You Can Do Anything SNL
Infinite Jest - Best Tennis Book Ever
The descriptions of tennis are so vivid.
He talks about how Lemon Pledge is the only sunscreen that will withstand a three-set sweat. And how you should call your rackets, "sticks". And how the ball is perfect potential energy. How youth players grow into their potential (or don't), and how potential is it's own kind of responsibility.
There's some other stuff in the book too. About Quebec separatists and a brother who punts for the Arizona Cardinals and some video disc that's killing people.
But I really like the tennis.
We have been watching 30 Rock at lunch.
The last three seasons are uneven.
I have been tasked with condensing three seasons of television into 6 weeks of lunch viewing.
In doing this, I was surprised how much heart is contained in 30 Rock.
There are some major storylines and character growth mixed in with all the ridiculousness.
I'll be posting clips as we watch because I love 30 Rock.
