Last night my dad and I rode our motorcycles through the country on an old favorite road of ours. We ended up pulling over in a dark area and you could see every star in the sky.

By sheer happenstance, I turned around and lo and behold there was a bright orange flaming streak in the sky that I at first took to be an airplane or firework. It took me a couple seconds to realize it was a shooting star, the biggest and brightest I've ever seen and which I now think was a large chunk of space debris burning up on reentry because before it winked out it started breaking apart. I grabbed my dad, pointed at it and we were both slack-jawed at what we were seeing. It must have been visible for a good three or four seconds before vanishing. He said it was the brightest shooting star he'd ever seen in his life and that he'd remember it for the rest of his days.

And on a less spectacular but no less pleasing note, on the way home I finally rolled over the 1,000 mile mark on my bike, which means it's now past it's break-in period. ;D

I got off my ass and walked down to the post office instead of waiting until the next day when I could've gotten a ride there and back.

My feet hurt but in a good way.  Not only did I do an action that was 100% me, with help from no one else, but I got some good exercise in.

...Which I sorta negated by stopping at the local ice cream shop on the way back and buying a cone with Sunset Island Rainbow Sherbet.

Good gods that was delicious.

I found out I don't work on employee appreciation day, this is fucking great. Because nothing says your appreciated more than having to extra work that day.

Now if only I can find a way to have off on the employee christmas party. See previous complaint, add in carrying ~400lbs of turkeys and hams on top of already busier than normal day.

Technically yesterday now, but the new graphics card works! Skyrim, high, mondotexture pack, doesn't even flinch. Gonna try it on ultra tonight, but holy shit was that pretty looking out from dragon's reach. Used to be just kinda... white. It's also quiet as hell and pretty cool so far. Now I just have to wait for borderlands 2 to come out.

I got to hang out with my friend for a little bit, which doesn't happen often. He promised that he would take a day off when The Hobbit comes out so we can go see it.

My boss is apparently holding me up as the standard by which is measures my coworkers, wants to hire me on full-time (instead of the temp work I'm technically doing), and says he can get me a 15%-20% raise in the process. The best part? I haven't even worked there for a month yet :D

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Technically yesterday, now, but... between my roommate and I, we cleared back probably... a good hundred feet of brush, vines and undergrowth.  Now to kill the whole area with 'fuck-you'-level herbicide, KEEP it dead, then come next year, we'll rake it all out, cut down a few trees, and rent a wood chipper for a weekend... then we'll dig out after that, and plant grass, and officially expand the lawns.

Priestling is the Scourge of Plantkind.  Big plants tell their little plants about him to scare them into being good.

Finished reviewing the last of the Russian cases. Very hard, but I feel good about myself. Now onto past tense!
