Fun in the Dark - Page 2

Actually, it has felt like that for the last week and I'm confused as to why. I catch the bus home at the same time every day. It had made it to the point where it was dark by the time I got there.

But as of about a week ago it was still light when I got there. I think the equinox got lazy and just bagged it in early this year.

I've noticed that in years past and looked it up. What actually happens is that sunrise moves later too, so sunset can get later while still having a shorter day.

Actually, through a quirk that happens once in a while, the sostice (i.e., the longest night) is actually tonight, the 22nd, rather than the usual 21st.

So if you missed taking advantage of the longest night to do something dark, or the shortest day ever for last-minute Christmas shopping, you haven't missed the opportunity yet.

Well - in that case, I'll be watching Edward Scissorhands tonight, seems appropriate enough.

Ah, well tonight I'm planning to have some flaming cheese, so that seems suitable.

Hmmm...I dunno what to do. I wanna do something cool and spookily dark.

I'm gonna drink myself blind... just kidding

I did get knocked semi-conscious today by a windblown umbrella - thankfully it wasn't Christo-sized, or I might be an Ex-CoasterMatt

Wow, all the way up to semi, eh?

I meant to say semi-UNconscious...

Mild concussion...
