moonrise, 26 january 2013

Amazing video.

I grabbed this from the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) and here's their blurb:

Explanation: Have you ever watched the Moon rise? The slow rise of a nearly full moon over a clear horizon can be an impressive sight. One impressive moonrise was imaged two nights ago over Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. With detailed planning, an industrious astrophotographer placed a camera about two kilometers away and pointed it across the lookout to where the Moon would surely soon be making its nightly debut. The above single shot sequence is unedited and shown in real time -- it is not a time lapse. People on Mount Victoria Lookout can be seen in silhouette themselves admiring the dawn of Earth's largest satellite. Seeing a moonrise yourself is not difficult: it happens every day, although only half the time at night. Each day the Moon rises about fifty minutes later than the previous day, with a full moon always rising at sunset.
 

Cheers!

call me maybe - star trek style

Someone sent this to me, and I had to share.



*goes and laughs self silly again*

Cheers!!

earthquake vid from japan

Hi again.

Yet another "omg, you have to see this" video.  I have no idea how the heck this guy stayed so calm, when you can SEE the ground opening and closing at your feet.




Ground splits and moves during Japanese earthquake - Videos - Graeme Hill - Weekend Hosts - RadioLIVE

I do not want to see that here.  We're only 175 miles from the New Madrid Fault Zone.

Stay safe, everyone.

unbelievable tsunami vid

Hi all...

I found this via a tweet and watched it...you have to see this.  Hopefully this will upload properly.

I'm not sure what geological formation the videographer is on, but it is scary, horribly awesome what this wave does, and I'm sure that he and everyone with him is thankful that they had a place to be safe.

(EDIT: The video was from Kesennuma, Japan, and is now on the Weather.com website.)

Be safe, everyone.

discovery's launch - from an airplane

Hi all :) This popped up on my radar this evening:



From the poster, NeilMonday:

Flying from Orlando, FL I had the rare opportunity to be able to watch Discovery's final launch as it embarks on STS-133.

Very cool!

Cheers!

degrees of bacon separation = 0

Yeah, it's late, but I had to share this with you all before I went to bed. I saw this tonight while watching the finale of StormChasers:



*diez*

Cheers!!

hp dh teaser trailer online

OMG. OMG. OMG!!!

Okay, yeah, I'm a little excited.



Advise that you watch it fullscreen.

Excuse me while I go breathe into a paper bag.

*boing*

Hi all! No, I haven't fallen off the face of the planet. Really. I do have a ton of yarn to review and post and some adventures to share, but I just wanted to let you know I'm still kicking.

Had some computer issues (and phone issues) - Alice, the Mamabear lappy, managed to corrupt itself last night, and I had to do a lot of contortions to get Vista re-loaded to the computer. Damn hidden recovery partitions!! Now I have to re-install all my programs. *wails* Open Office, here I come. The G1 ALSO had to be hard reset last night due to an issue with the accellerometer - and wouldn't you know, I forgot my GMail password for the darn phone? I had to create a new stinking e-mail and everything before I could get into the phone itself. Not a happy camper was I for 7 hours last night.

This'll cheer you up:

It's Tom and Dan at one of the cricket matches during the Ashes series between the UK and Oz:

Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton join Jonathan Agnew for A View From The Boundary, encountering an angry Geoffrey Boycott as they enter the commentary box.

It's funny. :)

Cards are in first *dances* by 10.5 games, I think. I don't remember if the Cubbies are playing this afternoon or not, but we're getting ready to beat up on....*goes to look*.... Pittsburgh. I don't think we should have any problems with them, as they're 24.5 back *cough* but you never know. I'm going to the Stitch 'N Pitch on Sept 14th at Busch - we're playing the Marlins, who are 70-64 right now. Gonna beat up some Pirates this weekend!!

I have yarn from DBNY, CTH, Dyeabolical, My Sister's Yarn, and HL, I think, to review. My house is a disaster area, I'm planning on having guests in October (yes, the cleaning starts this weekend, as it's driving me to drink), and I am looking at new living room furniture. I'm sure NE!Sue will be happy with that.

More on yarn, Chicago (MSI FTW), rude teenagers, dogs, and college football later.

Go Mizzou! Beat the Illini!!

Cheers!

yet another vid

It seems all I do these days is post vids...not much else going on, I'm NOT buying yarn, and Christmas is stressing everyone out.

I did do a few one-shot recordings that are now up on my main site - check out the SpellCast readings and the Deathday Auction one-shot.

Raesive sent me this (she's a Mac person):



They reminded me of Cylons, as well....

Cheers!

sneak peek #1 for hbp

The ABC Family Harry Potter Weekend has already started....and here's a 'sneak peek' at HBP. It looks a lot like the last trailer!



*wants next movie NOW*

*pokes WB with really big knitting needle*

For all of you who haven't heard me babbling about this, I bought a sapphire blue Acer Aspire One - it's a netbook. It's way cool!! And it only weighs 2.5 pounds! I love it!

To bed. Cheers!
