It's cold out there, but the sky is clear for the first time in December! (Well, there was this one night, but it was hazy.) So, what did I do? Threw on my coat, grabbed my telescopes, and ran up the hill. :) Of course, this was after I bolted out the front door, and saw Venus!!! Woot! Now, I have only to see Neptune, Pluto, and Mercury. Of those, Pluto is impossible with the scopes I have access to right now (magnitude 13.9).

Anyway, Aron and I checked out the Pleiades, Polaris, and Saturn (albeit briefly - the scope hadn't cooled enough yet, and the view was foggy-ish).

Today at work wasn't bad, and I got farther along in Night of Blood. Oh man, is that thing getting GOOD. It might very well affect my campiagn, it's so fun to read. I got home to find that the D&D Box Set I won on eBay had arrived. * content sigh* It was just like I remembered. The d20 that was included with it was orange with black numerals, just like my original one, too. I have new dice for the game on Sunday. :) (Shame I have to wait until January to test them out in a real RPG situation.)

Well, I'm going to clean up, and then go to bed. I need more sleep. And, I need to read more in Night of Blood.

That's okay. It's healthy not to be at the computer all day. Though, soon I'll have Cable Internet. I'm going to need about a 24 hour romp straight through to get it out of my system. *grin*

Yes. Broadband is awesome. I started work at Stream in August of 1999. As soon as I saw how fast RoadRunner was (our provider here), we had cable installed for the home computer inside two weeks.

Back in those days, though, there wasn't a lot of capping going on, so it was *FAST*. (It's still pretty good now, but NOTHING like it was.)

Feel free to add me to your AIM/MSN/ICQ buddy list, especially if you're going to have a home connection. The info's on my info page.

I will do that. :)
