Old boy8 o'clock, February 23, 2005Aside from one C on an unsuccessful experiment with an alternative essay structure, I mostly wrote A-quality papers for my high school English classes. The actual grades,, though, were often Ds, since I usually couldn’t be bothered to turn the papers in till two or three weeks after the due date. All of which is to say that I’ve already anticipated all of your calumnies, and I am unmoved. Still, I do need to get back to doing my job. So tomorrow look for The First Year of the Reign of Ur-Nungal (2574 BC). (In the mean time, go interrogate some boundaries or something.) And speaking of high school, my alma mater seems to have decided that my literary accomplishments are worth a write-up in the quarterly alumni magazine, with accompanying photograph. Not having an accompanying photograph, I talked Lara into coming out this weekend and taking a few Snicketesque snapshots. So if any of you didn’t already know what I look like, now you do. (You can even pretend I dress that way all the time, if you like.) |

Agreed, very nice photos. You look somewhat frightening (as in, bad-ass) in those pics. |

Truman Capote lives! I like the first one. Seems the most mysterious. |
|
I'd like to see Dave stir up the alumni by going the other Capote route. "Such a bright boy, but with all those D papers, we always knew he'd end up as one of those dissolute artist types." |

These pictures look like the kind of man who, with the flick of a cigar, can order his underlings to torture and dismember his enemies, without a thought to the price. |

Yeah, I get brought to this guy, he offers me tea, I start peeing my pants. Especially third one from the top. |

Nice shots! |

Thanks! I figured it wasn’t fair to everyone to keep using that Hokkaido camping trip picture. |

I read this posting a week or two ago, but somehow I missed noticing the general usefulness of the phrase "I’ve already anticipated all of your calumnies, and I am unmoved." I may adopt that as a .sig—or, better, add it to the end of every journal posting from now on. |

All yours. :) |
Very literary photographs indeed!
Wait, you don't dress that way all the time?
