I pictured something clean and dry - I thought that it would purify

I would say that this was my favourite Thin White Rope song, but there are too many to choose from :) Rediscovered classics from the TWR jukebox:

• The Ruby Sea (I've been trying to travel down, through the false surface of the ground)
  
• Hunter's Moon (instrumental)
  
• The Clown Song (seems I have been a clown more than a friend, a clockwork response to the tokens you spend)
  
• Atomic Imagery (see subject line)
  
• Elsie Crashed the Party (entire damn song: here)
  

While listening, I snagged some pretty neat quotes:

"writing and design are no longer separate activities but become different moments in a single creative process" (Taylor and Saarinen, 1994)

"our ideas of perspective and reality are conditioned by the culture and time in which we live" (Morgan and Welton, 1986)

Plus I remembered that I've now seen Mars, Hale-Bopp and a solar eclipse. Which is pretty goshdarn neat in my opinion :)

I had the chance to see a total lunar eclipse with no clouds this past 16 May. The eclipse lasted about 3 hours, spent 45 minutes in totality, and I didn't have to lose any sleep! Swanky!

Yeah - that's pretty neat. I've never seen a lunar eclipse. Well, only a very partial one. I have to admit that most of those things I've only seen by accident - I'm too forgetful otherwise. Every year, I plan to go and see the Severn Bore, about 10 miles away, and every year I miss about 10 windows of opportunity *sighs*

I got to meet Mr. Bopp (Hale-Bopp Bopp) at the Montreal Planetarium just after the comet flew past. He was giving a talk with Mr. Levy (of Schumacher-Levy 9, the one that crashed into Jupiter).

It was very cool.

That's pretty cool, and not all that random :) Glad to see you arrived in Newfoundland in one piece - how are you settling in?
