Arrrgh, a total lunar eclipse LAST night? I MISSED it? I was only working a half day today, so I would have done with a little less sleep just to show Eric something this cool.

For those who either missed it the first time or forgot, party tomorrow at my newish place. I can't imagine anyone reading this who I don't want there, as this is not exactly a high traffic journal.
