three things I knew which should impress you
The Moldy Peaches reworked their hit from Juno, Anyone Else But You, for a commercial for the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Read about it here and be as amazed as I am at my guessing at this knowing how limited my musical knowledge is.
For over a week now I've been reading the accolades and tributes for David Foster Wallace. I will admit that I have only read one of his works, Incarnations of Burned Children, which haunts me still, but I just knew, even without reading it, that Infinite Jest must somehow have influenced Wes Anderson's The Royal Tennenbaums. I will also admit that this may not be much of a stretch.
Finally, I knew that that dead body, on House last night, was going to explode.

I too have loved David Foster Wallace since reading his piece on lobsters in Gourmet mag. I have such a hard time understanding the desire to just stop being. I can't imagine a life so bleak that the act of waking up is undesirable. So sad.
I watched Law and Order:SVU last night.
Impressed, nonetheless. ;)
Have never read DFW. Never even heard of him until he died. I KNOW.
And I have not watched that episode of House yet, but thank you for the warning. Now I will be sure not to watch it during lunch, yo.
And I guess I'm glad to hear the spoiler alert about the exploding corpse, because somehow I missed House on Tuesday night. (Which is maybe a good thing, because we're watching Season 4 on DVD and getting awfully confused.)
Not my day.

Eurolush: don't you have SKY? That's where I watch all the US dramas and comedies
Sorry, he distracted me a bit, now what was I saying?
