2010 Daily Ornament Report - Cats are still being good. All ornaments, presents, and decorations are unmolested.

You know the best thing about the shortest day of the year? After today, the days will get longer and the sun will return.

I hopped out of bed at 3:15am and peeked out the bedroom window to see the red moon. By the time I dressed and got outside, a cloud bank had rolled in. But I persevered, bundled up in even more warm clothes and finally got a clear viewing of the de-eclipse. Of course, when I went back in I realized that my best view really was from the bedroom window, but it wouldn't have been the same to watch the winter-solstice-full-moon-eclipse and not breathe in the crisp winter air. "Magical" pretty much sums up the experience.

This morning I am enjoying the view of sunshine dappling the small, unfrozen part of the pond outside. A few geese have been paddling about that tiny area; the rest of the flock are standing on the ice. The bare trees stand in stark contrast against the deep blue, pale greys, and blinding white of the pond and hill.

I took the night off last night and watched "Black Swan". It's definitely an Aronofsky film. If you enjoyed "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream", you'll probably enjoy this as well. Still processing.
