Names Amnesia

January 9th, 2007

I walked out of my Discrete Structures class today and while struggling to get into my coat, literally bumped into one of my former classmates.
She called me by name and said, ‘Hi!’
Oops, I’d forgotten never known her name! When someone’s all gushes and happy to see you for some reason, you’d better know their name.
She’s [...]

The Calls

December 25th, 2006

I had two important calls yesterday.

Staunching

November 20th, 2006

Very few people know I’m a gourmet — even fewer know I’m a gourmand.

I took some to my friends — Fatou [...]
