it dawned on me this weekend how very different my life is now from how i thought it’d be last year at this time. it was a jam-packed few months. behold, seven things that were going on at this time last year:

1. my grandfather had just lost his home in the san diego fires
2. i’d just gotten a job offer from mckinsey
3. i was in the throes of building a mechatronic penny arcade game
4. i had just joined buxfer
5. i was listening to deas vail’s album “all the houses look the same” pretty much on repeat
6. i played guitar hero II religiously
7. it was the last week of our CSA delivery…

frivolous mixed in with the not-so-frivolous. i get emotional thinking about my grandfather’s house still, and in some ways i can’t believe it was only a year ago. it seems like so much has happened since then. and i can’t believe a year ago i thought i was really going to be working at mckinsey. not that it would have been a bad thing, it’s just that what i’m doing now is so different from what i was going to be doing there. looking at my interests and habits from a year ago, i guess i’ve changed a bit. what a difference a year makes.
