HOOKAAYY! I'm back.. Here's the story. Saturday night, March 3, there was to be the first total lunar eclipse in about 4 years, so I was pumped. My project 365 entry was set, and I was going to witness a natural phenomenon to boot.

Well, long story short, the picture you see to your right was a "test shot" using the fireworks setting on my camera, and it was subsequently the "death shot" to my camera's battery. I didn't have a spare, and the eclipse was just around the corner. No time to fix the camera...I was just going to watch in awe as this feat of nature unfolded before my eyes.

I waited...

and waited...

and waited......

Well, I never saw it. I'm not sure what happened, but I never saw anything out of the ordinary. Maybe, just maybe, I blinked a little too longer than is acceptable during a lunar eclipse, and I was being punished. But what is more likely is that I missed it. Yea, I think that's it.

Either way, my camera's been dead since Saturday, so I haven't had any project 365-esque pictures to bless you with. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is my entry for March 3, 2007. I will have a second posting today including my entry for today, because, thankfully, my camera's battery was miraculously brought back to life using the battery charger that came with my camera.

In other news, life is good, and I'd like to go to Fiji.
