Am just too damned happy to think eviiil thoughts (actually there are none)

1. Lately, I've been peppering my sentences with 'Holy crap!'.

2. Finally met J. this afternoon. I was right, I have seen him before. Small world.

3. Gotta walk to IRRI tomorrow. Hope the cafeteria's open.

4. If what I read is right - welcome back, bro. I thought the day would never come. About fucking time.

5. If what I read is also right - there you go again, man. Don't be too hard on yourself. But yeah, we all need a break from the world every now and then.

6. I love all my friends (at least the ones I give a shit about). Really. Seriously. Nobody's excluded. If you don't believe me, kindly refer to K.'s testimonial. Even if I don't believe it sometimes.

7. If I sound annoyingly saccharine by this time, indulge me, okay? This might not last long.

8. Even if I'm yet on page 247 of The Corrections (and there are 600 in all), I will not hesitate to reread it. Atonement and The Corrections officially say sayonara to Calvino and friends.

9. Aileen and Ed are here!

10. Bow.
