Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care. What you wish to sing of as tragic love is an attachment not carefully chosen.

i want to study at enfield tennis academy.

i will say one visine bottle of clean urine please. i would watch the entertainment on interlace all night while drinking powdered milk with my Big Buddy. i'll have mario incandenza's favorite foods every day that's worth $71,200 in tuition. i would play eschaton every day. i am also more likely to meet people in wheelchairs, ortho stice, michael pemulis, and charles tavis.

i wish i lived in O.N.A.N. :(

"...he begins to cry in a way that hurts his chest, and asks Death to set him free and be his mother, and Joelle either shakes or nods her lovely unfocused head and says: Wait."

i finished infinite jest today & probably had a similar reaction to others, at least i assume others must feel this way, that there had to be more of it & it just felt almost impossible that that had been the last page. & i was explaining to my dad why it was that it felt so strange that i had actually finished it when i felt truly that i could turn to the next page & find more not just notes & errata that id already read, explaining how the reason i felt there was more was because the novel was written in a way where, say, you picture a typical novel or anything with story & the formula is beginning, middle & end & you have a clearly defined path so that upon completion you really feel you’ve finished the story that its climax was built to & paid off, but infinite jest is if you wrote a novel around the edges of that story, that the actual story is something inferred from fragments & ‘missing pieces’. and just as i’d said that out loud i had an epiphany that that was exactly what james had told gately his goals as a filmmaker was, that he wanted to give a voice to the figurants to the people in sitcoms who sat in the background only miming human behaviour who were so receded as human beings that their stories were either nonexistent or usurped by the real protagonists of the story, i realised that infinite jest is a novel about figurants

#so id say that actually im really glad (year of) infinite jest had that effect on me #that our two most protagonist-like characters spend the last of it with almost no voice but we hear everything #infinite jest #david foster wallace
