I want to raise my GPA by 0.01 points. BSC has a little GPA calculator and this is what it told me I need:

To reach your goal, your GPA for your next 40 credits must be 4.000.

I would need to get A's in my next 13 or 14 classes. Yeah... OK.

Astronomy Magazines website has made my night (well not really but whatever.)

Under Astronomy for Kids there is a series of helpful tips for observing. Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Don't get hammered. If you get liquored up you won't be able to see things as good. Leave the Jell-o shots for the rainy nights.

2. Wear an eye patch. Sure. Why not? You're already a major nerd for using a telescope in the first place so no one will be weirded out by seeing you walk around with an eye patch on. Get one with a scary glo-in-the-dark skull.

3. In case the eye patch didn't work or people just think you have something wrong with your eye, pack a space blanket. A nice big Star Trek emblem on it will make you the most uberest geek, times infinity.

Finally, a few of my favorite section titles and quotes:

Going Deep, Know Your Equipment and "Take all the batteries you know you'll need"

It's over! WhHHHoooOOoOOOoooOOoooooo......

Finally almost a month off.

Still no car and only a few weeks left until I'm in Onset. I really don't want to use my aunt's expensive ass new car. Nice car, amazing car, but yikes, nice car.

( Everyday is so routine. )

( More Nemi comics )
I stretched them because they were small, and hard to read.

Just found my laptop running in my backpack after i shut it off after western civ at 4 o'clock. Evidently it decided that it new better and it could take being confined in a backpack with the fans running. It was only about 120+ degrees F when I took it out. And the display was still on too.

EDIT: 120°F on the outside. No idea how hot it was on the inside.

(2:02:58 AM) coprohead: but id have to process all the images first and i dont have the time right now
(2:11:25 AM) A*************r: heheh
(2:11:32 AM) A*************r: do it next time you are procrastinating on a paper?

He left before I could reply.

My reply would have been:
(2:13:26 AM) coprohead: What do you think I'm supposed to be doing right now???

Infra-Red Digital camera? Hells yes!!!!

In reference to this.

(8:04:48 PM) A*************r: saying that bikes in stores are dangerous and hazardous
(8:04:50 PM) A*************r: whaaaa/???
(8:04:56 PM) A*************r: how are bikes more dangerous than shopping carts?
(8:05:19 PM) coprohead: so are 8 yo unattended brats    can we remove them too
(8:05:24 PM) A*************r: hehe yeah for real

I scanned some old ass pic. If your interested:

The BSC Observatory made the local papers again:

Probably means there will be a million people there Wednesday if its not cloudy.

I accidently found the most amazing site last night while looking for a picture of a car with wooden wheels. You know it has to be the shit; since they have a picture of a car with wooden wheels.

Here is a sampling:

The fuck is my hat?


Lying down on the.... ah hum. This is the most ultimite lazyness and wicked retarded. Has to be the most insane thing I have seen in weeks.


The obligatory rv wreck.


Looking for a date? Find one here.

Tasty or totally gross.


The fuck is my 1,900 year old 20 sided icosahedron die?


Lets make a rickety ass coaster. Oh and just for fun lets let our 5 year old daughter ride it.



Only Mark could love this.

Awesome! These stickers are amazing...but also 'spensive


so cool. be warned, this video is German and there are many old men in speedos lurking about. The trap door effect is pleasing.

and

Wanty

Also the movie section called I Watch Stuff has some descent movie info.

I wonder if this one is for sale?

Every car I look at either gets sold before I get there or "the engine ticks but it might last a few years." WTF

Once again Western Civ ran until 3:35 and I am stuck on campus in the Physics stock room (train comes at 3:35, yeah its like a slap in the face).

Physics Stock Room:

PROS:
     Dart bored
     Laptop to play Flash games on
     Time to work on paper
     Kick ass, super cold AC
     Free printing

CONS:
     No food
     No clock (run the risk of missing the train)
     Stuck in the Physics Stock Room

shit

I should have gotten the afternoon started.

Was about to go on a ride today but...

( failure )

and

( larger pic of failure )

bored now :(

I have decided to watch some movies since I don't have a lot to do over the next few days (besides school).

( the long list is here )

Thanks Alyssa for helping me decide what to watch first.
NP: Platoon.

EDIT:
The Dark Crystal was no way near as good as I thought I remembered it being.

Labyrinth: crappy music (not a David Bowie fan); good movie. I hadn't seen this in a long time either. Jennifer Connelly, I think that is all i need to say.
