Baseball, boxing, handball – sooner or later every game gets compared to narrative, but only in football are the plays perfectly linear, drawn up with letters, and only in football is the field itself lined like a sheet of notebook paper.

The sooner we learn to be jointly responsible, the easier the sailing will be.

My to-do list is the only form of organization I have, other than my iCal. It’s not all work stuff; it’s a lot of movies that I want to watch sooner rather than later. I have a list that’s like, ‘Read an essay from this book, then this one, then go back to this one.’
