It was an impromptu decision to go stargazing this morning, but I can't say that I regret it. It felt nice outside, with a little bit of a breeze.

• Date: October 29, 2023
• Time: 2:00 - 3:30 AM, roughly
• Location: local graveyard, in the back.
  • It's new, the first people only being buried within the past ten years or so-ish, so there's a good chunk of land in the back. I laid down on the grass.
• Moon: Full
  • Naturally, conditions weren't optimal for stargazing, and it took me several minutes in the beginning to adjust to the brightness of the Moon. Eventually I did, and once I did, I could make out some of the stars better.
• Constellations
  • Taurus, right above me
  • Orion, slightly to the left
  • Canis Major, to the left of Orion
    • Sirius
  • Auriga
  • Cassiopeia, far up above -- I had to crane my neck to see her
• Planet Spotted: Jupiter, by the Moon
• Songs
  • Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
  • Vesperae solennes de confessore in C - Mozart
  • My Home - Yasuharu Takanashi
  • Witchi-Tai-To - Oregon
  • Songs of the Auvergne - Joseph Canteloube
    • Bailero
    • Netania Davrath
  • Robo Inferno - Yuki Hayashi
  • Requiem, Op. 48 In Paradisum - Gabriel Urbain Faure
  • Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
  • Dinosaur / Prehistoric music
  • Parade - Chaba
  • Band On the Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
  • Creature - Half-Alive
  • Across the Universe - Beatles
• Substance of Choice: Coors Light. First time trying it. Had five bottles. It's okay.
• Observations, Thoughts
  • A nice, cool breeze. I tend to like to be cold, to where I put off wearing jackets and long sleeve shirts as long as I can. It's perfect outside, at 68 degrees.
  • The Moon is so bright that I can hardly see anything, but I don't regret going out. I needed something to shake things up.
  • There are a few clouds above me, and for the first half of the time that I spent out there, they were covering up Queen Cassiopeia. Eventually they broke, but I remember thinking that at first they looked like a giant silver bat.
  • What's the star by the Moon? I'm sure it's not really a star.
    • Note: I was right, it was Jupiter.
  • I feel like a kicked dog that's been kicked too many times.
  • I need to try to re-remember the things that make me happy, that are beautiful.
