anniversaries
Jun. 7th, 2005 10:16 amThis month is:
10 years since I should have graduated from university, and instead failed nearly all my lab courses and barely scraped through my honours thesis and got an internship at a national magazine and then sat around and did nothing for 6 months until my parents got fed up and told me to get a job.
20 years since we left Kenya.
I don't know what I was doing 30 years ago. Probably nothing that exciting. I didn't fall off the balcony onto my head until I was 3, so it wasn't that.
Still, it's making me feel as though weird portentous things ought to be happening. Or not -- I could probably come up with equally significant anniversaries for just about anything.

Jun. 7th, 2005 01:58 pmForgot to take my steroid inhaler this morning. Any day now, they're going to come and take away my grown-up papers.
I am #1370 of 1631 holds for Blink: the power of thinking without thinking by Malcolm Gladwell.
That's a lot of holds.
The library has 247 copies, though, so assuming about 100 of those are no-holds-allowed copies I should probably hit the top of the list in, oh, 7 months or so.
Has anyone read it?
