day one hundred seventy.

today all the library interns took a tour of the archives and library at the national museum of american history. i bumped my elbow on a box of duke ellington's master recordings, then past an aisle of boxed ephemera labeled:

warshaw collection: whiskey-zoology

i need to develop some weird research interests so i have a reason to devote mass quantities of time to scour and scour.
they have things like every script from m*a*s*h, ella fitzgerald's american express card and personal correspondence, and tons of advertising, film, and photography collections. pop culture paradise.

my co-worker scott and i, along with fellow library schoolers jeremy and jessica, wandered around one area of the actual museum once we were finished with the behind-the-scenes events.

this last one reminded me of how fascinated i was by the overlays in my mom's anatomy dictionaries as a kid. circulatory, muscular, nervous, skeletal- vital systems disappearing and reappearing, layered back and forth.
