ps. i’ll send you the decemberists’ music in the a.m.

1) I did not own any kitchen knives (now I do)
2) I was cooking bad omeletes (now I have been living off sandwiches and pre-fabricated tomato soup since the grocery stores re-opened after Christmas)
3) I was reading Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad (now I am reading Margaret Atwood’s Moral Disorder)
4) I was planning to attend Claire’s New Years party (now I am planning to attend Antonia’s)
5) I was still living in library court (now I am living in a much nicer spot in North Oxford)
