Postcard offerings to the gods of anticipation

With each of my grad school applications, I included a postcard for the department to mail back to me, letting me know they'd received it. Each letter of recommendation had a postcard tucked inside, as well. The cards were a cute, if slightly disturbing, matching set by Yoshitomo Nara, and I handwrote each one with my lucky Google pen from Vienna.

The last postcard just arrived, and I now have a little shrine in my kitchen window.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
