i feel good today--got my books all organized and put away. i'm getting rid of some, and will probably weed out some more in the not too distant future. one weird side effect of going through my books is that i start getting anxious about having too many, and that extends to the rest of my stuff. i have the urge to cull...but i don't have time for that right now, so it will have to wait. for now, it just feels really good to know exactly what's on my shelves and where. so when i do my exams (less than 4 weeks now) i won't have to waste time searching...
yesterday i talked to my friend roger for the first time in over a year. i was thinking about him after bowling saturday night (bowling is his thing) so i decided to call him up. it's funny--i always call him out of the blue, at some weird time of day (sometimes even at 2:30am) and he always says hi as if he's not the least bit surprised to hear from me. after maybe 5 minutes it's like no time has passed at all. anyway, he got married not too long ago, to a woman he introduced me to the last time i was in michigan. she's really cool--and he's really lucky. ;-) today he called me up to tell me about a novel he's thinking about writing, and asked if i wanted to collaborate on it with him. i think i'm going to do it--it'll be something fun to work on here and there while i'm writing my dissertation. we're going to meet up to talk about it more when i'm in michigan for christmas. i'm looking forward to seeing him again. he's one of 3 people i've been friends with since 6th grade...which means he's known me since before i hit puberty. how weird is that?
