Its a serious bitch and thats a good day. If you're not on the road by 530am then you're screwed.

A long trip from Fort Meade to home is 45 min.

So I saw the ISS tonight! :) Right on cue, it appeared West, South West for about 30 odd seconds and looked like a bright star moving (to the eye at least) about 2 or 3 times faster than a high altitude passenger plane. Pretty cool :) It passes by just after 8pm GMT again tomorrow so I might take a video for prosperity :)

Alright! :D to Deep, and Kendall.

I'd like to publicly apologize to Reliant for sounding heartless earlier. I don't deal with death well, and I've been going through some major changes and I've been a little selfish, I'm sorry about your Grandfather. Again I'm sorry. :hug:

Lately I've been going through so much crap, well, mostly physiological, well, my sinuses, I'm always stuffed up, and usually can't breath, at all...

Hopefully the CATscan that we had ordered will be approved by the Insurance company soon enough. Then hopefully we'll know what is wrong...

Til then, I get to feel like crap... :(

Well, I just got back from seeing "Star Trek" at university :-) (Yes, it was a legal copy. I guess student services has agreements where they can get movies after they leave theater but before they go on DVD) to find out that in the course of the movie my dorm had been evacuated. A bunch of us were returning to the dorm and we managed to get back as they were starting to let people back in. Apparently someone somewhere tampered with a fire extinguisher. :bangwall: Morons.

Btw, even in "low def" pan-and-scan, the new trek film still looks good.

Well, my back is screwed up again (I'm walking with my left shoulder NOTICEBLY higher than my right). Doc is sending me for an MRI on Sunday. OH JOY.....it's like climbing into a torpedo tube with Tsuki!

No, that would be much worse. :lol:

On an interesting note, my shoulder went out of socket this morning. Weird.

Mark, "Ow my back!! Durnit Tsuki, that hurts! Take that!"

Elsewhere in the same continuum;

Tsuki, "Aagh my shoulder!! MAAAAARK!"

Don't be daft, If I'm honest I hadn't even noticed. I'm so unbelievably tired at the moment, my leaning toward "Legally blonde" and therefore stupid increases when I'm deprived of sleep. I'll be alright and back to normal attention levels (questionable at best) in a couple of days but for the moment I'm your settled into your severe dumb blonde stupor.

However, I have a chance to use a friend of mine as a guinea pig for photoshooting which I am looking forward to. So far i've only really had the chance to take photos of flowers in the garden (most of which are now dead) and myself. I'm really greatful for the opportunity to take pictures of someone else.

Mark, why are you using Blackstar's sig as your own? :|
