Retrovlogging: NCIS in 2006

Been going through the archive of “almost-blogged” videos from before I actually started editing and posting stuff. Posting it now and starting a project I’ve had in my head for a while: Retrovlogging!

11:10 am - The clock says 10:10, but this clock still hasn’t been set forward for Daylight Savings Time. I’m thinking of not setting it forward so I can have just one clock that doesn’t buy into this ridiculous Spring Forward business.

11:29 am - Walking up the hill to the observatory.

1:03 pm - Local Noon at the Gottlieb Transit Corridor at Griffith Observatory. At local noon, when the sun reaches it’s highest point in the sky, it’s light is focused through a lens onto the Meridian Arc (pictured here) when it crosses the center of the arc, we can tell from the gradated marks what time of year it is.

8:17 pm - I FINALLY got Cyndi to agree to watch Firefly. We’re on disc 2. Damn you FOX for cancelling Firefly. I loved that show, even though I almost died of heat exhaustion on that set. I’ll have to tell that story some day.
