Did You Witness the Blood Moon?

I’m sure the whole world heard that there was a fancy total lunar eclipse (of the heart!?) tonight, or this morning, or this afternoon, or whenever it was for you. I didn’t actually know about it until Maladapted mentioned something. How ridiculous is that? I picked up that the American release of the Stardust movie coincided with the Perseids, but I didn’t know about an instance of one of the most--WOW!--cosmic events? Crazy.

It really was a remarkable event, and I’m very sad that my camera isn’t of good enough quality to capture it, especially as the night was so wonderfully clear. My mother is in Canberra on business, and she took her super camera with her. I called her to remind her about the eclipse, but last I heard she couldn’t actually see the moon and had decided to go for a wander. With a little luck she found it and took some really amazing pictures of heartbreaking beauty.

In other news, I’m feeling rather distressed and can’t put my finger on why. The new job, perhaps? The idea that I’ve finally picked a career path? Or the fact that I’m ready for a boyfriend, but there are no potentials in sight? I suppose I’ll know what it is when I’ve fixed it.

Consequently, I think I’m going to see if I can orchestrate some kind of date with Orlando Bloom. The more I see of him the more I’d like to get to know him in an oddly non-celebcentric way. Orlando, if you’re reading this, drop me an email.
