day in the life: winter solstice

Oddly enough I forgot to take photos of all the interesting or photogenic things, yesterday, for the Day in the Life project. I didn’t photograph hitting the alarm clock, dragging myself out of bed, showing the guy who came to assess the […]

note

Here’s a great answer to the perennial “Where are the women bloggers” question (the ironic version posted earlier is even better, but this one spells it out which obviously needed to be done) and I also need to remember to think about […]

a day in the life

Tomorrow is the winter solstice. I’m marking the day by participating in A Day in the Life at Flickr. That’s the group for doing it, here’s a supershort explanation in case the group’s too much information to process. How are you celebrating?
