i've made some progress, but it seems like i'm in for the night, and maybe the weekend. we'll see how i feel tomorrow.

i mentioned that this was going to come off as a periodical, because i launched the appspot site and am mirroring it here. so, the politics document is going to probably be close to 400 pages because it has a dozen essays and as many more short writing assignments in it, whereas the music journal is only going to be around 100 pages, if that.

as an aside, what about these old book reviews? am i ever going to back to these? eventually, it's just that i've been trying to prioritize finishing the music. i know - that sounds like a joke. but it's actually true, and, ranting aside, i insist i've done a lot of work on this, and that it will start to come together soon enough.

i'll concede that i'm doing too many things, but i'm not giving up on any of it, and i know where my priorities are in getting the discography finished first.

the flip side of that is obvious enough: when or if this does get done, expect me to dive into piles of books pretty quickly.

and, yes - i think this is worthwhile. i wouldn't be doing it, otherwise.
