When I left for Australia my sophomore year, I left a few things in the room. One of them was a loaf of bread. My roommates, in their ever-present wisdom, decided to turn it into “surrogate Niels”, slapped a name tag on it and hung it up on the wall. When I came back 6 months later, Craig and I were retrieving our items from summer storage when he looked inside a box, grinned, and told me he had a present for me.
The next question, of course, was how long we could keep it going. (Did you know bread liquefies if you leave it long enough?) As the odor became more intense, we’d seal it inside another layer of Ziplock bags, but somehow the fumes got through all 8 or 9 bags. So we moved it into the bathroom and duct taped it to the wall. I don’t remember exactly what got us to finally throw it away, but it must have been impressively awful.

Hello! My husband and I saw you shopping at H&M today (the 30th) on Mich Ave around 6:30pm. We weren’t sure if it was you, but I guess it was. I think you probably noticed me, I was the Asian girl who kept staring at you to remember where I had seen you before. =) Your Beauty and the Geek season was great! We liked what happened at the end, making Cecille lose because she really didn’t deserve to win! Hope you have a blast in Chicago and stay warm! =D Happy New Year!
I guess Ziplock bags don’t make good time capsules, given the Second law of Thermodynamics and all…
