Tonight I'm going to go down the national seashore and try some astrophotography.

The galactic center of the Milky Way will be over some jetties/dunes so I'm gonna try and take pictures of it. There's still a little moon left so it won't be the best but other conditions are ideal. No clouds no haze etc.

I've been plonking down money over the last year on a good prime lens, a good eq mount, and a decent camera. I finally have everything I need, and my schedule for tonite/tomorrow changed in my favor.

I've been looking forward to this for so long the fact that I get to finally go do it is pretty wild. I'm doing some absolutely bargain basement astrophotography but I've been pursuing it since I took a photo of the galactic center with a five year old iPhone a couple years ago.

I have a 55-200mm kit lens that I'm going to try using for a couple nebula photos too since I now have a working tracker.

uh uh my beans just sprouted this week in the garden. the peas sprouted last week. so i guess i'm looking forward to goods from the garden this spring and summer

warehouse fires i guess

I am doing some digital spring cleaning. I used to be very meticulous about keep my shit organized but fell out of it when I went into deep depression and subsequently became homeless. Finally merging the like 6 different "books" folders across as many storage devices and deduplicating them, organizing them by genre, adding things to calibre, etc. Been feeling extra scatterbrained recently and this is really helping me chill out. This all started when I wanted to put a book on my tablet and had to confront the non-Euclidean nightmare that is my organization "system" for the nth time.

Looking forward to feeling like everything is in its right place and getting back to that book I wanted to read.

In a week I'm taking a bus to beer tasting festival. All free. So looking forward to responsibly getting tipsy then having a professional take me home

Organizing has been going better than expected and worse than hoped, but leaves me in anticipation. Have gotten a lot of lucky breaks on some hard steps for labor and tenant organizing.

The little space of time right before july-august where the weather is just right, not too hot, and the nights aren't too cold.

I love shortbread cookies but I haven't had them in a very long time. It has to be at least 3 or 4 years. I'm getting groceries delivered so I'm correcting the oversight very soon.

Those shortbreads are so good

Im looking forward to buying a steam controller whenever that releases

I'm starting a pottery class and garden this summer

Im on my biggest vacation of the year (first day today) so I would say im looking forward to the rest of the vacation.
