Seen/Read/Heard
Modeled after Steven Soderbergh's annual "Seen/Read" diaries, this is an attempt to catalogue the whole of my media consumption, day to day. Why? I dunno. Curiosity and record-keeping, I guess, plus accountability—a little space to keep myself honest about what I've been paying attention to. The only rule is nothing half-consumed, nothing skimmed—only that which I've sat with in full.
