And there you have it sports fans: the Kansas Jayhawks are the national champions! I looked briefly around the internet to try to find a device that could accurately measure how little I cared about this fact, but I couldn't find it. Apparently we as people have not yet developed technology that fine-tuned. Oh well.And as if mirroring the triviality of the jayhawks, the overall news today was boring. I couldn't even find anything worth a damn to "inspire the pen," as it were.
So what now, friends and neighbors? I'm still plugging away at my book, "Infinite Jest," by David Foster Wallace. I remember it getting an incredible write-up in Newsweek in 1996. I ran right out and bought it. And I tried to read it a few times over the past 12 years. But believe me when I say it as a daunting book. Weighing in at over 1200 really small words, it takes some serious time to turn the pages. I'm on page 244 and I feel like I've been at it for weeks. But it is incredible! So well written and funny, funny, funny. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the very rewarding challenge of reading an amazingly long and dense book.
Yeah. And I think I'll be on my way. Yeah...............................................................
