We all obsess. Religion, philosophy, Harry Potter, vampires, beer, tv shows, fashion, music, books, words, favorite foods, language, politics, technology, iPhones, webcomics, sports…

My obsessions these days involve the Republican Party (it’s that time of year, CPAC takes over my brain!), writing (2011 will be the year of MFA applications, by the way), and music (has this ever really changed?).

I’m having a hard time focusing on any one of them at any given time, and so I’d love to start a conversation about the philosophy of infatuation.

What are your obsessions right now? How are you expressing them? How do you focus?
