I was awake this morning at 3:00 am, just when the earth covered the moon, but I didn't hear about the Lunar Eclipse until I got into work today (because I'm ignorant of news and events). I believe that the moon affects us in ways that we can't even know about. Below are just a few of the byproducts of last nights lunar eclipse in my life...

1) Website dissappears (did anyone notice this besides me?)
2) Bank "forgets" to pull funds from my savings to cover my overdrafted account (OK, so it's my fault for overdrafting...but even Banker Guy admitted it was the moon)
3) Period four days early (definitely the moon)
4) Egregious salsa dancing (not necessarily the moon, but I just thought I'd throw it in there)
5) Friends mysteriously out of town (again, that's probably because it's August and everyone's on vacation or at Burning Man, but I just wanted five things)

Just for today, I can blame the lunar eclipse.

...not the movie ("The Crazies"). Although, I might go dig it up on Netflix. I could use a poorly titled horror movie at this moment. I was even tempted to go see "The Devil Within." Stories about possessed people could surely speak to my personal struggles with PMS. Add a full moon to the mix and I could use an exorcism. Fortunately, I have a lot of chores.

Just for today, I have the Crazies.
