I got a bunch of Wallace for Christmas, and afterwards I bought Broom of the System at Borders. So I almost have it all.

I absolutely loved reading E Unibus Pluram in A Supposedly Fun Thing. It struck me at how quick and easy and generally followable his very high academic philosophical logic is.

Oh, and don’t worry about cool beans. It’s totally cool beans if you use cool beans in conversation.

I totally got A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again (pretend it’s in italics) from my teacher, whom of which I was doing the Infinite Jest (same deal) independent study with. Cool beans. And no, I don’t plan on using ‘cool beans’ in regular conversation.

Haha, I’m not really sure yet whether footnotes are just silly on a blog (I mean, you can link to whatever your referencing—an impossibility in print). But I like having the option anyway.

After New Years was over I walked back to my apartment from the Space Needle and pretty much went to sleep. Then in the days following I mostly read A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again and played XBox 360.

It wasn’t super blog worthy in my opinion. Also, my blogging simply kind of tapered briefly there. But I think I’m back now.

Before I read all of your blog, I noticed the foot notes and thought to myself, ‘that is very DFW of him’ and lo and behold, there you were, noting it yourself. How was that for a run on sentence? And I was a but worried, as there wasn’t a new blog detailing your happenings after New Years. And I’m done.
