Winter solstice in the tropics

The winter solstice is at 1747, their time (+800 ours). Doesn’t mean much around here, but the shortest day of the year seems like a good time to wind up unfinished business. We’ll announce the winners of the ongoing contests—the LitWit Rewrite Twilight challenge and the raffle for readers who reserved copies of Twisted 8 1/2—at 8pm. We are no longer accepting reservations, but if you have a last-minute Twilight rewrite (and 7 times out of 10 it’s better than the Meyer) post it now so you’re eligible for the prize.
It’s also the season of benders, when you overindulge at office parties in a vain effort to avert your eyes from the dance numbers. Here’s something to do on your next drunken binge: Buy a Warhol! Hugh Grant did. For 2 million pounds. Then he sold it for 13 million pounds so that was a good hangover. We like a rich person who gets drunk and buys art.
