So the "project" I was looking for does exist! It's the 9/11 Photoblog: snapping pix throughout your day, representing the good, the bad, and even the mundane. Unfortunately for me, not only did I find it once I was home... but, I was basically sick all day, and the only thing I actually did was walk a woman through a restraining order (not really picture worthy/compatible).
I really wanted to do this... so perhaps tomorrow? maybe just the thought will have to count *contemplates returning to much more comfortable position on the couch with purple pillows*
