A few days ago I had a post which included comments from some blogger-obsessives. They’re not a patch on this guy:
For twenty years, Robert Shields of Dayton, Washington, has kept a written record of absolutely everything that has happened to him, day and night. For no less than four hours each day, Shields holes himself up in the small office in his home, turns on his stereo, and types. His diary, at 35 million words, is believed to be the world’s longest.
Follow the link, and you’ll find another to a page from Shields’ diary, with entries such as ‘I had a conversation with Heidi’ and ‘I let out my water tank’. There’s more here:
In his diary, Robert Shields records everything he eats. He records his blood pressure and pulse at various times during the day, the temperature outside and in, every conversation he has, every piece of junk mail he receives. He sleeps no more than two hours at a time so that he can record his dreams.
As Shields himself explains, ‘every five minutes is accounted for’. (Thanks: Damian.)
