spent the morning mucking about with blutac, putting up photos on my wall after tearing down all my embarrasing teenage posters of pop stars and tennis players. my wall is in a nasty state, with tape and blutac and miscellaneous sticky stuff that won't come off after all these years, and yellow stains around the edges of posters. i don't know why i have a large poster of michael stich behind my door. i'll replace it with my swan lake poster when that comes home, of course, but i don't expect any of my boxes till the end of july. rupert brooke is of course at the centre of everything, along with addy's ffmc drawing, also nohrnberg photo, course action form with his signature on, and the usual bunch of photos of everyone - joel and i sitting on a wall at columbia, poach and i grinning happily at links in philly, von making cupcakes at su-lin's... and i have uva photos on my wall for the first time - the cherry tree outside maupin (spring), the trees outside of gooch (fall), the snowy slope in front of lile, and a photo of one of the pavillions which i'm sure wasn't taken in the summer but i'm pretending it is. put up photos of michelle in our old room, of a bunch of maupin girls, and i found a goofy one of denis ferhatovic with his famed oedipus-like monkey balancing on his head, that i put up between poach-and-minz-grinning and joel-smugly-seizing-addy-and-minz. i even found one of denis and me lying on our backs on the top step of the rotunda trying to see the "river" in the sky. teehee. maybe i should send it to him.

after all this time i realise what i keep meaning to but forgot to do - get a picture of the dogwood behind ex-miller hall. i'll have to come back for it.

and i haven't got a photo of bob reeder. should have sniped one at graduation or something.
