Today I ordered my meds during lunch and took them as soon as I could leave work and drive to the pharmacy at the North Dodge Hy-Vee. I'm not sure if it was from lack of sleep or the residual migraine damage or the meds or a combination of all three, but I still felt super high tonight. I went to Mr. Dateman's and we watched part of a documentary called, Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie in high def. All the footage of bombs blowing-up was kind of horrifyingly beautiful in my altered state. Then when I was driving home, I turned the corner and the moon was coming up all blood red and looked almost exactly like this:
Except it wasn't completely full. (I didn't have a camera on me, so I had to steal this photo off of the inter webs) It startled me because it looked so much like the images in the movie. I was tempted to call Mr. Dateman and tell him to look out his window, but it was late and he had to get up early and I figured he'd probably appreciate it more if I didn't wake him up and he could just view it on my blog later on at his leisure .

freaky moon. we live in such a strange world ~ both the moon and the bombs. i had a migraine last night, too. it lead to pain, of course, and strange dreams. i am going back to bed now that the pain is gone, and i hope the dreams are boring.
glad your migraine was kicked. They suck.
The moon has been a strange one this month. I guess because it's full so near to the solstice it's low in the sky. So it seems huge! anyway I missed it last night. No excuse really since I sure was up late enough.
Hope today rocks.
I'm sorry I missed the moon looking like that! Beautiful. Sometimes it startles me when it's a normal color and all full.
I don't think I've ever had a pain-high. I'd rather have a natural high or a wine high. I'm sure you'd prefer that too.
We've seen the moon like that oo and I'm surprised we didn't notice it .. I hope it comes back tonight and I can take some shots of it..
Migraines are not fun.. I use to get them and now I get the type that hurt when it's really humid out.. I have to say "Please cut out my eyes"...
Oh yeah, and TAG! (don't worry, it's fun and easy.)
I think I see ET and the little boy in this photo if I look close enough. Did I just date myself?
egan: it's illegal in at least 7 states to date yourself. :)
Churlita,
I don't know, I think that's a moon worth being woken up for!
Maybe I'll take some of those MG meds just so i can have some good dreams.
Egan: I thought it was a little girl?
It's ok to date yourself in NY.

I need to see that movie, I have heard of it.
I almost took a picture of the big moon the other night, but I got lazy and started staring at TV.
I put the documentary in my Netflix queue.
I love seeing the full or near-full moon low in the horizon. Unfortunately, it doesn't turn out looking the same in pictures.
I am a very moony person and admire it in all its shapes and sizes. Your view of it sounds excellent.
Because I am not familiar with it, I almost want to experience that pain high...but not quite.
Dana,
I hope your dreams were boring too.
Not,
I would have missed it if I hadn't been driving home.
Tara,
Yeah. I'd settle for a different high any day.
Babybull,
I hope you get some great shots.
Egan,
Elliott! There. Now I dated myself too. Now we can both violate state laws.
David,
Ha ha. Which states?
Rel,
Yeah, It was pretty cool.
Evil-E,
It's hard to decide between TV or the moon. TV is so much easier.
ALienCG,
You're right. I can never capture the moon on film the way it looks in the sky.
LB,
Experience the full moon, but not the pain high. It's not worth it.
