phosfateOooooooooo...atmosphere being mean. You can hear the deep thrum of pounding sinuses from all over the building. "Boy! Bring me an aspirin!" "What, the one as big as me?" "The very same! Here's a sovereign for you."
Went out last night after 11:00. Definite aurorage, though not the blatant fingery fireworks kind. Found a spot on the front walk shaded from the street lights and the Moon (the Moon was loud!), lay down and stared straight up. The sky was opal-colored, the sort of thing we get if it's about to snow and the low wet clouds are reflecting the city lights - but there were no clouds at all, and the stars were sharper than I've ever seen them here. You'd think the extra light would wash them out, but instead it brought them into focus, including many we don't normally see. They kept changing color, most visibly in the mid-range stars and the clustery bits. The Pleiades were pink, then green, then blue, then lavender over the course of a few seconds.
There were also shooting stars. I used to wonder if it hurt them, burning up in the atmosphere, but now I'm pretty sure that a meteor's last thought is, "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Anyway, I lay out there alone in the dark, quietly grooving, until the cold of the concrete started eating through my back.
Neat.

One of mine is a CLAMP. The other two are Sailor Moon S - with lesbians!!!
(The second volume of Clover is part of my new book stash. I hope to read it one day.)
