A tribute to the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers album cover.

Sure, the photo is boring, but if you click through to read the story that goes with it, you probably won't be bored anymore.

Final self-portrait of the year. We had a smallish party at the house, about 15 people. We had plenty of food and liquor and played Cards Against Humanity and laughed ourselves silly. Personally, I think that's a much better way to ring in the new year than in a hot, crowded bar full of people you don't know where you're paying $8 for every drink.

Clothes swap at Selena's! I had just gotten rid of a bunch of stuff at the thrift store a few weeks prior, but I still managed to bring two grocery bags worth of things. I came home with only one bag containing a skirt, a few tank tops, a CASHMERE SWEATER, a shawl/cape thing (which Selena told me used to be a skirt but the waistband died) and a blouse.

Various things drying in the laundry room.

Cool mornings, sunny afternoons.
I need to stop dumping my crap on the kitchen table immediately after coming home from work.

In the afternoon I rode my bike to the grocery store to buy cookoff ingredients, and man, I forgot how Adanac is uphill both ways. After that I just kinda lazed around, and when Jeff came home from work he was holding a graffiti book and a vinyl copy of Deltron 3030, and when I asked him where he got it he told me he paid a dollar for each one at a yard sale up the street. I went up there and got everything in the above photo for $5. Best shopping trip ever!

Amanda and Laryssa came over to watch the game with me. It was a good one.

It was a stat day so I didn't have to go to work, so I used the time to edit some photos and wash our mountain of laundry. In the evening I went to a clothes swap at Amanda & Laryssa's, and it was kind of ridiculous how much crap we all had! This is what it looked like after we'd all picked through it, so we packed it all up and walked it over to the Value Village. Then we sat on the floor eating popcorn and drinking tea and listening to old records.

Jeff and I had a lazy morning together and when he departed for work in the evening, I opted to stay at home and bake cookies and cake. And drink some beer.

I tend to think that NYE is a total b.s. excuse for a holiday, and people are always trying to do the MOST FUN THING EVER and it ends up being a huge letdown, so the past couple years I've kept it pretty quiet and it has been enjoyable. Jeff and I just had some Cava and sat talking, and then other people came home and we talked to them too.

Roommate gift exchange! This is Jesse with the socks I gave him (I also gave him some cufflinks made out of typewriter keys). He gave me the new Coupland novel and Sarah gave me a necklace she made out of crystals and a bullet casing. Awesome!

It was a strangely warm day for late December and I walked to the grocery store wearing only a jean jacket and a scarf over this. Later I went to Malloreigh's for a Christmas baking exchange, where we all chatted over tea and delicious vegan goodies. She also gave me a gift: a zine she and Kaylie made of recipes of theirs, along with a little bag of nutritional yeast and a box of fenugreek leaves :)

Amanda and her peacock-themed outfit at my birthday party. It was a lovely party with delicious food and many gifts of booze and hugs from friends. Every time I host a party I am childishly afraid that it will just be me and like two other people standing around in nice clothes in front of a table of food, but happily that hasn't happened yet.
The rest of the photos can be found here.

It was fucking cold outside. And sunny. I had to wear gigantor shades with my four layers, scarf, leg warmers, and Russian Hat. So sexy.
