I keep thinking that I want less clutter less stuff less space, but then I can’t resist the college dorm room look of stuff taped on the walls everywhere. Above my desk at home is a small corkboard where I’ve tried to corral those impulses. Of course it’s full.<\/p>\n
What’s there? Glad you asked! From the top:<\/p>\n
– Handmade gift certificate for a $50 donation to Cashmusic.org<\/a> from Jonathan from a couple of Xmases ago.<\/p>\n – Index card, a bit brown around the edges, with a note on it (in faded ink) that Jonathan put in my lunchbox the day I defended my dissertation, which reads “I am very proud of you!”<\/p>\n – Keychain with Gus’s first ever school picture in it. He was almost 3 yrs old and I’ve always been amazed that they were able to get him to smile. The keychain is cheesy, but it came free as part of the photo package.<\/p>\n – Half-used sheet of photobooth stickers of Jonathan and Gus (age 1.5 or so) from the not-very-mall-like mall<\/a>. Gus is not smiling, but Jonathan is.<\/p>\n – “We are all Wisconsin” sticker from the faculty union I belong to from earlier this year.<\/p>\n – “Proud to be Shelfish” button from donating to the public library a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n – Fortune cookie fortune: “Knowledge is power.” It’s recent and from what I recall the food wasn’t all that good, and I’m not sure I believe it anyway.<\/p>\n – Note from Gus that festooned a birthday present<\/a> of mine last year: “Magician gave this to you!! Don’t ask.”<\/p>\n – My ALA (American Library Association) membership card, because sometimes you need your member # to login to the website.<\/p>\n – Picture of Gus (maybe about 2?) taken with the Hello Kitty Polaroid Izone camera I used to have. It’s a sticker, too!<\/p>\n – NYPL library card, backside visible so I can see the barcode # in case I want to login to their databases.<\/p>\n – Business card (vertical orientation) for the CUNY Academic Commons<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Business card (horizontal orientation) for Mud Flap Grrrl Designs, from which Jonathan bought me some rad embroidered handkerchiefs a couple of Xmases ago.<\/p>\n – My Inbox Zero<\/a> Nerd Merit Badge. Still a challenging feat!<\/p>\n – Classic 4-photo black and white photobooth strip of me + Jonathan making silly faces.<\/p>\n – Poem that Gus wrote in 2nd grade<\/a>.<\/p>\n – ID card from when I was an adjunct at Brooklyn College. The picture is so much better than on my current City Tech ID, wish I could have kept it.<\/p>\n – Gus’s extra passport photo from when we had to get him a passport to go to London.<\/p>\n
![EFF Fair Use sticker<\/a> that was on my old phone.
