Today at approximately 14h40, it is a year since my arrival here. Nothing has changed, everything has changed, etcaetera, woe unto mortals for whom time does not wait.
Surprisingly enough, i’m no fatter than when i left. Unsurprisingly enough, i’m still not on any definitive path to enlightenment and/or a career.
This year’s major event: developing sufficent facial hair for a modest moustache and chin thingy.
This year’s unmajor event: depending on whether you mean a small yet significant event, or an event so insignificant as to be the absolute antithesis to a major event, in which case i’m sure i can safely say that at some point it is likely i farted in my sleep, stepped on a crack in the sidewalk, walked in a puddle, missed my train, waited in line, stayed up passed my bedtime.
Years used to be counted not from January to December, but September to June. Henceforth the year begins on August 16th. Today is the first day of the second year a.e. (after expatriation). The end draws nigh. Repent and/or get shitfaced.
Comments for “365.25” :
get shitfaced before repenting. If you do it the other way round you only feel guilty.
Happy Anniversary!
