In the Bag: A Tell-Tale Assortment
Busy quarter. Many papers. Occasional distaters. 3am conversation on empty train platforms. Outfit posts to someday return, I promise. Until then, here’s what I had in my bag one random day. No explanation for the partially eaten fig bar…except that it was delicious. It sort of frightens me how much this post says about me.
Contents of Le Bag:
Southwestern print briefcase/messenger (thrifted, $2), glasses (guess I was wearing contact that day), Illuminations by Walter Benjamin (only one of the greatest books of essays ever), wallet from Namibia, suitcase label from some flight or another, keys, stick drive, partially eaten fig bar, Ellen Lindgren for Wisconsin State Assembly pin, Macbook Pro, phone, random buffalo buttons (??), photobooth strip with Andrea and Tabitha, “Permanent Gentleman” postcard from Namibia, pens, ever-present mason jar of iced tea.
A book, tea and an ink pen I can see you having. You must have been in a hurry, which is normal for you, could be the reason for the “1-bite” fig bar.
The book “Illuminations” is perfect for the eclectic contents.
