What's the textbook definition for insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Well call me crazy, cause I'm going to be trying to see a shuttle launch again.
I have been trying for a few years now to get down to FL and see a shuttle launch in person. Each attempt has been met with delays to the point where I was;tn no longer unable to go down, or ungrateful brat children that didn't want to leave DisneyWorld to go see it. ( <3 my children. I really do.)
So this morning the shuttle launch tickets went on sale. I got on at 7:45 local time to get into their virtual waiting room to see if I got chosen to get a causeway ticket when they went on sale at 8. So I sit there waiting, getting more despondent as the minutes tick past 8, and I'm still sitting in the waiting room. I'm about to exit when I get shunted off to their ticket buying screen! YES!!!

*headdesk*
I got prickteased by NASA.
Well, I ended up getting three tickets for the visitors center for February 7th. It's a 4 AM launch, so it will be a dark launch (cool!) I know it's going to happen this time. I just know it.
Ad astara per aspera!

Yeah, there's 4 chinese restaurants, 2 that I actually trust. The one I go to gives you a lot of food and it's really cheap and reeeeally good. The sushi is really good. Depending on when the students are in town they either serve it every day or like Thursday and Friday or Thursday-Sunday.
