Day 365: Happy Effing New Year

Every time I have tried to orchestrate something beyond “go to work and then get misty-eyed in the car later when the clock turns midnight and you’re on your way home to an empty apartment/house,” it has failed with such spectacularity that I’m sure some day I will be able to laugh about my foolishness over this manufactured night of revelry.

Day 364: Intermission

Got a late start to Chicago Wednesday night Thursday morning. Late as in 4 a.m. Meaning this photo is only technically my Day 364 because I hadn’t yet been to sleep. [Project 365]

Day 355: Witchcraft

I know some ladies who can spin amazing shit from damn near nothingness. Somehow this managed to be the only photo I took Monday, and I took it with a camera phone. First camera phone pic for my 2009 Project 365, 355 days in. I’m actually proud of myself for holding out as long as I did. NOW I BETTER GET MY ASS BACK IN GEAR. [Project 365]
