Hello From_______

The Moon

7/17/2014

Hello there, everyone. Today, thanks to Jill's suggestion, I'm going to be talking about the moon. Okay, not really, but I do have a little survey question for you all. 

Do you think the moon looks more like a rock or a shiny disc? Ignore your actual knowledge of what the moon IS. Imagine for a second that you don't really even know what the moon is. You don't know it's composition. You don't know if it shines on its own or if it reflects light. It's just a thing you see in the sky every night. Now what is it? What does it look like to you? A shiny-looking disc or a big, smooth rock? Please answer in the comments!

So that was a weird tangent, but it's me, so you should be used to that by now.  And speaking of weird tangents, let me tell you about the things you can do with mac and cheese. Okay, so it's really not that exciting, but I made something kind of delicious tonight: Kraft mac and cheese cooked with broccoli, mushroom Prego spaghetti sauce, and Italian seasoning. It was scrumptious. Even my parents thought so! Take that, real world! I may not have prospects, but I can cook exciting macaroni! 

In other news, I'm thinking of moving to Ireland. Their work visa policy seems a bit more American-friendly than the UK's. Thanks a lot, United Kingdom. 

Speaking of Ireland, today's Theatre Thursday selection is from the musical Once, which I was lucky enough to see when I was in London. It's the story of an Irish hoover repair man and a Czech immigrant who find friendship and happiness through making music together. When Jill suggested that I blog about the moon today, I thought immediately of this song:
I watched the movie Once today. I'd never seen it before, so when I saw the musical on the West End, I went into it having no idea what to expect. And let me just say, that's a great way to do things, because it was so pleasantly surprising. The movie was okay, but it was nothing compared to the stage version, which was thoroughly delightful!
And you know what else is delightful? This rendition of Falling Slowly: 
David Hunter is so lovely.

Love,
Anna Beth

I don't know how much of it is due to the fact that I already know what the moon is composed of, but I have a hard time seeing it as anything other than rock. The visible shadows and craters prevent me from really seeing it as much else, though without prior knowledge I would think it emitted its own glow rather than reflecting the sun.
So, glowing rock is my answer. lol.

As a person who (honestly) doesn't know what the moon is composed of (or at least, used to know and has since forgotten), I'm going with shiny-looking disk!
Plus I want some of that macaroni now... nomnomnom
I LOVE THE MOON! (the song and the actual thing orbiting earth) Plus that's a really fun version of Falling Slowly! Thanks, twin!

Hmmm--this is tough to answer, but I would say it depends on the night? When it' a crescent moon peaking through thick clouds, it's like a glowing portal to another world, but on a clear night when it's full it's just as Jill says--a glowing rock

Yeahhhh, it's much too rocky looking not to look like a rock.
