Playing with curious hair - fabulous heads

"I think, given what we know now about Wallace's depression, this story is grappling with whether or not happiness exists, and if so, if it is possible for happiness to exist without killing it -- consider, for instance, that the object/title of this story -- the happiness/obsession -- is the girl with curious hair, and that the story ends with Mr. Wonderful and Gimlet chasing the father/molester of the girl (who is sleeping his his arms) with a knife or pair of scissors, intent on separating the hair from the girl.

Hence Cheese desperately questioning Sick Puppy about the source of his apparent happiness, and the revelation we get in that his happiness exists only so long as he remains fully in the present, dissociated from his memories and, to some extent, dissociated from himself (drugs: though he claims they do not alter his consciousness, he is a bit unreliable). Here, his happiness begins to fade almost as soon as he becomes cognizant of it, just as Gimlet's enjoyment becomes something entirely other as she continues to fixate on, and obtaining, it".

when I suffer from insomnia, I look for some David Foster Wallace's books, specially "Infinite Jest" is a mildly effective cure method.

"Neither CBS nor Warner Bros. has said whether Men ("Two and a half Men" series) will return for a ninth season, but industry speculation is that the show will almost certainly return. And talent representatives say Warners has quietly begun pursuing an actor to appear on the series next season. Who that actor will be has become Topic A in Hollywood. Speculation has ranged from the plausible to the peculiar, with names from Woody Harrelson to Jeremy Piven to Bob Saget being bandied about. A Warners spokesperson says none of those actors is in contention.

While a new cast member wouldn’t make “Sheen money” -- in the $1.2 million realm per episode -- slipping into television's No. 1 sitcom would earn an actor a rate well above the usual freshman series fee, one observer says. But the role would come with intense pressure as blame could be placed on the newcomer if the revamped show flops. Others have suggested Men might consider a "roommate" scenario, with multiple stars appearing in one or a few episodes to fill the Sheen void". Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com

Entertainment Weekly ‘Breaking Dawn’: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner

Esme (Elizabeth Reaser) greets members of the Denali (from left, Maggie Grace, Casey LaBow and MyAnna Buring) at Bella and Edward’s wedding.
Bella enjoys ”morning-after” eggs courtesy of new husband Edward on Isle Esme. ”I like the honeymoon scenes,” Robert Pattinson says, ”because it’s such a massive turnaround in Edward and Bella’s relationship.”Jacob receives his invitation to the wedding. ”He’s still getting over losing out on Bella,” says Taylor Lautner. ”By the end he’s able to accept it and deal with it like a man.”

"As the stars and director tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (in theaters November 18 and November 2012) involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far. If audiences haven’t matured with the Twilight books, they’re about to grow up fast. “We shot everything — whether it’s the lovemaking or the childbirth — as potent and powerful as it can be,” says director Bill Condon, who knew he was working within the constraints of a PG-13 rating. “It will be interesting to see whether there will be people who think it too disturbing for this universe.” For her part, Stewart wishes the movie could have been even truer to the graphic nature of the book — not so much the honeymoon sequence (“It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good”), but the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee. “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” she says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.” Source: www.breakingdawnmovie.org

Robert Pattinson talks about love at first sight MTV Interview

"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson has been voted Hollywood's best boyfriend. He's smoking hot, charming, and talented, but it's his devotion to girlfriend Kristen Stewart that makes fans love him even more.

"Robert Pattinson has been named the best boyfriend in Hollywood by website Hollywood Life, and it's easy to see why. Rob is so laid back, and obviously very in love with Kristen Stewart. The "Runaways" actress is a lucky young lady, as she's bagged one of the hottest actors.
Pattinson has constantly gone out of his way to make his girl happy. (Why can't all guys be like that?) He's whisked her away on romantic getaways, bought her expensive gifts, and kept quiet about their relationship due to her shyness. Robert Pattinson is easily the best boyfriend in Hollywood. Hopefully Kristen Stewart realizes what a gem she has and holds on to it". Source: celebs.gather.com
