One of the final frontier's less than stellar events.

My eyes are re-adjusting, I just came in from a seven minute jaunt outside. One of those minutes was spent watching a space station move somewhat unsurprisingly overhead. The other six minutes were spent in less-than-eager anticipation of the aforementioned, hoping its appearance would justify the drop in external body temperature or my prolonged exposure to the metallic pungency of a nearby dog shit.

It took me about 4 minutes to realise how much of a tosser I was for using binoculars in the dark to magnify vessels in low orbit. You're probably thinking: "PAH! that's something a woman would do, you ruddy berk!" and I'd happily share a chortle if it wasn't at my own expense.

Some people were present at Obama's inauguration ceremony, others watched it on tv, seeing as i didn't really care I didn't do either. But at least now, I've witnessed the momentous journey of a slightly orange speck moving quite quickly over the skies of the west-country.

I am humbled.



Also, Tales of Eternia is a pretty awesome RPG, the battle system is rife with potential memes:

OMEGA DEMON CHAOS!

etc.

But I don't really go for that kind of thing myself.
