Quote: “What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human … is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic.” — David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest. Oh Joaquin Phoenix.

Listen: LA singer/songwriter Rachael Cantu covers Ra Ra Riot's "Can You Tell" (Via)



Watch: I'm a Kevin Smith fan and all, but this is pretty funny. Especially since, for some reason beyond explanation, I've been following this "Too Fat to Fly" controversy



Watch: Mark Bittman (love his book Food Matters and his cookbooks How to Cook Everything & How To Cook Everything Vegetarian) talks at TED about "What's Wrong with What We Eat"
