Forty-Eight Birthday Drawings. 48 is a very special number in my mind: the number of preludes and fugues in the two books of JSB's Well-Tempered Clavier May there be another set of 48 in 48 years!

Notelets for 2005.06.10
I want to read The Next Sweet Thing to better understand the increasing interest in high-end chocolate that I see in myself and my friends.
I missed the Berkeley Edge festival but have some interest in learning more about Terry Riley, especially since I once saw his name associated with J. S. Bach.

As I'm about to move in the next month or two, I'm wondering whether to use a service like Door To Door or instead to rent a moving van. Any thoughts?

The Onion is now available on the newsstand!

Photos for the expert to take
I'm in the process of renewing my Canadian passport. I thought that I'd be able to take my own passport photos, but the requirements made it rather onerous.

rain and pictures
Yesterday, during my walk to campus, I had the opportunity to celebrate the after-rain environment by taking a lot of pictures:

China Illustrated — a new book at Moffitt Library
China Illustrated is a book I'm interested in more closely examing. It was checked out the last I looked (see melvyl for the University of California system.)
