Notes: Aged One Year

The fraying, curling edges give it character, and in a way I'm sad that it's filling up.

A tattered notebook.My notebook is just over one year old today, and it isn't aging well. It's begun to tatter and separate in the important places. The binding has decayed several times over and been replaced by several different types of tape. It began with small strips of clear tape, and has graduated iteratively to wide swathes of masking tape, which seem to be working much better.

The fraying, curling edges give it character, and in a way I'm sad that it's filling up. Soon I'll start again with a carbon-copy of the boring, clean, crisp original (I bought two when I started; together they cost $1).

Thankfully I haven't lost it in all that time. The mere thought has given me bad dreams.
