A design for life

The concept is simple (if somewhat prescriptive): here I keep track of my encounters with words, music, images (moving and otherwise) and associated pleasures, as they occur.

Things that will only be incidentally present in this chronicle: fancy writing; underlying themes; pretension; metafiction; etc.

Also: no self-examination; no personal revelations; no existential crises; no unnecessary sturm und drang; no catharsis.

Well, maybe a little catharsis, a la Aristotle.

We are, after all, writing about Art here.
