26

I sit before you officially 26 years of age. I sit before you eating popcorn (cooked in olive oil, lightly spiced with cumin and curry powder) and drinking wine (cheap, red).

With these notes:

*If 13-year-old me were to meet me now, I think he'd be pretty impressed and excited and hopeful for the future. My new goal is for 52-year-old me to be impressive and exciting for the current version of me.

*Modafinil is awfully tempting.

*My favorite song of the moment is Myriad Harbour, from the upcoming New Pornographers album, Challengers. The frustrating part about this is that I want to share it with everyone I know, but cannot. You must find your own way. Isn't that always the way?
