Rest In Peace, David Foster Wallace
I'm still wrapping my head around the news that author David Foster Wallace died over the weekend of an apparent suicide. At just 46 years old, he was one of the more inventive, original, and observant writers of our time.
In his all-too-brief career, Wallace used his incisive prose in a wide variety of forms, including essays, short stories, and two novels, including the gargantuan, more-than-1,000-page (if you count the footnotes) Infinite Jest.

They Can Run, They Can Hide, But They Can't Escape Our Love
A semi-bizarre smattering of celebrities attended model/actress Sarah Foster's birthday party in LA last night. Sarah Foster, daughter of music produced David Foster (not to be confused with David Foster Wallace...that would just be weird), who, among other things is credited with introducing Ashton and Demi, wasn't actually photographed at her party, but I'm sure she was there somewhere. The theme of the night may have been hide yer face, kid but it's easy to recognize the celebs, especially when Nicole is re-wearing a dress (faux pas, indeed).
