Playback
If you’re looking for a trippy five minutes, have iPhoto play back the last four months of your life in random order, each photo getting no longer than three seconds on your screen.
Cut to: playing with Pano at our old apartment,

plated dishes at culinary school, white coated new cook friends, a freshly beheaded lobster’s twitchy death,

snow,

Halloween party prep,

our long Christmas drive,

more snow,

new glasses, apartment hunting in no fewer than five hundred places, Jane Krakowski as a child actor,

photos of some things we sold, some things I cooked, funny things in stores,

holiday parties, the Cracker Barrel, the Mississippi River at night, a bad milkshake,

photos of photos,

a wall I painted over,

all the holes I filled (come on, I’m talking SPACKLE),
tons of random hold-your-arm-out photos,

an apartment we almost committed to in a moment of pure insanity… Definitely looks like it’ll be ready on time, right?

and finally, our perfect new home.

It’s been a long four months, but I’m feeling pretty good.
