2008: mayfly
an exercise in brevity and introspection. based on the fab mayfly project:
The best brief biography I've ever heard was for a mayfly:
"Born. Eat. Shag. Die."
Because Ephemeroptera lives only for twenty-four hours, the summary of its life is refreshingly straightforward: To the point. The stuff that matters. Just the essentials. ...there's nothing quite like embracing the constraint of brevity (whether time or wordcount) when summing up the last year of your life to make you re-examine your priorities, or focus on what has affected you or was important to you over the last twelve months.

so, here's my sum of 2008 in 24 words [or peruse my lists in one place]:

valley behind. facing now.

finding home.

orange belt.

activism.

east bay!

inspiration.

change.

reading.

yardlove.

sunroom, painting.

layoffs.

tour de gay.

yes. we. can.

Obama-day!
Finally, we're here: President Obama.

Watched the historic moment in our cosy living room with Miz A, sy and the dogs. Had coffee, oatmeal and twitter on hand, tears in our eyes. Way to go, team us!

Aw yeah!
Chicken and waffles at brown sugar kitchen. Will review properly on yelp, but these were dang good, if a bit pricey. I'm still drooling over the crunchy goodness of the waffles and the steaming hot juiciness of the chicken (i added a bit of salt and hot sauce, but it was still good). Oh, and thx to miz cat for the tip!

Pisco
Crashing the expo party was semi successful. For all that we might be a sinking ship, i do love the peeps i work(ed) with. Sorry to miss the civil actions in oaktown, but glad that folks got out to rally. Sorry to hear that some folks decided to damage stuff in their own communities. Much love and respect to everyone. Goodnight!
