In anticipation of a possible trip to Paris in October, I began the process of getting a passport. But first, since Harvard is changing their ID cards so that they no longer indicate your affiliation (staff, student, officer), Brad and I went out at lunch to get our new photos taken (but not after, I’m embarrassed to say, I practiced different facial expressions in the bathroom at my office for a few minutes).<\/P>

The results? I look like a murderer.<\/P>

OK – stupidly thinking that taking a passport photo just a few minutes later would somehow make me look more magically delicious, Brad and I walked to the post office where a friendly man withdrew his Polaroid Instamatic and proceeding to blind me with the flash. Minutes later, a photo of a hunchbacked terrorist appeared. It took me a few minutes to realize “Wait, that’s me!”<\/P>
\n

So, here you go…a progression of photos taken over the last month. First, my new Driver’s License (not too bad). Then, my new Harvard ID (I look like a sun-burned pyschopath), and finally, the passport photo (didn’t my Mom ever tell me to sit up straight? And what about those bug-eyes? I look like I’m falling in love with the photographer).<\/P>

Ugh.. I was tempted to ask for new passport photos…but they charge $15 and it wasn’t worth it. I guess it shouldn’t really matter. I mean, it’s not like anybody local is going to be seeing my passport. Of course, I probably should have thought of that before posting it on the world wide web, huh?<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
