4 June, 2012White Knuckles | OK Go
You never get that taste
Out of your mouth,
You never get the paw prints
Out of the hen house now,
And you can’t go back,
Same way you came,
Round all the pieces up,
But they just don’t fit the same
White knuckles:
Maybe it’s not so bad,
So let your hair down now.
White knuckles,
Yeah maybe it’s not so bad,
Aw go ahead and let it down.
So come and let it all out,
Let it bleed.
Did you get what you want?
Did you get what you need?
Behind the lines,
Behind the wall,
Tell me ‘bout the bed you made,
Was it that bad after all?

On this day in 1919, the 19th Amendment passed in the U.S. Senate, and women were given the right to vote.
Remember to exercise your rights, for they were hard-fought!

Partial Lunar Eclipse Monday Sets Stage for Venus Transit
The historic transit of Venus across the sun Tuesday is a must-see for skywatchers, but observers shouldn’t overlook another celestial event that comes just one day earlier — a partial lunar eclipse of the June full moon.
On Tuesday (June 5), Venus will trek across the sun’s face from Earth’s perspective, marking the last such transit of Venus until 2117. In a sort of celestial warmup, the full moon will dive through the Earth’s shadow on Monday morning to produce a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible to observers throughout parts of North America, Asia and the Pacific region, weather permitting.
The lunar eclipse comes two weeks after the May 20 annular solar eclipse that enthralled skywatchers around the world, and that’s no accident.
Solar eclipses are always accompanied by lunar eclipses, either two weeks before or two weeks after. The moon travels halfway in its orbit around the Earth in that time, forming another straight line with our planet and the sun. (In solar eclipses, the moon blots out the sun, while lunar eclipses occur when Earth’s shadow covers all or part of the moon.)
Getting up early to watch this!

3 June, 2012"What did I learn from him? We could be here all night, probably all week, maybe even a month. I learned focus is key, not just in running a company but in your personal life as well. That you should do only a certain number of things great, and you should cast aside the rest."

3 June, 2012Hey Jupiter (Dakota version) | Tori Amos
and this little masochist,
she’s ready to confess:
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel andHey Jupiter
nothing’s been the same
So are you gay? Are you blue?
thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought you’d see with me
you wouldn’t have to be something newSometimes I breathe you in,
and I know you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
if my heart’s soaking wet:
Boy, your boots can leave a mess
