Lost and Found
Aug. 14th, 2006 11:48 amSo I lost my mind the other day... no wait that's still missing... Let's try this again.
So I lost my wallet the other day when I had to get out of the house and R and I went to go and watch the meteor shower (It was the Perseids and we thought evil thoughts at the clouds and then for a few hours it became one of the clearest, best nights for stargazing that you can get in downtown southern Ontario. We only saw a few meteoroids (I'm pretty sure that they're meteoroids when they're in the atmosphere but I'd have to check my astronomy notes, and even if they're not: meteoroids!) but, as I said it was a really good stargazing night so we looked around at the various constellations and whatnot since I had my binoculars with me. We saw a bunch of satellites and I showed R the double-double in Lyra, a bunch of the nebulae coming out of the spout of Sagitarius, Antares (Mars' "twin" star) in Scorpius, and a random gobular cluster that I found by accident and still don't know which one it is or anything else exciting about it. Then at about 23.30 the clouds started to come back so we went home for sleepy sleeps.) Where was I? Oh yes, the wallet. Anyway I think that it must have fallen out of my pocket while we were sitting and then lying and then sitting and standing and all that stuff with the stargazing. Then yesterday morning when I put on my pants (it's still cool enough for pants!) I knew immedately through my sleep addled haze that something as wrong. Some frantic sleepy searching later I went to work and check where R and I were sitting (standing, lying) because the Tower makes a great shield for the light pollution. No dice. Losing stuff is very unlike me (for longer than about five minutes anyway) but I'm kinda tired so I'm not freaking out too much just starting to think about what I needed to do to fix all that stuff. Most of my ID (sans passport) is in my wallet and at the moment so is my SIN (note to self: change that) so I was a little worried. Yeah. Anyway before my brain can wake up enough to get really freaked out L comes by to tell me that we got a call at home from the Police Department that someone had turned in my wallet(!!!) and suddenly there's no need to freak out. I went down to get it from the Police HQ on my lunch break and absolutely everything was in it, even the thirty dollars in cash. Apparently the woman who found it was a tourists and didn't want to leave her name, but good thoughts go in her direction nonetheless.
Also I was going to go to the Fort today because B told me to and apparently if I ask after him (or my other friends in the Gaurd) then I can get in for free! But I don't think I'm going because I am le tired and I have a dentist (bleagh!) appointment at 14.45 and don't really have the time to rush it. Will find another opportunity before I bugger off to Uni half-way across the country.
( ... And Stargates )
And the 200th episode of Stargate is this friday!!! *is so much excited* Also apparently there's a making of that's on right before it. I hope someone puts that up to download too because I'd like to see it. Am n3rd.
And in order to make myself a total martyr to the SciFi community: I really like Enterprise! I've just started season three and the entire lighting scheme has gone more contrasty and dark to proove that the situation is more dire. In the same vein Archer's hair is no really short and dark because it doesn't have the fluffy light bits on top. I think it makes his nose look bigger but I've determined that I like men with big noses (Archer, Mulder, Methos, Faramir...) so that's fine by me! Also Trip being so angsty that he's getting emotional advice from Malcom makes me really happy.
And now: Coffee.
