You have a 12" Newtonian telescope? Oh my god, you lucky lucky man. I'm thinking about spending 5000 AUS$ on a telescope in December.
Bah, just get a PS3!

I'm feeling slightly frustrated that I can't seem to make up my slack on NaNoWriMo, but not too concerned. Also worried I may not have left myself enough time to get some uni work done tomorrow.
Also hungry.

Nice. . glad to hear it.
I just got slaughtered in Scrabble by Creator. . I am beginning to doubt my language skills!
Other than that. . a restful day. Still have to do a few chores around the house, so I guess I'd better get to that.

Language skills are only one factor... I've learned the hard way that putting one or two letters in the right spot will often get you more points than a nice long word. (Hard to adapt after so many years of 'old-fashioned' Scrabble.) (And don't take tips from me, I always come in last.
)
I am... tired.
Been up since 4 AM (which is typical), will soon be heading back into work until 11 PM. (Which is not typical, and worth complaining about.) Need to make a presentation to 50 people about holiday retail security. (Fun.) Ah well, it's just once a year.

Had friends over for lunch yesterday who then left at 9pm. We all had a great time (and drank far too much!). I'm trying to get excited about doing some work today...but would much prefer to sleep!

I feel stoked because I got a script from some people who can actually write/ understand humor, for once.
It won't make any money, but at least I won't have to spend my time clawing my eyes out in silent slavish complicity. They have talent! Jesus! This is a good thing!
w00t!

Enjoying your work is always a great thing--the best thing if you can get it!

My head feels like its filled with cement! Just a sinus headache but a bad one.
Good news is that I brought work home on Friday so I can still be kinda productive today and not feel so bad about missing work.

I have a lot of work to do today. I am feeling embattled. Will be working for MoveOn.org tomorrow to get out the vote on election day, though!
So I am excited as well.

Voting day tomorrow. My place of employment is a polling place. All those damned signs will be out front, and the creepy people trying to hand me flyers. And worst of all, where am I gonna park? With my luck it'll rain, and I'll get stuck on a grassy slope somewhere after all the people with the heavy equipment go home and spin my wheels all night.
*WHINE!*
Can you tell I have nothing better to do right now than complain? Guess it's time to go to class.

Great. Work has given me free reign to decide when I take my 6 weeks of leave next year. If I don't have my passport approved by the end of this month I'll head overseas next year.

Ah...winter is almost here.
Got a few Centimeters of snow today, and I don't have snow tires yet...had to tear the porch apart this morning looking for the ice-scraper.
Actually, I love it, we just started burning this years wood for heat...there's nothing like like wood heat...what with all the chainsawing and splitting and stacking (and re-stacking...and re-stacking) and spinters..but once you feel that fire heating up your house, it's so rewarding.
I was hoping to get my chiney cleaned before I started burning, but i'll just get a couple of really hot fires going..that cleans it out.
