When I was a postdoc, I jotted every fresh thought on a three-by-five card and kept them in a card catalogue.
History is only a catalogue of the forgotten.
I thought Out of Action was better as a catalogue than the honeycomb because the honeycomb was like walking into one compartment and then another compartment.
I want to keep my life as unfettered as possible. So maybe I'll just pretend to get rare books from my catalogue, and not really get them.
You get kind of bored being in catalogues all the time.
