The moon loomed large last night

August 19th, 2008

I almost didn’t take any photos of the moon because my camera wasn’t on me. Then I said to myself, “Jessica, it’s 9 pm. If you can’t muster up the energy to run into your apartment, grab your camera, then drive half a mile down the street to get a good photo of the moon, you’re getting OLD.”

I would’ve just walked the half mile, but someone threw a rock (or something equally heavy) at my car while I was driving down that stretch of road to get the camera. Plus it was past dark. I’ll just admit it: I was scared.

“Luna” means moon. That’s where the word “lunatic” comes from. If I wanted to be really cheesy I would’ve titled this “The luna loomed large last night.” Or “The lunatic loomed large last night.” The lunatic being the person who threw something at my car–not me!

If I was an artist I’d say these photos get crazier to show the moon’s effect on people. But I’m not an artist so I’ll tell the truth–I couldn’t get a clear photo so I just had fun with it.
