But even for those shows that I can abide, or am willing to watch, I don’t have much of an attention span. My mode of composition, at least with this diary (which is connected to my life in such a direct way that it cannot be easily compartmentalized, or switched off), is that I’m engaged with it whenever I’m not doing something else, and, even when I am doing something else, I’m vaguely aware of it, so that my subconscious is working on it always.
