tylercoates:

What did I get from Simon? An education - the thing my parents always wanted me to have. I learned a lot in my two years with Simon. I learned about expensive restaurants and luxury hotels and foreign travel, I learned about antiques and Bergman films and classical music. All this was useful when I went to Oxford - I could read a menu, I could recognise a fingerbowl, I could follow an opera, I was not a complete hick. But actually there was a much bigger bonus than that. My experience with Simon entirely cured my craving for sophistication. By the time I got to Oxford, I wanted nothing more than to meet kind, decent, straightforward boys my own age, no matter if they were gauche or virgins. I would marry one eventually and stay married all my life and for that, I suppose, I have Simon to thank.

If you ever happen to catch the documentary I Trust You To Kill Me about a Rocco DeLuca tour (they’re on, or were on, Keifer Sutherland’s record label) through Europe, it’s really quite interesting. Not so much for the band or the music. The music is just so so and DeLuca is one of those guys just trying to sell you another pained connection and from that divine suffering, comes creative genius. Or something. But no, what’s fascinating is watching Sutherland go on tour with them, be their horrible touring manager, trying to be just one of the guys (even though the star of 24 is effectively paying all the bills) and failing miserably. Everywhere he goes, there’s ads for 24 and people recognize him on the street as “JACK BAUER, THE MAN!” and he can’t convince anyone to join the other two people in that dingy club to watch the rock show that night. At one point, for amusement, he reenacts the Christmas tree fight. Just for the laughs of the two or three people around, even though it clearly pains him to be reminded of such a dark time in his life. But then you realize that the dark times in his life might be all the times. This is a man who manages to lose his cell phone charger in the tangles of his hotel bed sheets every single morning after sleeping alone. A rich man who proudly lives in Silverlake “because of the good people there.”

I could ramble on for a bit, but it’s an interesting portrait of a man who should be on top and yet, probably just wants to be someone else for a while. Someone happy.

“I was simply trying to assert that what there is in common between a particular fact and the sentence that asserts this fact can itself be put into a sentence.”

- Gerry Canavan quotes Don DeLillo’s Ratner’s Star, the origin of the “MIT Language Riots” referred to in David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest (a novel that partly deals with the differences between signifiers and signifieds). (via nickdouglas)
