All that is now
All that is gone
All thats to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Well, almost. Actually it was quite the reverse. At 2am, the shadow of the earth slowly began to creep across the surface of the moon in what turned out to be a total lunar eclipse. As previously mentioned, my roommate Matthew and I stayed up to witness this event. It actually turned out to be pretty spectacular, but then again, we don’t get much for spectacular stellar displays around here. The above photograph was taken on a 10 second timer on my front porch. And for those of you wondering, that purple glow in the horizon in the background is not residue from some nuclear toxic dump, but rather the lights of downtown Los Angeles which, even at 2am, significantly obscures any brilliant objects in the sky, save for the constant helicopters!
