ZOMG He's not a robot set on "ANGST"
Mar. 14th, 2005 12:56 amWell folks, the polls are in. Shinn is officially human!
( Destiny spoilers ahead. )
Right. Worked on Heihachi today, and made some pretty good progress. Put the eyelets in his shower curtain/sail thing, and got a decent part of his vest of DOOM made. It will still be interesting to see how it turns out, but it's mostly vest-shaped by now, so I have hope. ^^; It's that HAT that scares the living daylights outta me now. I'm going to... make a test hat first. On scrap fabric. Yeah.
Almost done with my book (3/4 of the way through), which is good because I will have to spend the entire week up until Thursday studying for the evil ISM test I have. Tomorrow morning the fact that I *have* said test will hit and I will freak; up until now I've been living in blissful procrastination-induced ignorance.
Um... oh! I went to the Rosemary Hill Observatory open house last night, which was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I drove up with Leah and back with Eric and his friend (whose name I know but don't dare spell for fear of killing it). Let's see... We used the 17" to look at Saturn and Jupiter (all four moons were on the same side - pretty neat!) and the 30" to look at the Orion and Crab Nebulae. I've never seen the Crab, and though it wasn't very high resolution, it was still *really* cool. The rest of the evening was filled with stargazing, actual joy over being able to see the Milky Way, lots of nerdy jokes ("Hey who's got a stopwatch? We can have Dave get back up there and time the pulsar. And if we wait long enough, we can even watch it slow down!") and the wonders of what bad seeing does to Arcturus ("It's a star!" "No, that's a plane." "Hey, it hasn't moved... it really *is* a star!")
Uhm.... and that's it. The weather's nice (high 70s!) and I'm tired, so I should start heading in the bed-ish direction. I can get a couple more chapters read before then if I hurry! ^^;
