Venus goes through phases. Just like our Moon, she can appear as full as a disk or as a thin as a crescent. Venus is often the brightest object in the post-sunset or pre-sunrise sky, appears so small, and usually requires binoculars or a small telescope to clearly see her current phase. The above time-lapse sequence was taken over the course of many months and shows not only how Venus changes phase but how her apparent angular size also changes. In the middle negative image, Venus is in a new phase, the same phase that occurred during its rare partial eclipse of the Sun in 2004. Fascinating shit huh?

How is the packing going? Grrr... I HATE moving.
remember speedo buffer guy?? well he has his whole buffing buisness and equipment in the back of his little ass car. he was on the freeway in the middle lane doin 45 and a semi rear ended him. motherfucker, bolted on a new back end to that piece of shit. he has so many do dads and trinkits all over that thing, it funny. i parked next to him in the lot today, i get out and his car is singing stone temple pilots at me. i laughed and snapped these pics,....
i went in the shop and asked him why the fuck his car was singing and he said there is a solar panel on the roof so hes able to just let it play his stereo. well, his stereo comes out of a big ass air horn bolted to his hood. hes a goof.
