A lunar eclipse event transpired on Wed. evening as noted by more than a few newspapers, astronomy user groups, and people in my studio. Apparently the event was not visible in Berkeley as the Berkeley Hills were blocking the moon, which I assume was laying low in the horizon (conjecture). All I know is that someone in our class went up to Wurster Hall's 9th Floor, looked out every damn window, and could not find a crumb of evidence pointing to a lunar eclipse.
Apparently the next lunar eclipse will happen sometime in 2010. I guess I will have to wait. Hell, why not just skip that one, too, and hold off to see this thing until 2012? Either way....
Other events of the week: This afternoon, around 4:30 PM, I enjoyed a private nap in my office. I have keys to one of the shared lecturer offices on my floor. No one really uses the office save for me. I am thinking of equipping the room with a mat of sorts, pillow, and fuzzy blanket - supplies that will increase the quality of my napping. Right now I just nap in a seated position leaning over the desk (it's okay....the chair is height adjustable, so it is more comfortable than it sounds). I came back from my nap happy and well-adjusted, ready to face more hours on the computer. I saw my studio mate Sam sleeping on his studio desk, looking terribly haunched over and labored by the whole process. I feel bad for him, but I can't just be lending out keys to my office willy nilly.
During the weekend I visited the stately Stanford Theater with Jason to see "Spellbound" starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. I was most impressed with the venue.
That is all. It is late and I must retire.
