moon. who decided that is what that spheric creamy, butterball would be named? i really do prefer Luna. tonight i nearly drove myself off the road into a ditch or tree or river gazing at Luna. it is amazing to me that something so distant appears so close and three dimensional. after awhile, i can see the way it peeks through the velveteen blanket. maybe mars and saturn were playing catch and instead of breaking the glass ceiling, their toy was caught in a net of stars. have you ever seen a tennis ball caught in a chain link fence? that is what i am reminded of.
in other news...i'm pondering how some humans can be so intelligent and sweet and such really big dorks at the same time. seriously. i'm sure the same can be said about me at times. i asked my roommate this, and she said that i'm not stupid but i'm a dork about math. i said, no i'm definitely stupid when it comes to math. this after an afternoon spent homeschooling a ninth grader in the "vary d..yada.....constant...yada something" that i don't comprehend. but i did learn that y=kx, and that m (which is slope)=k. i've never seen k before. i have heard of slope...definitely failed a test with such words on it in mathmatical context. i was excited to be given k and y and solve for x. it was fun. (i did not just say math is fun--finding a solution is fun).
i had dinner with an old friend...a thought i was not excited about it, but i found myself overwhelmed with nostalgia just the same. and i talked to the friend of a friend accidently on the phone, and found myself highly entertained, and curious.
