Now, show us your dream job.
Why, tracking wolverines, of course!
That's my winter dream job, anyway.
How are you spending New Year's Eve?
* Curled up inside our warm house with our cats, new fluffy maroon blanket and raspberry tea. Thankful that we are so blessed and have such good fortune.
* Thinking of resolutions. I usually avoid making them, but this year it's necessary. A few things became very clear to me after my first semester of grad school.
* Reconsidering my thesis. There is so much to think about! I should do this kind of thinking over hot chocolate, don't you think? ;)
* Playing my violin. Yes, I play. I might also do some artsy stuff with my watercolor set. And I may call my grad school friend E, who plays viola. We found some Russian folk music that we can play as a team.
* Thinking of my Vox friends, who mean the world to me. Happy New Year, all. I love you guys.
Show us your favorite thing about this time of year.
Two words: SEASONS and REINDEER.
Okay, so my reindeer obsession is a bit out of control this year. But you HAVE to check this out. Instead of the Gregorian calendar, this is a collection of long sheets that represent each season. The year of this calendar runs from Winter Solstice 2007 to Winter Solstice 2008.
It's supremely cool. It has the proportional amount of daylight to darkness each day, moon cycles, which constellations are visible each week, Earth processes, and tides. On top of that, it's gorgeous. Wait until you see the Winter section. So sweet.
If you like mammals, Northern places, mystical forests, astonomy, lunar happenings, or anything else romantic, Earthy or cozy, this is for you! Geez I should be paid for this endorsement. Seriously, the best gift I got this Solstice.
I don't know why I love reindeer so much - maybe because I grew up around horses, snow, mystical folks, who knows. But I love anything that talks about winter or the seasons in general. And as Pax said, hot chocolate!
