The pink band of light above the horizon, opposite the setting or rising sun is called the Belt of Venus. The lower dark blue band is the shadow of the earth cast upon the atmosphere and is called the twilight wedge. This evening’s sunset wasn’t very interesting, but the Belt of Venus showed up quite well.

Beautiful Day
It was pouring down rain early this morning, when the dogs got me up. It was so disgusting out that I went back to bed for a couple of hours, hoping it wouldn’t be as gross when I woke back up. My plan worked. This has been one of the most gorgeous days we’ve had, yet. The sun has been nice and bright and there has been a nice scattering of puffy little white clouds. I’m not looking forward to hot weather, but after a grey and gloomy winter, I’m enjoying the increasingly sunny days.
With all the rain we’ve gotten over the past week, the grass is starting to perk up. I love the contrast of the intense green against the still-brown trees and the golden grass of the fallow field next door. The dogs are enjoying the tender new grass, too. They both spent a good part of the afternoon grazing, like a miniature herd of baby cows.

Dada Journal, entries from February-March 2005
I was asked how I journaled in a book made from magazine pages, so I thought I’d post more examples from my Dada Journal. Sometimes a visual aid works better than an explanation. These entries were from February-March, during the time when the MoonPie of Delight was in the shop (timing belt and cam shaft bolt/pin). There’s also a rant about new “ergonomic” office furniture (any day now!) and a tangent about the original Star Trek series. I’ve now rewatched every episode and I swear William Shatner flashed his breasts more than any other man in the history of teevee. My theory is that the series ended because they ran out of ways for Captain Kirk to lose his shirt.

I thought I’d add some overall photos of the book. For some reason, Hello is acting cranky. It will only upload uncropped versions of the photos, even though they’ve been cropped, resized, rotated, and saved to an entirely different file. Hrmph. So, we’re going with Flickr. I still don’t like the image sizes Flickr provides. The thumbnails are too small and at 240 pixels, the “small” images are too large. Or, maybe I’m just cranky and need to go take a nap in Baby Bear’s bed?
