star light, star bright.


The moon is kissing venus tonight :)
and I (tried) to take a decent photo of it, as it looks amazing.
I also took a few through my dad's binoculars, which was a smart idea except it was difficult to keep the camera/binoculars still. So in retrospect it probably wasn't such a good idea.

And this was the best one out of them all, when seen in full you can almost see the crators on the moon :) and in my dad's binoculars, they're so powerful you can practically see Neil Armstrong's footprints.


On another note, until this evening I have never feared for my life whilst in the car with my mother.
We had to drop her back in Bundoora at the hospital, and Dad thought it'd be nice to let her drive.
Fuck oath, big mistake! Before we'd even made it to the first roundabout we'd nearly hit every parked car, innocent bystander and unlucky kitty cat there was to be found!
We spent a majority of the journey 20km over the speed limit, AND we tailgated some poor bastard in a white holden for over a third of the freeway.
Once we'd dropped her off, dad said "I think there's a dint in the floor on the front passenger side where I dug my foot in hoping there'd be a brake."
Mum, I thought you were better. After all, you're only in there for another week or so.
But if you're driving like that, you won't live past christmas.

No more cars for you..
