In the strangest of places

OCR scanned with errors, but still one of my favorite things that David Foster Wallace ever wrote: An article about David Lynch. It takes some doing to get through, and I know no one has time to read such irrelevancies anymore--it's about a movie that came out 13 years ago--but worth posting, just the same. He captures the way I feel about David Lynch's creepiness in a way I would never have been able to articulate. And of course he's hilarious as always. I love the multilayeredness, footnotes and interminable sentences. Some of that he has in common with other entertaining writers, but I love that DFW makes things so personal; he doesn't distance himself with irony (like, say, Dave Eggers.)

So, my crush on DFW continues posthumously. I have a thing for brilliant men. Too bad so many brilliant men are also crazy, moody, and self-obsessed.

I love this Catherine Newman article; I love just about everything she writes. She has such a beautiful, human, funny way of revealing herself.

This article does not even begin to touch the teeniest tip of the truth about the matter. But an article like this is so much better than none at all. I am really starting to feel like awareness of adult ADHD needs to be raised by 1000%. Of course I am still in the process of raising my OWN awareness!

This stuff drives me nuts.

OK, so this article is unattributed and nonscientific and all that. I still like it. Food for thought.
