edenfalling: golden flaming chalice in a double circle (gold chalice)
One thing I like about January is the way every day is just a little bit longer than the one before. The weather is still cold and the sky generally gray (at least in Ithaca, where the truism is that you don't see the sun from November to March), but I am typing this at quarter past five and the sky outside my eastern window is still a medium shade of bluish-gray, and to the west the yellow-orange glow of sunset is just fading in the lower branches of the trees.

Only a few weeks ago, it was pitch black at five on the dot.

Slowly but surely, the sun is coming back. :-)

I gave blood today, which went well. The Red Cross was set up in the basement of the Baptist church a few blocks from my house, so it was very easy to get to. (There are actually two churches within a few blocks of my house, which I suppose is because my neighborhood -- Fall Creek -- used to be kind of an independent suburb of Ithaca, way back in the day, and it still has traces of a tiny business district, though most of those have faded and it never did get separately incorporated.)

In other news, I've gotten through all of the Ladystuck Treats archive and am working my way through the main Ladystuck archive by reverse wordcount, which means so far I've looked at a lot of art and read some short comics. There are 191 works in the main archive (though at least one of them is a duplicate, and another is also part of the Treats archive so I'd already seen it there), and I have gotten through perhaps thirty of them.

(I would normally be faster, but I'm trying to comment on every work I open, because I get weird like that about exchanges. Plus I am still dealing with the all-things-Hannibal obsession I mentioned yesterday. *sigh*)

I have a long way to go...
