Does anyone else get that tingling satisfaction when you change the temperature of your shower from hot to almost-cold-but-cold-with-luke-warm-water-in-it???????

In Green Company: Aurora over Norway : Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds – mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the creative featured image was captured as a composite from three separate exposures. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The time was early 2014. Although our Sun has just passed the solar minimum of its 11-year cycle, surface activity should pick up over the next few years with the promise of triggering more spectacular auroras on Earth. via NASA

Curious Thought

I wonder how many people like the boom and the clash of the thunder and the anticipation of seeing another lightning strike like I do.

I made a pun in twitter and realized some feminist stuff. My pun went like this: “I know why we study men in history. It’s because you’re studying his story. That’s why it’s called history.” But thats not all...

I LOOKED MY PUN UP TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ACTUAL THING AND OMG THERES THIS AMAZING THING CALLED HERSTORY. ITS NOT HISTORY IF YOU’RE STUDYING A WOMAN’S STORY. ITS HERSTORY.

I wonder when exactly it was that Star Trek stopped being perceived as light, fluffy, not-really-legitimate sci fi that ~housewives~ liked and started being seen as serious nerd business that girls had to keep their gross cooties off.
