Loading ...I used to get so excited by the meteor showers. I still get excited, but there’s nowhere in this neighborhood thats unlit, unless I want to go to crack-alley, which could be exciting, but not the kind of exciting I’m looking for.
And every time a meteor shower rolls around I always tell the story of how my most romantic date ever was watching a meteor shower. Out in an unlit meadow, lying on a blanket and gazing up at the stars. We played a game where we named each falling star we saw, making our way through the alphabet. And then we kissed and we talked and it felt like we’d known each other all our lives.
Yeah, I got me some sweet virgin meat that night.
Hey, did I say that out loud?
No you didn’t, but you did write it in your blog.
Well looks like we’re having another storm tonight anyway. Even if I do go out to crack-alley with a lawn-chair and a .44, I won’t see any meteors for all those clouds.
Speaking of crack, I’m hooked.
Oh wait, that has nothing to do with crack, it has to do with Harry Potter. Yes thats right, I’ve gotten hooked. Harry’s got me. Who do I blame for this travesty? I just finished the second book, and I’ve got to get the rest of the series. Right now.
Buy me a beer!

He, he… All episodes of HP start real, real slllowww.. And then they speed up like lightning and they get to you in my experience!!
Did you get to see any falling stars? I read about it and i entirely forgot about it.
But last week i saw the International Space Station; ISS speeding by! That’s kind of rare! Like a speeding blimp; brightly lit by the Sun.
Yeah, we tried to spend a few minutes gazing up at the GA sky, but even out in the country, it was too overcast. Well, those Perseids will need to be more obvious about what they do… unless they’re trying to slam into the planet which I wouldn’t like to see.
Sounds like you have some lovely Perseid memories. Can’t say I’ve ever gotten any virgin meat by the light of falling stars, but I wish I had…
And we love Harry Potter. JK Rowling has created a great series, and she makes a real effort to show how their lives become more complicated and dark as they grow into adulthood. A series you can grow up with, no matter what the panicky christians have to say about it. They rarely make any sense to me anyway.
Yes, and Monday night we briefly considered gazing up at the Ga sky, but didn’t want to get out of the air-conditioned car.
I’m on the 4th HP book now. Which is why I haven’t written a goddam thing. I was going to write a long post about how much I enjoyed seein’ y’all, then thought “Oh noes… whats gonna happen to harry?” and just kept readin’.
I realised just how little sense Christians make to me when we were in the restaurant Monday night, and saw that sign about how they wanted to take Sunday off to worship God.
I think it’s only fair that we refuse to recognize nature’s meteor majesty when she’s subjecting us to blast furnace temperatures. I mean, a few minutes in that heat and we could just denature into a pile of gloppy water. No sense in tempting fate. The meteors will be back some other, hopefully slightly cooler, time.
Yeah, that always happens to us with HP books, too. They’re engrossing, and you are able to read the whole series now, so you can see what happens! Good idea to wait ‘cuz it was torture waiting on each new book to come out over the years!
Agreed re the christians. I also found that Not Open on Sunday to Worship Jesus sign to be funny and bizarre. The religiosity stuff is bad all over, but it’s particularly bad in the South where they have signs like that. So many of the people who agree with that kind of policy are just so stupid and boring. I can’t imagine it. It would be like reverting to being 9 years old again. No thanks.
