I Dream in Colors

10/04/07 Found

Cleaning old drawers can be an interesting experience. That’s what I did yesterday. Among the guzillion things I tossed out (I clearly have a problem with letting go…), I found the following:

• 4 US Dollars, 2 brazilian Reais and 25 Uruguayan pesos.
• Several old photos of me. Around 1999-2000 I was F*@%ING THIN!!
• A reciept for a Walkman I bought for my birthday in 2000. I paid $99 for it. The exchange rate then was $1 ARG = $1 USD. Now it’s $3.10 ARG = $1 USD.
• A reciept and some bills from my first cell phone (photo 1). I remember I had to carry two batteries if I wanted to keep it running for a whole day. Not that it mattered, no one ever called me anyway.
• A photo I took in photo school, with a pinhole camera I built out of a shoe box. I tossed out a whole bunch of photos from then, but I had to keep this one. (photo 2)
• Several 1.44″ disks. I own two computers (one of them 5 years old) and none of them has a 1.44″ drive.
• The user manual for Need For Speed 1. They recommended a 90MHz computer. The Mac Mini I got recently is 40 times faster than that.
• Two old pair of glasses. Including my first pair. Way way bigger and nerdier than I remembered (nope, no photos of this).
• Two letters from one of my friends from photo school. Reading them now it was pretty obvious she was into me. But of course, being the big dork I am I didn’t realize at the time. *facepalm*.
• A “Give me coffee and no one gets hurt!” sticker. Now on my laptop. (photo 3)
