Today was the day Pluto was discovered.
I thought it was a very interesting 'planet' when I researched it for school. Yes, back then, it was considered a planet!
It was discovered in 1930. That's pretty recent. It was disqualified as a planet in August 2006, due to new rules on planets. Planets must 'clear the neighborhood around its orbit.' Pluto's oblong orbit overlaps Neptune's. I still feel it's a planet, though.
It's also Battery Day. To celebrate the birthday of the electric battery's inventor, Count Alessandro Volta. He was born in 1745. Batteries were an amazing invention! So, they should be celebrated.
It was pretty cold today. But, I saw it may be even colder this coming week. Great.
Possibility of snow too. My parents are going to San Francisco this Sunday. And, won't be back until next Sunday. I hope they have fun!
I'll get a week to myself, which isn't bad either. It's a win-win.
Apparently, today's Gaia's 8-year anniversary. I can't believe they've been around that long.
I didn't hear about it when they first started. Saw it a couple of years into college, and hated it. It was somewhat confusing, and a little boring.
I've been a user now for a couple of years. And, it's significantly better. They've really come a long way. Hopefully they'll improve even more in the future.
I finally did my nails again. It's kind of a confidence booster to me.
Or, at least nice to look at. This time it's like a frosty grey with some pink mixed in. Looks a lot better than it sounds.
It's one of a few polishes that I have that aren't labelled. So, you don't know what you're really going to get. So far, so good though.
Watched Kiina. It was very interesting. Their episodes are supposedly based on true stories and facts. This time it was about a man who thought he was being cursed. He bought a bunch of things to try to counteract it. Lots of charms, dolls, masks, etc. One of his students tried cursing him too. She used a voodoo doll and stabbed it in the head. He actually died of a bee sting to the head. He was deathly allergic to them. So, the kid kept thinking she killed him. But, it turned out the teacher had a stalker from when he was in college. She began to get serious about it after an alumni meeting. She also worked at a place that she could easily get insects. Kiina thought that maybe the added stress of thinking he was cursed took a toll on his body already. So, he wasn't in very good health. I love how they presented the facts in this episode.
I started on a new article in You Maga to write out. I grew very tired of the one I was working on.
Wasn't very interesting to me. I know what the mountains are like in this area, so I needed something a little different. So, I started an article in the New Year's edition. I'll probably do a lot more in this one, because there's so many more interesting articles. I started with one titled Fortune and Spiritual Guide. It's personalized based on the year you were born. So, it seems 'deeper' than just, like, a horoscope. I don't know. I guess I'll find out.
Also, got a chance to read more of Dune.
