i had a nice chat with sook-yin lee yesterday, which will be broadcast on dnto on saturday afternoon at around 1:45. we talked about prized possessions, and i mentioned the small crocheted sheep that justin gave me when we were courting. and that i subsequently had tattooed on my right arm. because i’m so freaking tough. here is a picture of the tattoo when it was pretty fresh, from 2001.
