Amazing how much difference a good night’s sleep can make. This is something I know, rationally. But I lose sight of it whilst sleep-deprived. Especially after too many nights spent wide awake at 3am, playing Tetris on my iPhone until my eyes cross. But last night I got a solid seven hours - for the first time in nearly a week - and it’s changed my outlook dramatically. Starting the day out with a combo of chocolate babka and Wii bowling didn’t hurt either.

Today is the last day of the year, obviously, but also the final day of my year long self-portrait project. I’m sort of at a loss for how to end it but I’m sure I’ll come up with something. I always do.

Bonus: From Berlin’s Hole of Forgottenness, a Spell of Songs.
Plus: Some Flickr friends on the other side of the planet have already celebrated their New Year’s Eves. I quite enjoyed Bre’s NYE mustaches.
And: I love Giyen’s healthy attitude about life (and also the phrase “snowmaggedon binge eating” - it’s sort of stuck in my head). Despite some recent insomnia-induced sadness, I am also loving my life right now. And excited by the possibilities that 2009 will bring. Happy New Year all!
