Holy cow. I actually did this whole month! I don't think I've ever managed to not miss a day of this in the many years of doing this (even with the years off). Today, this last day of February, will have two photos. The main one
A slow day today (very freaking warm & muggy, odd for February in the Bay) printing out soggy paper and preparing for an online class with Center for Book Arts next month on the History of the Book. Feeling a bit weird because of this weather, so doing something not
I've gone pink again! Spent some time at the salon with my long time stylist doing some impressively bright pink hair again - I need the sparkle. I also needed the haircut pretty badly. The dye in the bowls doesn't even come close to how bright
A surprise delivery of a preorder I made from Pegasus Books in Berkeley. I was startled by a knock at the door yesterday which is usually PG&E, but this time it was a very tall deep-voiced guy bearing a paper wrapped book. I love local bookstores! (this is

(Not pictured: grotty earplugs & a totally nuked schedule) Still struggling with some bouts of dizziness which is unusual, but not unexpected. Big weather shifts here. Plus major roadworks. Hoping a decent night of sleep will help (they’re here early!
Grinding weirdness. Been a couple days of this & developed a weird vestibular migraine last night so didn’t get this posted on time. Will have two posts/emails in a few hours, apologies, catching up.
This is why this is late. Below 40°F (~4°C?!) is VERY COLD in the SF Bay area. Plus I was awoken just after 7am by the longest rumbling of thunder & hail I thought it was an earthquake that just hadn’t started shaking yet. Needless to say
