i've moved into my new chicago apartment. everything's unpacked and neatly stacked on the floor or kitchen table. and so while there's some furniture acquisitions to be made soon, i'm pretty much as settled in as i can be now.
i've got a few boxes that i really have no idea what's in them and just keep lugging them around with me. turns out most of the contents were undergraduate and graduate notebooks and folders. but there were a few interesting finds:
a harper's magazine crossword from February 1986 that i "solved" as part of a paper on henry miller's tropic of cancer i wrote in graduate school. the hint for the puzzle reads, "the diagram, when filled in, will contain a quotation from a published work" so i couldn't resist just writing in one of his.
left: my freshman year high school photo which was reused for use in the local newspaper article "students put leadership and spirit to work at york" for the 1997 citizenship award winners - 1 male and 1 female from each grade.
right: my senior year high school photo which was reused for use in the "the new student record" of the university of southern california as a way for incoming college freshman to "introduce" themselves to one another. despite this winning portrait, i did not make many friends my first year at usc.
a photo i took at some red carpet-y event in los angeles of brad pitt and jennifer aniston. i found this labeled in my own handwriting with "happier times."
in the paper again. only this time photographed randomly by the sf weekly at a bar i'd only been to that night. hopefully my contempt for being interrupted can be detected by the expression of mock-excitement.
there were some other gems: letters to my father never sent, my diplomas, and AP scores for calculus, english, and chemistry. those seemed less fun to scan.
