Rien ne Disparait Jamais Vraiment...

Over the past week or so, it's felt as if I'm getting through CDs faster. That makes sense--after all, the CDs are getting shorter. But sometimes the shift is so subtle, it's hard to really sense it. Can you "feel" the difference between 62:39 and 62:06? I can't. But getting down around the 43-minute mark changes that, and now I feel like I can see the end. It's a matter of another month or two, I think.

Which makes me both happy and sad. Happy because it means I get to start over again (unless I truly have managed to exorcise the obsessive-compulsive demons) and sad because it signals the end of something, which is always sort of sad. I haven't decided whether I want to continue this blog once I've run through the entire CD collection, or if I do, what format it will take and whether I'll continue to write about music or choose another topic.

I do know that I've become addicted to listing out what I listen to each day. There's something satisfying about that--maybe it's a way of cataloging an accomplishment, even (especially?) on those days when I accomplish little else.
