Winter friends
This morning at work at around 4:00 AM I was outside looking for meteors and I noticed some of my old winter friends. Pleiades and Taurus were up, and Gemini and Orion were just peeking up over the horizon. Jupiter and Mars were also in the area. It’s a sign that winter is on it’s way. It’s already noticeably getting darker earlier. People around here hate that, but as an amateur astronomer, It’s nice when it gets dark before 10:00.
I think I’m going to get my telescope out early in the morning this week. It gives me a chance to see some of my winter friends before it gets too damn cold to be outside. It’s also been a while since I’ve seen Jupiter and even longer for Mars.

Blogcation
So I was planning on taking the month of August off from my blog. I just wasn’t feeling it much. I was even debating quitting it. I mean who blogs anymore? My feed reader use to be 80% bloggers, now it’s like 2%. But I can’t quit. WordPress 3.6 came out, and I started to play around with it. I decided it was time to clean up my blog. I’m back to a default WordPress theme, and am cleaning up my plugins. I’m just getting back to the basics, so pardon the dust. *insert early 90s animated gif here

Motion City Soundtrack from 2003
Here is a live performance of “My Favorite Accident” by Motion City Soundtrack from 2003. It’s around the same time I fell in love with them.
Best. Band. Ever.
