rediscovering old works

hey jesus?

Why would one start any kind of message, especially an ad, and begin it with "Hey Jesus...". Is Jesus sitting down, post shower, on the floor, damp hair, untied robe, remote in hand, watching television, at prime time waiting for this ad? Does he reply back, does he wave like a child who can just see his mother, or does he cringe with his fist in his mouth.

infinite jest

i always like looking for ideas for characters, for stories, but an annoying and impossible trait of mine is that i want it to be original. For instance a character that for ever looks at the remnants upon their soiled tissue. This has been in many books but originality, just needs to shift a little to be new. while reading David Foster Wallaces' Infinite Jest i, like so many others, found something beautiful: Steeply watched Marathe blow one nostril into the handkerchief. Marathe was one of the rare types who did not examine the hankie after he blew. i will be posting more about this book.
