These are some photos of the eclipse I took with my phone through my dad’s 8” telescope. In the first couple you can see some sun spots (there’s some dust and stuff on the lens, too, but there are some sun spots!). The last one got a little weird, but the filter we had on the lens was almost too dark for when the eclipse hit totality; you could hardly even see it. I just barely got that last one in before it went really dim.
This was seriously one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. It was such a bizarre feeling when the light around us dimmed, despite it looking like the sun was out and shining like usual. The air even cooled down and there was just sort of an eerie look to everything. Some approaching clouds could have ruined everything, but we luckily got a chance to see it all before they overtook our view.
Space rules, man.
Lately…
People say things that are meant to inspire me.
I read things that should inspire me.
But I’m not inspired.
At least I don’t think I am.
Does that mean I haven’t found true inspiration yet?
Or am I just jaded?
This album has been growing on me a lot since I finally picked it up. I guess it just took hearing them live for me to really grasp them. There’s a really good balance of heaviness and catchiness in there. I’ll be that guy that I even I hate by saying it’s not like their old stuff, but I still dig it and really like that Mastodon isn’t afraid to explore new territory and expand their fanbase.
Favorite tracks:

- Black Tongue
- Octopus Has No Friends
