be willing to make sacrifices

i write a lot of notes to myself in a myraid of notebooks/scraps of paper/backs of receipts and bankslips.

you know the drill.

i came across a sketch book that has been waltzing in and out of my life for almost 3 years now. the first time it left, it somehow migrated home with a coworker, only to return a year and a half later (or so i'm guessing the length because of a dated scribble in there). i'd misplaced it for a few months after that, but last night i found it and flipped through it. apparently i had jotted some notes down (and i remember doing this) when tracey pollan's dad was on the today show talking about his book second something....second...act? chance? it seemed like good stuff at the time, although i'm generally leary of all things in the self-help aisle.

but i think the timing was good. if for no other reason that one of the scribbles reads:

"Be willing to make sacrifices"

it's about 98% sure that i will be moving to anacostia.

which is kind of a sacrifice. not living by myself is kind of a sacrifice, but that house and having ryan n. as a housemate are not sacrifices.

beauty bill band practice might be, but i like them. i'll just have to hide my cookware.

oh, chris kim...that joke's for you.
