yet another pad

this morning, before a meeting, i found myself looking for my notepad. when i did find it, underneath a stack of papers, i saw that i had just one more sheet left. i looked at it in amazement. when did i already finish yet another pad of paper!? i flipped through it in the hope that i would see many blank pages which i could still use, but was left crestfallen. you see, i've begun to mark my life here by my notepads. and as i fill each one with copious amounts of information and reminders, my departure draws that much closer. it'll be quite interesting at the end, when i flip back through all my spent pages and see what i've done; what i finished and accomplished; what was left incomplete; the reminders that i left for my future self...and if i actually listened to myself then (oh no he di'nt! he did not just pull out the analogy?! notepads = stages of life - such cliché ;) )

it's hailing and raining outside - it's the kind of day that makes me just want to curl up with a book and chai...and read.

i acquired a new couch yesterday for my room (so pops you have something to sleep on :) ). well, it's not actually new...it was in kent's room for a while, but it sure is comfortable.
