The Pale King. It’s similar to his commencement address from Kenyon College in 2005 (now published as This Is Water) – which you can (and should) read here.

Spike Jonze and Kanye West have made a short movie. (And huzzah for twitter and Rian Johnson posting it). It’s sort of wonderful. At first I thought I just kinda liked it and that Spike Jonze makes very good looking films – the man does know what he’s doing with a camera, I think. But there’s a beautiful little twist towards the end that I wasn’t expecting, and that actually took my breath away for a second.

“I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers…”
Thank you Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live.
They say every cloud has a silver lining, and the only one in the potential election of John McCain is more of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. But it’s still not worth it, America.
