Hi there! I love polka dots, jelly, and Greek mythology. And I would like to add that A Midsummer's Night Dream is the best play ever written. That is all.

Super Perigee Moon!

Did you know that a few days ago (March 19 I think) the moon looked 14% bigger than usual? It's called a Super Perigee Moon, and it was the first one since 20 years or so! The normal moon is apparently called Apogee. Unfortunately the day the moon was coming out it was foggy so I didn't see the moon at all! So sad. It was supposedly going to look red, and it did! Look: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1900.html
Isn't that a great picture?

I wonder when the next one will be.
