Like most of you, I, too, take time out of my busy busy life to stop and appreciate a movie, a book, or even the occasional deafness-inducing, sweaty-people-packed rock concert. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep track of all of these films, novels, and events just by pure rote memory alone, which is why I have enlisted the help of this particular page on the site to do all the ‘remembering’ for me.
As such, below you’ll find a regularly-updated triple-list collating my encounters with the aforementioned media. And while it admittedly serves no practical use whatsoever, it sure is nice to watch it gradually grow in size, not unlike the lint in one’s bellybutton over time.
