dont miss the meteor shower tonight!


"Viewers along the northeastern coast of the United States and Canada, as well as people in Europe and western Africa might get to see a possible "outburst" of as many as 100-600 meteors per hour. This spike in activity is predicted for 11:45 p.m. - 1:33 a.m. EST on November 18-19 (4:45 - 6:33 UT on November 19)" (from planetary.org)

also, 10 cool facts about meteor showers here

so excited

update: no meteors for me :-(
gus and i went to the park but it was impossible. too cloudy and artificially lit. boston. bostonians are very angry i hear.
but this morning i woke up and i remembered the most amazing dream. seriously. i dreamt that me and gus were waiting for them but this time it was on a beach and there were other people as well but we didnt know them. then the sky suddenly became somehow bright as if its dawn, and the clouds became light violet. there werent that many of them. and then the meteors started one after the other and i would get so excited and point to them with my finger 'gus look look its right there!' and he would look and then another one would come and i would get more excited. and everone went crazy at the same time, you could here the screams starting in concert then fading. and they were not all the same, the meteors. they had either a reddish glow or a greyish silvery one. and finally i looked to the left, and there were four silver ones moving upwards (strangely enough), and a bigger reddish one, moving downwards past them. it was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. and they would all splash into the sea and make a little tiny explosion like the ones you see in animes.

That’s so beautiful... The psychologist in me would say that the dream was a sublimation of an orgasm. You projected it onto the cosmos (the sky, the sea). It is so intense that it acquires a life of its own, with incredible manifestations, something the whole universe can witness along with you. The moment where you see four silver stars moving upwards and a reddish one moving downwards is key, since this is the instant where all laws of physics and nature disappear, and the world just becomes pure unadulterated art. But no, what you wrote is too beautiful for such limited explanations.
