Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat looks very like a mother in her recent pictures. I don't know how to be more eloquent about that, but she's projecting some sort of calm and protectiveness and familial strength.

That clearly comes across.

Me? My photos clearly show me standing in front of curtains.

I have no idea what photo today will bring. I look at some people's 300 pics and marvel.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I made the decision early on to take all my 365 pics with the camera phone so I wouldn't feel pressured to make them good. I think it's working out so far.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got back from Restoration Hardware, where we spent a Christmas gift certificate. We got these: [link]

Yes, $65 bookends. Way too much, but they are totally gorgeous and it was a gift cert, so we thought we should get something we'd NEVER buy ourselves. Plus, they should last forever.

Now to finish unpacking the office, since we have a way to keep the books on the shelves.

Our wings are not tired.

Excellent reasoning, and nifty bookends.

One of my 365 pics so far has been with my cameraphone, and I envy those who can do anything with them. After a shot of my feet, I don't know what's left.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Scrappy, those are awesome!

The guy with the mini antique rocker is holding it for me. I have to decide if I want to drive an hour to get it. It's a really good price and it's in good condition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Way too much, but they are totally gorgeous and it was a gift cert, so we thought we should get something we'd NEVER buy ourselves. Plus, they should last forever.

Lovely! Plus, you'll look at them every day, so why not have something good!

I finally took down my tree. So that's good.

Cash, I say go for it. And Scrappy, you did perfect. Gift certificates are for indulgences. Or should be, anyway.

Okay, found today's attempt for 365. Mostly backlit.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

am still sick, but am feeling better and feel mostly human while on the sinus meds. IreallygrossN the stuff that has been coming out of my nose and throat. Disgusting stuff.

mac is being a jewel and entertaining himself with Legos while I indulge in only my second full football game viewing of the season.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think it's sad when you end up having to spend a gift certificate on something practical, so yay for Scrappy.

Since my digital camera still counts as a new toy and I have Photoshopping skills to keep up/improve, I'm letting myself got to town with the 365s, but I can and have taken good self-portraits with the cell phone and the PDA cameras. You've just got to get some natural light and be prepared to try a whole bunch of different angles and tries. :-)
