Jul. 22nd, 2009 10:12 pmJust finished watching In the Shadow of the Moon.
If you get the chance go and see it. Was great on a small screen and would have been simply amazing on a large screen or somewhere like the Embassy.
Then turned off the household lights, wandered out onto the front balcony and looked up...
And I could spot the fact that my glasses were grubby and that I was getting a crick in my neck from leaning back against the balcony railing like that and the local lights were fairly bright and that I really wanted a power cut... And the moon was off lurking near the sun - lucky people in India and China with their total eclipse.
But Scorpio was overhead, the Milky Way was calling and the centre of the Galaxy was that little bit nearer.
