Obsessing is not good

I have never been quite obsessive about many things.  But for some reason, I’ve been watching endless interviews with Tom Twyker and the Wachowskis for Cloud Atlas.  I don’t know why I am so obsessive either, which is partly bothering me.  For example, I have been checking its rating on imdb every few hours, trying to see if it is going up or down, which is pretty useless because it’s not even released yet (although almost 3000 users have voted so far).  I have been listening constantly to the soundtrack — or rather, the few pieces available on youtube.  Today, I saw someone reading the novel and I wanted to ambush her and talk about the notion of reincarnation, destiny, fate, and all these big ideas and to start a philosophical conversation, but alas.

In other news, I’ve started reading Watership Down, which is fantastic so far.  Maybe I’ll start obsessing about that soon.
