Artistic Consumption Log, March 19, 2012 - March 25, 2012

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—Apparently seeing six films in one day—as I did on Saturday—was enough to sap me of, well, energy in general. (I'm sure the mere five hours of sleep I got on Saturday night didn't help.) Thus, another week, another bare-bones artistic consumption log (and a late one at that). Plus, I've been quite the busy, busy bee over the past week, and I'm anticipating this coming week to be about as bursting with activity—not just artistically, but as far as my career hopes goes. And that is all I will say for the moment.
