I live to consume all media!

I just finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. He might not write perfect novels, but a) no one does, and I can't figure out why he gets so much grief for not doing so, and b) I could care less if this book is perfect or not, because it got me somewhere deep.


Also, the episode of Freaks & Geeks about the homecoming dance is pretty damn close to perfect. One of the best endings to anything I've ever seen.


Also also, Sciuto and Anne and I watched 49UP last night (it's an ongoing British documentary. You can read about it here), and were depressed. It was one of those things that I heard about and thought "oh, that's gotta be really interesting," and didn't want anything else to do with once it was finished. Not that anyone shouldn't be interested in it; it's just that it's depressing. Not much else is depressing, though. Score.

If you guys are watching/reading/listening to cool stuff, I wanna read about it. Put it UP!

Colin, where have you gone? Do they have the internet there?
