Infinite Summer

I've decided to make the most of my convalescence. I am catching up on all sorts of media that I haven't had time to really delve into. My major project is actually a popular one this summer. In honor of David Foster Wallace's life (just after his death), loads of people are reading his Infinite Jest. There is a huge online community full of people from all of the world working their way through its dense 1000 pages together. It is a challenge, but engrossing, and I can't wait to be able to say I've read it start to finish.

P.S. If you decide to join in, here are some helpful tips from kottke.org.

Vicodin

I am apparently terrible at keeping my July 10th Resolutions... In my defense, I did just have my ankle chopped open on Monday, and have been lying around on Vicodin for the past few days. Perhaps it is a decent excuse. Perhaps not.

July 10th Resolution

I have made a new goal to write a blog post a day for one whole month. Partially, this is brought on by the fact that I am going to have my ankle chopped open on Monday, and will be in bed for at least two weeks. Also, I just want to be a real blogger, not one of those who starts a blog but then never ever does anything with it. I may change the format somewhat, I'm not sure what all I will be talking about. But, since I have a total of (I think) zero regular readers, that shouldn't shake the foundations of anybody's world. The end.
