COMIC? NO. HILARIOUS: So, Comic Sans MS was cool for about two minutes in 1997. Okay Maybe a bit of 1998, too. Apparently, the rest of the world didn’t get the memo. Here’ an AWESOME Wall Street Journal pieceabout the backlash against the typeface.

FAN MAIL?: My good friend Stephanie Nelson submitted this screenshot today from her Scrabble game:

Unfortunately, she lost. Still, it was still a really nice thought.

IT’S GOING TO TAKE AN ‘INFINITE’LY LONG TIME: My ladyfriend jokes with me how I’m telling everyone in earshot about my attempt to read Infinite Jest, the epic tome written by the late David Foster Wallace. I’m 22 pages in and have no idea what’s going on. Still, I’m going to work at it. I’ll update with my progress.

SPITZ TAKE: I spent a good part of my morning reading The Confessions of Eliot Spitzer, a lengthy interview with the ex-NY Governor. Interesting read. What’s more shocking is that I hardly think we’ve seen the last of the dude. He comes off as rather intelligent, despite his um, personal follies.

‘C’MON, REALLY GUYS?’ : I’m just as impressed with Susan Boyle’s showing on Britain’s Got Talent as everyone else is. She’s a great singer. But the media is making WAY too big of a deal about her being frumpy. Hopefully her talent, and talent alone can carry her through the competition. She hardly needs it, though, as she’s already become a star because of the YouTube clip.

TWITTIGUE: After going strong on Twitter for a couple of weeks, I’ve slowed down massively. Kind of realized I was getting lost in there for a bit. Also, following celebrities is not nearly as cool as I thought it was. Okay, except @robcorddry. Pretty much always hilarious.

UP, UP, UP, AND AWAY! Am I wrong to think that reading this AP piece about M.I.A., that when her next record drops, it’s going to be an absolute smash? Seems like the buzz surrounding her just grows and grows every time she does something.

1. I’m looking for contributors for this site. If you feel you have something interesting and thought provoking, find me on Facebook or on Twitter. We’ll chat.

2. It’s most certainly the ‘uncool’ thing to like, but I’m anticipating the inaugural episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy has yet to prove he can prevent himself from laughing through a segment of SNL – let’s see if he can do it on his own show. For all intents and purposes, he’s taking this INCREDIBLY seriously. Click here to see a vlog about a gift from Conan to Jimmy.

3. I have a few new reviews up on Static Multimedia – a look at Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach’s Keep It Hid and an absolutely terrible EP by Dublin-based Fight Like Apes. There’ also a piece I wrote about Asobi Seksu here.

4. Word is that Andy Richter is on his way to The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien starting June 1. He’ll be announcing/participating in segments. I’m really excited for this. Despite the article stating he won’t be a ‘sidekick’, I still hope he’ll be the Ed McMahon to Conan’s Johnny Carson. Yes, I just made that comparison. Deal with it.

5. Add Dick Durbin to the list of people who are calling for Roland Burris’s resignation. I’m for it. After all of this Blagojevich mess, someone needs to hit the reset button. Special elections should determine Senate seats, not Governors. We learned our lesson already.

6. After President Obama’s address to Congress tonight, Republicans responded in the form of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. It’s no secret that the GOP is trying to position this guy as a rock star. The October 2008 profile piece in Esquire Magazine is an interesting read. I don’t agree with him on his policy stances, but he’s definitely a name that will be floating around come 2012.

7. I’m totally digging Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, off the forthcoming It’s Blitz! due April 14.

8. Thumbs down to Fornello Trattoria. Bad service and stale bread. This review encapsulates it pretty well.

9. Since I’m hungry, I should mention we’re becoming huge fans of Sushi Station out here, which offers cheap (but pretty good) conveyer belt sushi. A ton of different varieties of rolls. Good stuff.

10. I’m waiting for my local library to get in the copy of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Has anyone dared to tackle it yet? I’ve bookmarked the Infinite Jest Vocabulary Glossary to prepare.
