Okay, guys, the eclipse was pretty cool. At totality (we weren’t in the direct path, but we were near enough as to make very little difference), it got a LOT darker and a LOT cooler, and it was SO WEIRD.
John used the binoculars and a cereal box to make a projector, and we watched the moon eat the sun and then vomit it back up, all on cardboard.
The eclipse: a photo essay
I slept with my contacts in last night. I feel like that doesn’t bode well for the rest of the day. I dreamed I had to make pancakes at school, and I was going to be graded both on how good they were AND what terms I was able to get for the mortgage I got for them. I was worried because I was the last in the class during the taste test and my pancakes were going to be cold. I was not worried about the mortgage. While I was waiting for my turn, I found out that the entire school was out of coffee and I had to drink ice water, which I promptly spilled on my slippers – because I was wearing slippers at school – so I had to go barefoot.
To recap: I slept with my contacts in and then had a weird restless night with weird restless dreams. Oh, and we’re basically in the path of totality for today’s eclipse. If you don’t hear from me again, it’s because our alien overlords took me away under cover of darkness, decided I was too stupid to keep (since I can’t remember to take my contacts out at night), and left me to wander in the wilderness.
