blog design, astronomy, Telescope, nebulae
...
I have totally discovered the CSS for dummies thread. And, as evidenced by the new header here and the header over at the
new GUAS website I am totally in love with nebulae. The one at the GUAS website is the Crab nebula and the one here is the Orion nebula. Both photos were taken with the Hubble, and obtained
here.
EDIT: For the record, the phrase 'BCC is badass' is mine -
mine! When Joe uses it, and I know eventually he will, the world will know it is
stolen! Mwahahahaha

spelling, Modest Mouse, observatory, latte
...
All the near coffee places are inexplicably closed. In fact, the circ desk in Lauinger is also inexplicably closed, and I'm 105% sure it isn't actually supposed to close until midnight.
I have done nothing academically productive since I went to class on Thursday. So, since 4 pm on Thursday. So, 54 hours and 36 minutes of non-productiveness.
But I saw the nebula in Orion last night, for the first time in years. Yay! for Bob the Dobb(sonian).
Wisconsin Death Trip, just now. I may have been the only person in the theater who really got what they were trying to do. Few of the comments during the talk after were really positive. This blog post is what I'm doing instead of the reading for my paper which is due on Monday.
It shouldn't be impossibly difficult, but I am loathe to actually get the process underway. I know I can do the paper, I just don't really know what I'm doing
with the paper, if that makes sense.
I am by no means socially isolated or reclusive here, but that does not prevent me from being isolated. Possibly, I have been listening to more Modest Mouse than is good for me. Also, I would like to know what grade I got on my second philosophy paper, but Blackboard reveals no answers to me yet.
I was paid today, I want to blow it on latte's and theater tickets. But there isn't any point in buying theater tickets until tomorrow, and that's why it's a problem that there are no lattes. I ran into B---- from one of my classes at the theater, and finally told him that his green shoes are made of awesome. I think perhaps he is too nice for his own good - it is written in his face and movements. When did I start spelling theatre theater? I just noticed.
On a final note, I hate B------'s pants. Those who are adept at counting dashes or estimating distance will notice that B---- and B------ are not the same people. Sometimes, adding tags is the best part of blog-post-making.
EDIT: Also I would like it noted for history that F----- shared cookies with me. I havn't gotten to eat them yet, though, because I am in a room in the library where food is not allowed.
