Just curious, can anyone guess which was my \u003Cb>real\u003C/b> senior year photo? \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/yearbook1-1a4fb38d56.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/yearbook2-59ca33ba7f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nSo then I had to dig up an older yearbook, and scanned this picture. I was wearing one of those ubiquitous-at-the-time rainbow shirts that go from arm to arm.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/biopic1-74370fc206.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/biopic3-e7c8bff6d3.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd I also found my old press card from \u003Ca href=\"http://www.themoscowtimes.com\">The Moscow Times\u003C/a>. You can tell my diet was a little bleak at the time.\\r\n\\r\nOkay, now I'm mostly done being vain for now. Go have a look at all these great comics we're getting in for the SCBWI \u003Ca href=\"http://community.livejournal.com/scbwi/tag/comixtravaganza\">Comixtravaganza\u003C/a>! \\r\n\\r\nThere's going to be a amazing \u003Cb>studio aka\u003C/b> retrospective screening at the National Film Theatre on Sunday, including the incredible \u003Ci>\u003Cb>Varmints\u003C/b>\u003C/i> animation. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.onedotzero.com/programme.php?id=271&event=31182\">Details here.\u003C/a> I SO wish I could go, but I've already booked tickets for \u003Ca href=\"http://www.paulgravett.com/comica/comica08/comica08.htm\">Comica\u003C/a>, which is also sure to be good.\\r\n\\r\nQuestion: \u003Cb> Does anyone want a spare ticket to the talk by Dave McKean at the ICA this Sunday at 2pm?\u003C/b> Stuart can't go now and it cost me £6, but I'll sell it for a fiver. You'd have to meet me at the box office to collect it. \u003Ci>Edit: Ticket taken, thanks!\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nOne more vain thing, don't forget to book a ticket for the Comica panel I'm doing with DFC colleagues Gary Northfield, Adam Brockbank, John and Patrice Aggs on Sunday, 23 Nov. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.paulgravett.com/comica/comica08/comica08.htm\">Details here!\u003C/a>","2008-11-12T21:22:00.000Z","sheer-vanity",[],"sheer vanity",1776628723893]
