I took that approach in undergrad but gradually re-expanded and pared down again.

This means you're getting smarter, and possibly older. If you're lucky, those things go together hand in hand.

Mr Alyk loves The Fall, but I've never really understood why. It's one of those bands that everyone claims to love, but I'm convinced they couldn't name a song title if you asked them. Kind of like, everyone in high school owned Horses by Patti Smith, but never listened to it once. They just have it because you're supposed to.

I have many theories, clearly.
