2008: mayfly
an exercise in brevity and introspection. based on the fab mayfly project:

The best brief biography I've ever heard was for a mayfly:

"Born. Eat. Shag. Die."

Because Ephemeroptera lives only for twenty-four hours, the summary of its life is refreshingly straightforward: To the point. The stuff that matters. Just the essentials. ...there's nothing quite like embracing the constraint of brevity (whether time or wordcount) when summing up the last year of your life to make you re-examine your priorities, or focus on what has affected you or was important to you over the last twelve months.

so, here's my sum of 2008 in 24 words [or peruse my lists in one place]:

1. valley behind. facing now.
2. finding home.
3. orange belt.
4. activism.
5. east bay!
6. inspiration.
7. change.
8. reading.
9. yardlove.
10. sunroom, painting.
11. layoffs.
12. tour de gay.
13. yes. we. can.
