I totally forgot about the Aurigid Meteor Shower. Apparently, this meteor shower is very rare. Coming off the remnants of the Comet Kiess which finished its first orbit around the sun in 1911, scientist say this is will probably be the only time you’ll see the meteor shower in your lifetime. In [...]

I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown. It was just yesterday that the year was just starting and we were celebrating the New Year… now it’s already August 30th! And the year is closing soon!
I realy cannot believe that it’s coming to and end. My birthday is just a few weeks away [...]

Lunar Eclipse – August 28, 2007
Posted in moon on August 28, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Well, I tried to take photos of the moon during this eclipse. I swear I was either really tired… or just really bad at taking photos today.
On another note: There was an earthquake today near Berkeley, CA. According the USGS, it was a magnitude 3.0. When it happened, I thought that it was the upstairs [...]
Somehow it doesn’t look right….

I am trying to work the new pattern. Unfortunately, when I started it on Sunday, it really didn’t remotely resemble the scarf on the pattern page. So, I unraveled a few times… yes, I frogged. And it was really ticking me off. But I think it’s starting to look like something really pretty. [...]
Meme me

Here’s my first attempt at a meme.
1. What is your all-time favorite movie?Pirates of the Caribbean
2. From #1, what character are you most like in that movie? (Now, don’t go changing the movie because you’d rather be compared to Princess Buttercup from the Princess Bride than Gollum from Lord of the Rings.) [...]
Monday Blues….

Well, not so much blue as I am bored… Since I took Friday off, I knew I had to be in early this morning because I would have a ton of work to complete… and I also had to attend an off-site meeting later this morning. I have a few pet peeves that I’d like [...]
What’s Next?

Well, I just got back from the VA Hospital in SF….
We actually spent most of the morning there, waiting for Randall to get the results of his blood tests and x-rays. I was trying to do a new pattern with some pretty yarn but I don’t think it turned out the way it’s supposed to.
[...]
In a Hurry

So, I’ll just make this a quick status update:
Randall is feeling better.. but still sore… and purple.. and yellow.. and a little splotchie.
I finished the knit hat (the red and gold one)… and finally got the lettering on it.
Trying to stay awake….

It was one of those days… you know, the kind that just didn’t seem to end and it kept going and going and going, like the Energizer bunny… But rather than being cute, it was really REALLY annoying!
My boyfriend injured himself at work yesterday. He fell off of a ladder and hurt himself after falling [...]
UPDATE on the Post….

I’m just one of those people who like getting mail! So here’s a list of what I’m still waiting for in the post.
Harry Potter books: I ordered paperback copies of HP & TOOTP and HP & THBP. I also ordered a (hopefully) 1st American edition of the Sorcerer’s Stone Hardcover. This was all through Amazon.com [...]
How Do I Look in My New Dress?
Posted in blogs on August 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
As you can probably tell (at least my regular readers can tell)I have changed my skin. It is different, in that I am used to the dark background and circles… but it’s good to change, isn’t it? I think it shakes things up a bit and keeps it fresh and new…
Hope you all [...]
One last thing…

My brother sent this to me the other day… it’s quite funny.
The Japanese have revealed a mystery for us.
How does the small arrow on your computer monitor work when we move the mouse? Haven’t you ever wondered how it works?
Now, through the the miracle of high technology, we can see how it is done. [...]
