Red Sox #20 Kevin Youkilis Gray Road Jersey T-Shirt

Alex — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:06:36 +0000

I got this shirt, my only gray Red Sox t-shirt (referencing the gray jerseys players wear on the road) only a few months before losing it, along with an entire load of laundry that I left behind at a Somerville laundromat in November 2009. I got a replacement at a Blue Jays v. Red Sox game in May 2010, but got the wrong size. On August 6, 2010, Youkilis had season-ending surgery to repair a torn muscle in his right thumb, devastating “Red Sox Nation” as well as my fantasy baseball team, the “Inglorious Goatees.” Youkilis is my favorite player.

Blue Temple Bar Dublin Ireland t-shirt

Alex — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:10:36 +0000

Purchased in Ireland, in the summer of 2007. Lost on a harried evening in November 2009. I forgot a load of laundry (including this t-shirt) at a Somerville laundromat — in one of the washers, I think. When I realized my mistake (days later) and returned to the facility, it was all gone.

iPod, with case [9191 songs]

Alex — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:00:24 +0000

On January 21, 2009, at about five pm, I slipped on an icy sidewalk in Boston. I fell hard on my right elbow. I didn’t discover until later, after I got off the CT1 bus in Cambridge, that my ipod mp3 player was missing. I still had the headphones. It must have slipped out of my pocket when I fell.

The Decalogue: Disc 2, Fims IV-VII Netflix DVD

Alex — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:00:59 +0000

Sometime during the summer of 2006 I lost the second disc of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s The Decalogue — films Four (“Honour thy father and thy mother”), Five (“Thou shalt not kill”) and Six (“Thou shalt not commit adultery”); each of the hour-long films explores one of the Ten Commandments. I never found the wayward disc, and eventually reported it missing September 26, 2006.

Canon Li-ion Battery Pack BP-511

Alex — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:00:20 +0000

Borrowed, misplaced… and it never resurfaced: Probably June 2008, replacement purchased: August 2008.

Gap polo shirt (bright blue, with white stripes)

Alex — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:00:55 +0000

Dropped along the cliff walk pathways of seaside Howth, Ireland on July 22, 2007.

Sony a/v cord, with connector

Alex — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:00:05 +0000

Misplaced: November 2007, replaced: December fifth, 2007, & then found: December ninth, 2007. As it turns out, all I really needed was a memory card reader.
