post-it dump


i once had a wise teacher who told us he would have a "planner dump" every six weeks. he'd transfer all the notes, quotes, and things worth remembering into some place a little more permanent.

well, i feel like i've got something sorta similar going on with these scattered scribbles. it's been like...umm like 20 months comin. ha. we'll talk again in just shy of two years, i guess.
