Meteor shower

Last night I was supposed to watch the most amazing meteor shower since 1996. Instead I stared up at a overcast sky lit by a gas station down a hill to the north and apartment houses across a cemetery to the south. Not one single falling star did I see. Oh well. Instead of star-gazing I ate a whole bunch of good food (although I'm not really sure how nachos, fudge, cheesecake and bottles of IBC cream soda's really go together to make a nutritious meal), and hung out with interesting friends. Some of these interesting friends decided to try and do a star dance to ward off the evil clouds blocking our view of the meteor shower. It didn't work, but it was amusing to watch. Later on, when we were about to leave, my brother discovered that his car key had fallen out of his pocket at some point after getting to the star-viewing location. So some people used the flashlights we had along while the rest of us tried searching with the light from our cell phones. Those of us with only cell phones realized how unbright cell phone lights are. Eventually Ty's friend Nathan found the key in the parking lot and we all bid each other good night and good luck on exams. Although this event wasn't quite as epic as the last meteor shower I witnessed, it was a memory that I'll look back on fondly. I mean who wouldn't remember cooled off nachos sprinkled with mist?
