The sky watching yesterday went well. There were probably 60-70 people there, from toddlers to senior citizens. There were a number of cannon-sized telescopes, which everyone got to look through. I saw Jupiter, its stripes, and four of its moons. Very nifty. I also got to see Mars and, my favorite, Saturn.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Fun! Did you see any meteors or satellites?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm just sick about Orlando. I wish I could do something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds great, Calli. I love those events.
Orlando: I haven't looked for details, yet. The shadowy outlines I couldn't help but pick up are bad enough, for now. If there's some useful channel for my anger and sadness, well, it's here, ready to go.

Orlando: I haven't looked for details, yet.
I didn't hear about it because I slept late, but then my brother texted me to complain about how the news was covering it. So that was an awful way to wake up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Quiet day here. Time to rest up after the gig yesterday. Still hot, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Orlando! Awful and sickening
Also just found out that I'm one of the many Californians whose vote hasn't been tallied yet. I suppose I should be angry but hey at least I confirmed they tallied my husband's.

Showering was probably kinda pointless in the staying clean perspective, but I just couldn't face all I need to do without it. Onwards. After some food

The status is NOT quo.
I'm heartsick about Orlando.
