Slipped My Mind

I am forgetful lately.

Forgot our submission to the Applied Arts Magazine Student Awards Issue, a not insignificant 24"x18" white cardboard box that I was supposed to FedEx. I left it at school the first time and had to phone a classmate and two roommates to finally retrieve it. Then again on my way to Kinkos/FedEx my left arm felt kind of light and I realized the box was still at home despite placing it on my shoes by the door.

Forgot my gloves riding around looking for 1/8" HDPE and specialty spray paints. Checked my bag just before returning to school and there they were.

Forgot two meetings with faculty (the Grad website) and staff (stats for the student magazine on institute web use).

Forgot to pee. I went to the washroom during a break in our Ergonomics midterm study session and returned with my hands and face washed yet somehow still not relieved.

Forgot something Emilie told me, something about something she told me a couple days ago.

Forgot to change out of my work pants at school.

Forgot I had my own honey after using Hamza's for three days.


And that was just today. If you remember something I've forgotten, let me know.

Man that's awesome that you went to the washroom and just participated in the post urinary ritual.

Heard something about a tripod?
Was it true?

Anyway, I hope you're taking care
of yourself. This post makes me think of
a period in my life when I had so
much in my head all the time, that some
recent things suddenly just started
dissapearing from memory, much like
things seem to do for you now.

Bevaaare!Beeeeevare!
