Tsundoku Intervention
Time is/might be nigh to declare a book-buying moratorium of indeterminate length – at least until I make something resembling headway through this tidal-stack (arrived yesterday: Sartre's BEING AND NOTHINGNESS (811p) / RUSSELL: THE BASIC WRITINGS OF BERTRAND RUSSELL (745p) / nevermind that I've been picking my way through Montaigne's complete ESSAYS for the last year or two); I'm all about the tsundoku, but this shit's gettting overwhelming.
Related: dumping more than a few online reading sources – including THE ECONOMIST (I've never had to write so many emails just to get their content delivered on a regular basis; I'm throwing my arms up in the air with a hearty fuck it and excorcising "reckoned" from my vocabulary); PARIS REVIEW fell to my lack of interest awhile back. Slow it down, quiet it down, pare it down; reduce redundancy. Miss my podcasts but can't find a suitable arctic-seasonal replacement for ideal listening time (mowing the lawn).
Speaking of which, what's going on with my favorite, SLEEPWALKERS? Are they part of WIRED (another one that's going to fall; I just don't care) now? Is it a second season or is WIRED just replaying the first? Stealing the name? Not accusing anyone of anything, but I'm confused – and looking forward to a second season, though only if it's by the same team as the first; I wish I had Oz's accent but this patented midwestern lack of accent will have to suffice.
Onwards into the book-stack. The day awaits.
Listening: OF DAWN AND OF ICE – EP, by Kammarheit and Phelios; AUTOIMAGINARY, by Natural Information Society and Bitchin Bajas.
