quite recently it was 26/4/10. i had to write the date down a few times that day. and half the time i did it i wrote 26/10/4. i have no idea why i kept getting it wrong, but it led me to thinking maybe that date had some psychic significance.
so, what was i doing on Oct 26, 2004... well my friends twins were born on sept 21, so they would have been just coming home from the hospital - they were premmie... I might have been just getting my arm out of plaster, i had broken it at karate b4 the twins were born. my partner was less then three weeks away from giving birth, which probably means we were at the hospital, at least sometime within a week we would have been at any rate. we spent a lot of time there. work was boring, but there were a few layoffs about a month later, not me. there was a huge thing going on which i won't talk about, but i don't recall anything specific about it happening that day.
so the long and short of it is, i don't know. when we look back in our lives do we ever remember what happened on a specific random day? i know we remember the big things, but if you had to pick a random day of the year 6 years ago, what do you remember???

ReplyDelete6 years ago today - conscious recollection, none. I would have said I was doing nothing interesting at the time, but a bit more thought suggest I would have been doing my Masters and wearing 3 hats.
I didn't start using outlook's calendar til after that, but the 2004 GG calendar would narrow down recent events (and I just realised I can look a defunct website up on the wayback machine and see the calendar i put online then, very similar to this year really). And what do you know, I actually have a livejournal post from that date: http://aquila1nz.livejournal.com/2004/04/30/
So 6 years ago I was cleaning up dead mouse. so glad I know that. And six years from now Google will have twitter searching down to a fine art, we'll be able to look back at today and go "what the frak did those cryptic @ tweets mean?"
