supermoon spider bites

I think a spider bit me on the face or near-face region last night during the SUPERMOON which seems like it should give me at the very least a minor superpower.  (do supermoons feel super at all now that they happen 3 months in a row, etc.?)  Nothing yet, I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

Zinnias are wonderful and no one will ever convince me otherwise. So if you've got some problem with them keep walking pal. 

RANDOM FOUR (OR FIVE): 

•I'm sad that So You Think You Can Dance is over for the season, for this was a very good season! I loved this take on the show and how it has changed for the better. The author of that piece has stronger feelings about Adam Shankman than I do, but I 100% agree about the fabulousness of Cat Deeley. She's the best! 

•spider season - I have to admire the optimism of the spider that builds a web across the front door every day. 

•this is the part of summer that is hard. It's still summer in spirit, weather, and fact but the days are getting shorter, the kids are back in school and wah. Winter is coming. 

•Finally watched Season 2 of Game of Thrones. I enjoy it, but it's really murdery.  I have to turn my head a lot. 

•I found a bunch of local garden blogs and am now filled with ideas and a sense of inadequacy! Woo! But I don't mind feeling inadequate to a task (some tasks, I should say)  - it takes the pressure off, somehow. 

Same Zinna picture but different.

and now to bed - I'm sleepy!

fun signing checks

I'm gonna change my name to EQUINOX SUPERMOON.  Or maybe that can be my superhero name - I don't know what powers would come with a name like that... maybe the ability to make day and night the same length? To make the moon appear bigger? The ability to have THE COOLEST NAME, EVER???

I did test out Vernal Equinox Supermoon, but that only lasted about 12 seconds.  Maybe if it was V. Equinox Supermoon, Esq. - Lawyer by day and Lunatic by night in equal measure. I would be undercover and have to stay away from the ocean lest I mess up the tides and reveal my identity with my SUPERMOONINESS. The trouble starts when I have to represent Triton in a wrongful barnacle case and there's no way to avoid the sea. I try to get the case moved to a smaller lake somewhere, but guess what? The judge is a total hardass and my client informed me that he "doesn't do ponds."

(thrilling conclusion: we settled out of court. I discovered that I could fly to the moon, but only on solstice or equinox - so if you want something from the moon, you've got a while to think about it.)
