personal archiving

Last time I stayed in on a Saturday night, I thought back to my summer and realized how totally amazing it was and suddenly became obsessed with remembering the whole thing. So I went back using my agenda and facebook and text messages and tried to figure out what I did every day-night of the summer. These are the fruits of my labour, becuse I feel now like summer is over, even though it is still warm, I am just tuckered out and into spending nights in.

Why I am posting a breakdown of my life on the internet is beyond me, maybe it's a project in accountability and transparency and seeing if it's really true that people won't hire you if they google you and find trash or like, a picture of you holding a gun and a cocktail.

It starts as early as I can remember and ends, well, now I guess, which is maybe me ceremoniously saying that my summer is over, I am resigned, it is raining, I am inside.

Is there any particular point to such a project? It was pretty fun, in a self-indulgent and fastidious sort of way.
