That's the usual here in OR also.

I have managed to capture the northern lights down here, but just once. It's always cloudy.

Northern lights?! I've lived in Oregon my whole life and have never seen them, very cool!

They were pretty weak and they are very rare down here in Eugene, but I keep track of these things since I'm from up north and they make me feel like home.

You can see the pics here, including the segment they did on the news. It seems like I was the only one in Eugene who went to the trouble of photographing them. http://gallery.ladukephoto.com/aurora

And here's a shot from North Idaho, it's my favorite aurora shot. My best friend has a huge print of it in her cabin.

***Yvonne pumps fist in the air and yells, "Hooray!!"***

I hit this thread at 5:49p and it reminded me of the moon. I jumped up and ran outside and that big, beautiful golden orb is just now clearing the horizon. What a pretty sight.

I think I just finally understood the meaning of Binge watching a show. From the time I woke up this morning to me going to bed just now, I've been watching House all day only breaking to get food or go to the bathroom, i watched at least a season total, and they're not exactly short seasons. So I'll probably be sleep diagnosing again like I did the last time I binge watched the series, and tonight the NyQuil probably won't help matters. But I definitely felt better today and had a much needed day of rest just when I was starting to feel very burnt out. I also after not drawing for over 6 months picked up my pencils and got my artist on, very cathartic.

Goodnight friends, until tomorrow.

I watched House for a few episodes when it was running, but I got tired of his attitude and had to quit watching. Don't know how you could stand to watch him all day long. (But glad you're feeling better)

See that's where we disagree, I love the show so much because of his attitude, I almost feel like I understand the character, like we have similar personalities. I find it fascinating how easy it is for him to play people into what he wants and actually does it, I know I'm able to do things like that but most of the time I just can't bring myself to it because I'm too human and caring. It's like I understand that he's in so much pain that it makes him as miserable as he is, and his affinity to keep himself miserable by turning away from good things happening in his life (because I'm also too good at doing to myself) so I guess what I'm saying is I find him very relatable. Minus the Vicodin addiction (in which I have an addictive personality but never have done drugs ore anything like that). I never stopped to think people wouldn't like his personality! I just find it thoroughly amusing and easy to watch all day. It's by far one of my favorite shows out there, I'm more sad that I was likely too young to appreciate when it was first on TV and didn't watch it earlier, now I own all the DVDs.

I doodled this little cartoon House before getting into my more serious freestyle art scribbles. Turned out pretty ok for not doing anything for over 6 months. Tried a portrait but I'm way too rusty with my shading and making people look real to even think about sharing yet until I get back into practicing and them coming out good again.

Idk, I think binging is better. I started by watching 1-3 straight thru and it was better than having to wait to watch episodes as they aired.

+1 for binging. I like having the option to keep watching. I hate weekly cliffhangers. All of my favorite shows I wait for the season finale before starting them.
