I am obsessed with charts. Any plotting of multiple sources of data over time is undeniably blissful to me and therefore overwhelms all other thoughts. The more trivial the topic - the MORE I AM OBSESSED. As if the triviality of it all is what makes it something I would have not yet thought of and therefore gains purpose at that very moment since its purpose above all others is now for my own quest for knowledge. CASE IN POINT:
the ins and outs of movie box office is really just a reflection of the actual focus of our culture, rather than the pompous ideals we document for future generations to judge (and makes an amazingly beautiful chart).
