strange cousin susan

Ah well. The best laid plans of mice and men and all that rot. I’d been planning for over a week to get some photos of the recent lunar eclipse and wouldn’t it figure? The skies were cloudy and overcast all flippin’ day and into the evening and so my grand plans were shot to the ground, very much like that satellite gone bad. The next lunar eclipse is said to occur in 2012, so I’ve got to wait another four years. Knowing my luck, it’ll be flippin’ cloudy and overcast then, too. However, it being a school night and all, it’s likely just as well because as the eclipse was to achieve its totality, I would have been up way way way past my bedtime. Hopefully said eclipse will occur on a Friday or Saturday night next time round.

Something wacky was going on with the comments earlier today (thanks for the heads-up, Mike) and I toyed with the idea of changing the theme altogether and actually did for a split second. In the end, though, I just reinstalled this particular theme and although some of my customization was lost with the overwritten files, it’ll be worth having to futz with that wee bit than having to futz with an entirely new theme.

Things have been more than strangely interesting at the factory these past few days; if I hadn’t just spent a couple hours working on my friends’ website and ultimately ending up with a stiff neck and a headache about to happen, I’d share the rather pleasant-but-maybe-there-are-ulterior-motives details…perhaps tomorrow, barring any unforeseen disasters with my taxes.

I’ve also downloaded a nifty little program that allows me to lift audio from any video format; that’s been running in the background all evening - after a few false starts, it should be grabbing the entire audio track of School Reunion so I can edit it down for a handful of choice lines for inclusion in my ever-growing collection of Who audio files. These current files will feature Sarah! Jane! Smith! almost exclusively because…well, just because.

Because I am a dork and I adore her.
