Lunar eclipse and possibly other things

Top o' the mornin' to ya! Or something.

I don't know if you know, but next week there will be a lunar eclipse. And not just an eclipse, but a total lunar eclipse. The moon will turn red, apparently. And I am hyped. Because it is visible in the USA. You can't see it there, sorry. Here's a graph.

If you're in the reddest area you can see the who thing and on the others the sun/moon will rise/set before the whole thing is over. As you can see I will be able to see almost the whole thing (at least the really interesting part, huehue).

So when is it then? Next week, Monday-Tuesday night. That is Tuesday morning to you. UTC time 4:55-10:36, with the full eclipse 7:08-8:23. Maximum eclipse at 7:46. That is 3:46 my time. And I have every intention to stay up and watch it. Ok, maybe like sleep from 9 to 3 and then go and watch it and then go back to bed for a few hours. Seems like a plan, eh? Unless the weather is flipped up and if it is I will kick some ass.

Also, there is apparently this great prophesy about the Blood Moon in Christianity for a change. This eclipse is the first of four eclipses this year and the next and apparently after the final eclipse is over Jesus will walk the earth again and then Armageddon will be a-go! Or something. There's a wikipedia article, it's kinda funny.

Personally I think it's super cool. The Blood Moon. I've always wanted to see one, I'm so excited. I really wanna include a Blood Moon in a story about something....Oh! OH! Little Red Riding Hood, oh this is perfect! Remember that story I told you about way back in November? The one for NaNoWriMo I never did? It has a huntress Red Riding Hood and a werewolf this would be perfect! I still don't know what's happening but aw yiss, this is so happening! Someday. In the future. Possibly...

While on the topic of stories, I really wanna talk about dragons, but I don't know what about them. Uhhh. I had an idea about the realms/dimensions/universes, but what was it... ummmm..... Something about the portals, uh. So I guess you can access any world easily from White Island if you know how (see the Queen creating portals herself) but to access White Island from outside you either have to be a super duper hyper powerful wizard or sth or it must happen by chance. Like with Cinnamon, although she was probably somewhat drawn to that place because of her heritage. Idk.

I think this'll be a series. In the first part Pin gets the dragon, goes to the castle, joins the Riders, makes friends, finds out about the King's plans and runs away with Carina, who does not want to be there. Oh, Carina is the leader of the Dragon Riders, badass mofo who takes shit from no one and who could probably take over the world alone, if given a reason to. But she has a strong sense of justice and is kind and even friendly once you get to know her better. She's just kinda hardened by the army life. I'm still kinda working on why they even have an army if they're not in war... Maybe there's like monsters or something. Though I don't really like the idea of that, because I like monsters that aren't actually monsters, but I guess there's good guys and bad guys idk. It's a work in progress. Thoughts, comments, ideas?

I'm gonna go now. Bye.

Pie out.

  1. They have an army because countries have armies, even if they're not in war. Just look at Finland. Or, I guess, any other country in the world that is not in a war.
    Also, about the blood moon thing: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370419
