celebrations and sadness

first the celebration

this is post number 200 for me! 200!! wow. that's a lot of random ramblings from me.

next the sadness

i really want to see the meteor shower on saturday night. this could be the last good one ever [well, maybe not ever...but for a very very long time]! the comet is on it's way back out into the solar system and the next 33 year fly by might not happen because of jupitor! bitches!

my friends at space.com say that you will probably be able to see some meteors [a few every hour] in the pre-dawn hours friday, saturday and sunday but they expect a burst of activity around 11:45pm est [a few every minute]. this burst of activity is expected to last for 2 hours or so.

so even if i get out of the penny around 2 [ast] and the meteors are still seeable until 2:45ish, i'm going to be in the middle of the city!! boo-urns. i'd like to say that i'll get up on friday or saturday at some crazy pre-dawn hour to see the meteors, but i have class on friday morning and work on saturday morning. so i probably won't be getting up pre-dawn. i could just stay up saturday night...

if i don't have any beers and drive to the penny on friday....i could leave there and go out to the beach and see the meteors.

beautiful

anyone want to come with?
