Hal Incandenza, Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace

Hal is the only extant Incandenza who looks in any way ethnic. His late father had been as a young man darkly tall, high flat Pima-tribe cheekbones and very black hair Brylcreemed back so tight there’d been a kind of enforced widow’s peak. Himself had looked ethnic, but he isn’t extant. Hal is sleek, sort of radiantly dark, almost otterish, only slightly tall, eyes blue but darkly so, and unburnable even w/o sunscreen, his untanned feet the color of weak tea, his nose ever unpeeling but slightly shiny. His sleekness isn’t oily so much as moist, milky; Hal worries secretly that he looks half-feminine. (Multiple suggestions, and happy 50th birthday)

Additional information from Clementina: “Considering descriptions of his enormous tennis-arm muscles and marijuana habit and love for sweets (so, his face couldn’t possibly look this scrawny).”

Dedicating only one double-sided page per term, author Sean Hall has effectively distilled the essential vocabulary that underlies all semiotic thought. (via This Means This, This Means That)

Ria signed the Velvet Underground cover

This is my latest manicure from Ria. I thought it would be fun to get little album covers. What I got:

Dark Side of the Moon
Unknown Pleasures
Aladdin Sane
Not an album, just a Nirvana logo
The Velvet Underground and Nico

I asked Ria if she wanted to put her signature on that last one! I thought this turned out really well. If you’re in NYC, you have to see Ria. She’s the best.

I’m kinda mad at this Mac DeMarco song which is on his Captured Tracks debut) for reminding me so much of Nikka Costa’s “Like a Feather.” (I liked Nikka Coast a lot.)

Should I care that this song is basically Talking Heads x INXS?...

“Happy Valentine’s Day, honey. I made funeral arrangements for you. No need to thank me.”

This is a good Goth Valentine’s Day idea! You could grab dinner then pick out the right casket together.

FYI

In the 70’s and 80’s western movies became very very popular in the Caribbean.

Licking shots or busin a blank as this hand gesture is sometimes called became a very popular way to show you really enjoyed a song or DJ at a party.

So for people saying RiRi is acting ghetto, hood, or like a island girl you may be interested to know that. yes this is a gesture used widely in the Caribbean but in reality the hand move stems from movie cliches of mid western gun slinging tobacco chewing cowboys.

bo! Bo! bo! just so you know

so yeah…there’s that for those that were misinformed.

Ahhh, thank you for the context.

The classic Jimmy Cliff film The Harder They Come being another product of this tradition.

This is fascinating. Appropriation and reappropriations I love it.
