addendum

okay so one of the points i meant to make yesterday is when you carry that living, growing list thing around for a few days it can become a part of your existence and then it's sort of difficult to get rid of it and i guess that's why people carry notebooks. but i have tried a notebook at work and after a while it's simply annoying to have all those pages of scratched-out "done" stuff weighing the apparatus down.

not to say it isn't cool to have a to-done list. my old man and i made a list a couple weeks ago, on a saturday, and it was ambitious but we completed every single thing on the list and so now that list is sort of just hanging around the kitchen counter and the desk and back & forth because how can you throw out such a treasure as the completely completed list? it's like a trophy of a well-spent saturday.
