it may as well be raining

I am a big proponent of delayed gratification. Because of this, I tend to invest in things to save For a Rainy Day. Unfortunately, I often forget I have them and buy another when it's actually raining. This makes for a lot of extra stuff in my closet.

Take this lovely address book carefully saved in the original bag.





I bought it in Barcelona when I was studying abroad. I was impressed that a reknown architect could make buildings without using math. Gaudí, my hero! My rationale for not filling it out right away was that nearly everyone I knew was graduating and moving around all over the place. I was going to wait until people were more stable in their addresses so as not to mar the beautiful pages by crossing/white-ing out entries.

Guess what? It's eight years later and my friends are STILL moving all over the place.

Ale, be sure to give me your new address; I'll send you postcards from suburbia. You know, just in case you forget what it's like out in the middle of the United States.
