Greetings from sunny Florida!

My host is ill again today, so it looks like we won't get much done.  But it's still great that I can spend time with her.

Hope you two manage to have a great time regardless of illnesses. There seems to be a lot of flu going on... ><

@stew:
Sorry about the loss, man.  He sounds like he was a good guy to know.  I just recently learned of an older guy in my hometown that passed as well.  He was always very friendly, was always good for a laugh, and one of the few people I could say my father befriended.

As for not posting, I can relate.  I lurk offline from time to time and decide not to post for awhile for the same reason.

@red:
Welcome to the states, friend.  As I'm sure you're well aware by now, the flighty weather here in the southern states tends to lend itself to more frequent states of illness, so take care of yourself.  I hope your friend recovers soon, and you two enjoy yourselves :3.

He was a cool guy that ran the best school bus I ever rode in my career; no one got anything past him.  Never managed to pronounce my friend Anthony's last name correctly (Zban).

Meh, today sucked.

Apparently, my boss remembered over a month later about the whole nightshift thing, so he's trying to force that onto me again; refusing to give me any incentive to make this worthwhile (Full time benefits being the big one). So, even if I don't have another job lined up yet, I'm going to likely turn in my resignation; I'm tired of everything I've put up with from that place this past year. It's not worth it anymore.

But, on a lighter note, I at least have my GED; so getting a new job would be easier

Good luck Pentium, you shouldn't have to be trapped in a job if you hate it. :/

What part of Florida are you visiting, Red? The Florida panhandle I'm okay with, but I sort of loath the rest of the state... even though it's where I was born...

On a totally different note, I spotted Jupiter tonight. It was damn bright (-2.6 app.) and very red due to its low angle on the sky.

Fabulous sky is fabulous. Hopefully tomorrow night will be less cloudy so there's less light polluting it, that way I might be able to snag a photo of it.

Nice, its also red due to red shift!

About to make a new icon/logo for myself, wish me luck.

@kraus: break a stylus. :3
@red: welcome!
@pentium: ask your grandpa for a job!
@nej: did you get pics?

today i missed not one, but two buses!

we got there early enough that i managed to stop at a convenience store and get more cough drops, and when the bus arrived......my mother realized that she had forgot the tickets. as we went in to buy a set, the bus pulled away. we got a refund for the tickets, and drove home to get more, and when we got back the next bus was pulling away.
i was an hour late for class, but didn't miss much thankfully. the class afterward went well too. :3

on the way home, as i was about to leave the building, one of the back straps to my backpack broke. so i had to use the shoulder strap to carry the damn thing, which left me feeling half dead by the time i got to the bus.

on the upside, i'm getting two bowls of minestrone and a dollfie out of this, in addition to my textbook, a thermos, and a pair of chopsticks. i'm even going to get my computer looked at. we're also going to go look for a pair of new shoes for me, and we're going to the art store tomorrow.

i'm excited for the dollfie. i've wanted one for a long time. :3

[Bella]

Raccoons and skunks are laying siege to my yard.... and my pellet gun isn't on hand. I'm pissed. Tomorrow night I'm going to be ready for them. :[

(The pellets won't kill them even if I hit them, but it'll probably be suffice in scaring them away.)

DOUBLE POSTING FOR GREAT IMPORTANCE:

1) I'm thinking about making a Tumblr for my art. I could just go with Bellacielo.tumblr.com, but I'd like a clever title .... any ideas anyone?

2) Apparently I'm going to lose my shit every time it rains heavily from now on. Thanks PTSD.

[Paul]

Hmm, I don't have any clever title at  hand right now, but now you brought me to think about reviving my abandoned Tumblr account (thetealtortoise.tumblr.com) again :3

[NejinOniwa]

Jupiter has been spotted today as well. For those of you on lower latitudes than me (meaning, all of you unless we have a secret Alaskan with us) it should be easier to spot; if my calculations are correct you should be able to see her on an almost clean southwest heading around 10pm or so, shining bright red. Spot it and poast pix! I got one reasonably good shot that I'll be uploading later.

[stewartsage]

I'll keep an eye out, if possible, since I have several intervening mountain ranges to deal with and not because I am contacting you all in secret from Juneau.

[Nichi]

Well, my grandma managed to break her PC again, so I've been roped into fixing it once more *facepalm*
