Coetzee

Limited closet space

To my surprise I won last night almost 50 dollars with poker. (I’m not sure if this is a good sign.)
When I returned home around 2 in the morning I stumbled upon two white flip-flops while looking for a book – I had bought the flip-flops in the summer of 2006 and I had forgotten about their existence.
The advantages of limited closet space consist mainly of your possessions becoming a surprise to you. (The disadvantages are obvious: you buy too many things twice.)
Today I decided to wear my white flip-flops – there is nothing better than Saturdays in New York during summertime.
Over lunch I read an excerpt of Coetzee’s new novel. I would argue that this is a beautiful day.
