^this one I remember watching
That was a few weeks before I started high school
We start high school at 11 here

The sky is extremely clear tonight. I've had a good look several times. I lingered a while from just moments after it became total.

The moon is leaving the umbra, right about now. NICE color - deep reddish orange.

I'm just jealous, don't mind me.   

You need a warmer coat, and I need the clouds to break just for a minute.

I got a shadowy glimpse of a orangish moon through the clouds a few minutes ago, but that's all.  I have the blinds open and I'm right by the window in case I get a better chance to see it.

I remember seeing an annular eclipse before, but I can't remember what year it was.  The shadows under the tree were little crescents right after it was annular.  It was so cool.

I came back in three times to put on more layers, better gloves, a muffler, my arctic parka finally.

I could not have asked for a better view.

Now there's a tiny sliver of bright light, like a sterling silver golf tee holding up a deep orange ball.

Fucking awesome!

The only other person in this whole neighborhood stupid enough to go out is a guy who lives about two blocks away, hippy, gardener, who I trade plants with sometimes. Other than he, no one seems to care.


I wish you guys could see.

I just went back outside. Through the clouds, I can just see a little of the silver sliver of bright light, but no orange now.

You are lucky to have such a fine night to see it.

Going to try and do something today

Will draw, go through my old maps/postcards etc, look at some more I might buy, print off some stuff, and save more things

I might watch a dvd as well, and listen to some music

I was at work when there was a solar eclipse a few years ago. I got to look at it through some welder goggles and someone showed me how an eclipse can be viewed by cutting a hole in a piece of paper and looking at the shadow on the ground.

Good plans. I am trying to work up the motivation to go to the shop and buy some drinks. I want some Coke Zero.

[Sophgay]

I'm trying to get motivation for things as well
It's really hard, but today is probably th best day for me to do it, as my ocd hasn't been as bad

Stupid little things can fuck it up completely for me though, and then I've lost it for ages

Does anyone know of a decent QUIET (!!!) computer case fan I can buy?

I just put in an Antec that was purported to be one of the quiet type, but it's not all that quiet. It really blows though, but it blows in that it's too fucking noisy, too.

I think it might have been quieter at first, but that could also be psychological.


HELP!

I'm tired of sitting in the room with a hovercraft.

i missed the eclipse, being zonked out. 

glad it's over, though - the eclpise energies send people wonky, and might have something to do with my appalling nights for the past few days (last night was better, though, thank fuck  ).

gods yes.  the noise of the pooter drives me nuts.  and as for bunging in a cd to play...

/screams.

Missed the eclipse, too. Cloudy.

[Lucifer]

"ach, the mean old clouds."

("under milk wood").

[ozymandias]

Fortunately we had a clear night to view the eclipse.  My daughter used my telescope with the zoom lens to watch it!

You could try under-volting the fan so that it runs more slowly.  There are guides for how to do it if you look around.

I think I'll go for a water cooling system, an ultra-quiet PSU and as quiet a case fan as I can get away with when I next upgrade my computer.  My computer's getting to the stuck-together-with-duct-tape stage, so the only things that would carry over through the upgrade would be a couple of hard disks and a couple of PCI cards, but I want to get as much life from this setup as I can.
