tonights a big night, at least in my world. its the annual Leonid meteor shower, 8:45pm PST in the northeast sky. every year Im outside for the showers, in August, September, November - hey Im easily entertained. it seems its unclear whether this year will be a good shower of meteors or not (big shocker - does anyone know anything for sure?).

WTF! I know I wasnt expecting people to be reading my myspace.com/scottmonteith blog over the last couple months when I havent written a freaking thing (its this blog posted there). my ass was busy getting my place ready for the open studio weekend. it was good, it was bad and it was ugly too. so tonight, while Im thinking of how my ass is still not doing enough to live up to my potential, Ill be watching the stars and wishing for a better world outside my own.

If you are Muslim you can sleep well tonight. Pope Ben is sorry that Muslims have reacted badly to his restating and reaffirming what some older, deader guy said in the 14th century. Basically what Mel Gibson said about Jews when he was drunk, that they started all the wars in the world. Its a good thing there were never any Christians that killed people in Gods name who were non-Christian ... or tried to change the Constitution to keep "sinners" from having equal rights and being treated like every other human in the world. And its good that there arent any Muslims setting fires or bombing churches in protest because that would be a little ironic. Dont you think.

At least Galileo can sleep well tonight.
