Just realized today that it's really only a matter of a week or two before I get to the end of the list. Maybe less than that. And that it'll feel weird once it's over. It's been hard sometimes to blog every day, but I'm sure I'll miss it. There were times when it felt like having a second job, but it often helped get me out of bed in the morning. I felt a responsibility to it, even though I couldn't be sure how many people were reading it. I'm still not sure.

In any case, I've been thinking about what I want to do with this blog space after I get to the end of the CD list. Not sure if I want to continue writing about music in some way here or just leave this blog be, as a kind of monument to nine months' hard labor. The thing is, despite my original intentions, I'm under no illusions--I know now that writing this blog hasn't exorcised any demons whatsoever. I'm sure I'll resume listening to my CDs in order of total time soon enough. The list will flip over, incorporating all the new arrivals, and the whole process will begin again, where it started, at 79 minutes and 54 seconds.
