136. May 16, 2010

I read this book today,
It was really good, I liked it a lot
"You can’t exist in this world without leaving a piece
of yourself behind. There are concrete paths, like credit
card receipts and appointment calendars and promises
you’ve made to others. There are microscopic clues,
like fingerprints, that stay invisible unless you know how
to look for them. But even in the absence of any of this,
there’s scent. We live in a cloud that moves with us
as we check e-mail and jog and make love and carpool. The
whole time, we shed skin – 40,000 cells per minute, on
rafts that rise on a current up our legs and under our
chins. In the air or on the ground, bacteria attack,
creating vapor trails."
