Total Lunar Eclipse tonight (Aug 27/28) - Page 4

pergesu · #31 08-28-2007, 06:04 AM

I'm in SF and it's totally visible the whole way through. High up in the sky, no clouds or anything. City lights suck of course but at least I can still see it fine.

So earlier tonight my ex texted me telling me about this (she knows I'm into this kinda thing). I already knew about it but I pretended to be surprised and thankful etc. So we're chatting as it's going on and she's like, "I can't see it there's clouds in the way." A while later as I was explaining to her what goes on in a lunar eclipse, she's like, "oh wait so that's the earth's shadow, not clouds?" [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

ok so after that last remark by me...i don't wanna seem dumb, but is it worth staying up another hour- i've never watched this the whole way thru before...

I sat ontop of a ladder in my backyard once it dipped below the treeline, no clouds here in Iowa tho so it was good stuff.

I woke up at 3am after a 12 hour slumber so this was a friggin sweet start to the day.

No drink but i has/d a blunt

If you want to, but probably not that big of a deal if you're tired. It'll basically be the opposite of what it was coming in...gradually the moon will be lit up more, and the shadowed part becomes dark instead of red.

I'm inside now and am going to bed. Enjoy.

yeah, good call pergesu.
Some dude just walked by whistling...kinda spooked me, since it's the middle of the nite here...wait! Can zombies whistle????????? Plus i'm hungry and freezing my booty off! Between the jelly bellys and the hot pockets calling me, i think i got a contact high from Iowa!
Please tell me when something cool starts happening- thx
