Oooh! The banig is so pretty!

Posted on April 17th, 2007 by Sacha Chua

My mom sent me a woven mat. It’s so pretty! I’ve set it up by the side
of my room. If I put a few cushions beside it and the drawers, then
people might be inclined to sit there. The cushions I have right now
are a little too big, but something small and black would do nicely.

I’ve written a thank-you note to the people who mailed it to me, and
will drop it off in the mailbox on the way out. Yay!

Random Emacs symbol: cd-path – Variable: Value of the CDPATH environment variable, as a list.
