1. Sewwy.com expired. And then renewed. Happy Birthday, site. You’re getting old.
2. I’ve worked until close every night i’ve worked this week. I’m starting to get sick of one of my coworkers and his lack of responsibility, especially when he, and my managers, know full well I can’t close on sunday nights OR on weekdays except Friday. Piffle.
3. Daylight savings kicked in today. I lost an hour of sleep. Fuck you, daylight savings.
4. October starts tomorrow. This means I have three more weeks of uni. This also means that my exams are in a few weeks. This is making me even more murderous than points 2 and 3 made me.
5. Some new photos at my flickr.
6. My nails look sexy. I love being ambidexturous. *Admires her handiwork*
7. I’ve been having a lot of headaches lately. Lots of headaches is a problem for me - it’s hinting that there’s possibly something wrong. It might be my eyes. I should have them checked again.
8. I finished a book last night. It was good.
9. I’m level 27 in WoW. I’m too addicted to this game at the moment.
10. I’m going to bed. Peace out, bitches.

The September full moon is known as the Harvest moon. It is generally larger, and therefore appears brighter from Earth. It is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.

It is a “Harvest moon” because farmers used to use the light given by the seemingly larger, brighter moon in order to harvest their crops, long into the night.

I bet if you tried, you’d be able to read a book with just the light of the full Harvest Moon.

(Note: The photo featured, whilst it is the september full moon, is not a harvest moon. The harvest moon for the Southern Hemisphere occurs in March, it’s autumn.)

So, I’m sick, again. I went to bed with a mild headache behind my right eye - no biggie, it was because I hadn’t eaten dinner early enough. I woke up at 2am with this headache SEARING. I’ve never had a headache like this one before, and I knew instantly it was caused by something other than my eating too late - those headaches disappear with a nap.

Ontop of this headache, my “late dinner” decided it didn’t want to stay in my stomach anymore :( It took a long time or me to fall back asleep again because of the pain. Today, the headache is still there, albeit not as harsh, but still enough to make me cringe when I concentate on something too hard. It’s the kind of headache that’s located just on half my head, and it stings my eyes. So painful!

I’m staying home today from uni and resting. I have a lab today, but I can catch it up next week, thankfully.

In other news, my wireless problem has been sorted! After all those techie calls, someone more experienced at apple suggested I change the channel my wireless router is set to. Bingo. :)

Im going to go rest for a little while now.

And now the thing won’t even start up.

Kidding. Seriously though, I’ve spent more time talking to tech support this week than I have James or my parents. My brand new apple iMac is still playing up, having issues staying connected to the internet via the wireless internet connection. I called tech support a week ago and thought the problem was solved, but it has started up again. An hour on the phone last night, and an hour this afternoon still didn’t solve the problem - I have to call tech support back tomorrow to be walked through a MacOS reformat and harddrive scan. If the problem doesn’t fix itself after the reformat, it’s likey to be a hardware malfunction.

So disappointing! A two week old, $2000 product shouldn’t be fucking me around… *sighs*

The Freedom of the Moon - Robert Frost
I’ve tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I’ve tried it fine with little breadth of luster,
Alone, or in one ornament combining
With one first-water start almost shining.

I put it shining anywhere I please.
By walking slowly on some evening later,
I’ve pulled it from a crate of crooked trees,
And brought it over glossy water, greater,
And dropped it in, and seen the image wallow,
The color run, all sorts of wonder follow.

Our moon is really an amazing feature of our sky. It causes our oceans to rise and fall twice a day, illuminating our sky, be it as a glimmer during Dusk just before reaching its “New Moon” phase, following the sun into night slumber, or be it in its gibbous or full phase, where it streams enough light to our land - Just barely enough to read by. The full moon causes “lunacy” - The crazed walk the streets under a full moon, dogs howl at it. There are more births as if the pull of the full moon has a tidal effect on the mother’s womb. Our months are originally structured around the full moon and there are people who rely on the full moon as a guide to when to sow seeds and when to harvest. Surely it’s no coincidence that the female cycle is roughly 28 days - the exact time it takes a moon to retreat through all its phases, returning to its full and illuminated state.

Amazingly enough, our moon is the only moon in our solar system, out of hundreds of moons, whose size and distance from its mother planet is a perfect match to completely hide the Sun when it choses to pass through such a path.

Our moon is a truly spectacular object.
