Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties — all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name’s Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion — these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated.
— David Foster Wallace

“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
- Alfred D'Souza

When asked “how about in cases of rape,” he responded: “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason.”

My roommates' favorite bar in D.C. Adams Mill suddenly closed up shop this past Sunday, and the Dupont yipsters are up in arms. Bitter, some pathetically sober member of the district boozegeoisie with a bootleg version of Final Cut took an afternoon off from his job picking up mocha lattes and giving reach-arounds to Rosa Delauro's voting bloc to crap life into the below long-dead meme. Pause and bear witness to Hitler's hipster tantrum after learning that he must now troll for nineteen year old AU drop-out poon at Sign of the Whale.
WARNING: Probably incredibly unfunny if you're not from D.C./not a drinker/a particularly sensitive Jew.
