I have received the awesome request to write a post about why I love David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest so much, and I have been talking about the book a great deal online with strangers (I posted on a site that matches people by books, and when I described why IJ matters to me, I merely wrote, "I think this book may have saved me." Which is true. You'd be amazed how deeply people have responded to that). I am working on that post, but it is HARD. And soul-sticky, and slippery, and nearly impossible to grasp.
Also, we had journal orientation for the new members today (I'm editor-in-chief of my law journal) and I had to get work done and classes start tomorrow and I am tired. I will get the Mad Men post up tomorrow, but that IJ post, that may take some time. I just . . . I want to get it right.
In the meantime, life goes on here at Unnatural Forces. My cats have discovered yet ANOTHER tampon to play with - does my closet give birth to them? Where do they get these? I do not know.
Azrou helped me change the sheets.
And Amouch does what he does best, which is look pretty in the light.
May everyone's week begin beautifully!
Look forward to the IJ post! I read that book in the month after I graduated from college, gave myself that chunk of time to do not much else but read and it was perfect. I'm starting a class on art therapy and cannot stop thinking about that scene when he stumbles into the hold your teddy bear and cry inner child therapy circle.
ReplyDeleteAwww. Pretty kitties. Is there only the two of them? It's funny how cats choose a favorite toy, and then seem to develop a radar for that type of toy, and can find it _anywhere_.
