-WANT! The Yo, Let's Tangoes is one of my favorite bands, and I've wanted to go to their Hanukkah shows for years.

-Delia's started sending me catalogs again. ??? Wouldn't I be too old for Delia's? On the other hand, I do look very young. The other day a butcher at Harris Teeter's advised me to "stay in school;" I am probably older than he is.

-I finished reading Infinite Jest yesterday. Here's how goddamn bananas this book is: there is no scene in which the two most prominent characters (Hal and Don) meet, or even move in the same circles, but it's offhandedly referenced in the first ten pages (the book is 1000+ pages long) that sometime before the brief first section (which is chronologically the last scene) and the rest of the book that they meet, join up, and try to resolve the central conflict*. And you HAVE to realize this to figure out what happens, plot-wise. BUH???

*This is terrible, terrible writing, I know, but I don't want to spoil anything.
