and as the year speeds to a close i speed towards the present. at some moment which i cant pinpoint (saturday night? sunday morning?) i seem to have separated from the normal flow of events and, having been back to the time described in my previous post, am catching up with my own shadow. today there has been some kind of parables for paranoids type of scenario involving me and my study plan. maybe by the time i get back in the office i will be in the far future. i will tell you what it is like. i predict everyone will have blackberries.
