It is a well-documented bit of lore that David Foster Wallace, prior to his suicide, spent the day eating KFC, watching the first three Die Hard movies, and re-reading the Harry Potter series with the giddyness of a child. Afterwards, he and Franzen met up in Manhattan where they took turns photographing black postal workers sorting mail, correcting usage errors in the New York Post, and eating gyros while walking along the east river. Then he returned home, wrote 'Everything is fine' in his diary, and hanged himself.

seeing pictures of dead bodies is always weird, especially when pictures/videos of the person being alive exists, it leaves me with this unsettling feeling that stems from knowing that one day i'll be in the same state as these people, despite having also been in the previous state of being alive and well
