The moon rules!
Monday, August 27th, 2007My class schedule this year has absurdly early classes three days a week (9 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and absurdly late classes two days a week (3 PM to 9 PM on Tuesdays, 3 to 7 on Thursdays). Almost fittingly, however, this corresponds very well to tonight’s total eclipse of the fucking moon, which ends at 4:22 AM, leaving 8 hours of sleep before I get up at a leisurely noon and prepare for class.
With that settled, I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I can’t very well sacrifice a virgin, since I’m not in favor of human sacrifice, to say nothing of the challenge of finding one at this late date. I’m also not sure where to go to see it. While I don’t know if the observatory itself will be open, it might be worth driving up there just because the hill is a prime viewing spot. (Of course it is, that’s where the observatory is!)
I do, however, have the music picked out—Dark Side of the Moon. True, the album is arguably more befitting of a solar eclipse (particularly in its final lyrics), but the sound is more befitting of nighttime.
