I feel obliged to post something, since that is what is expected of me.
It's work. Work is eating my free time. Although I'm very happy with the job since it keeps me supremely busy at all moments throughout the day. I tend to get in trouble if I have free time.
On my way to and from work, I've been taking pictures with our digicam. My work route involves getting off the train in the heart of downtown san francisco and walking to the edge of the city. The morning stroll takes me by a lot of San Francisco landmarks... Coit Tower, views of the Bay Bridge, and the Transamerica building, a total phallic sun-god cult obelisk in the middle of town.
I'm drawn to its giant penis-ness, and feel compelled to take pictures of its massive-ness, because I am male. Knitting feminists make fertility goddess tokens, so why not embrace my male worship of the phallus?
Anyhow, I think about Hokusai's 100 Views of Mt Fuji,1 and as a tribute, I'm building 100 views of the Transamerica building.2 I'm up to 13.

1 Yes, I know, the link is sadly lacking on the number of "Views" it provides, but I am at work and can not search the web for a comprehensive work of Hokusai, because in addition to making a lot of landscapes, Hokusai was also a prolific pornographer.
2 Unless I get bored and stop.
