Now that it's passed...

So, we got to see a "super blue blood moon" in North America this morning.
My free-association / punning mind thought "if one is a blue blood, one is nobility, so a super blue blood must be royalty - probably a princess"... and I started thinking of the "super blue blood" moon as the "Usagi moon".
And I've had the original anime's opening theme stuck in my head ever since.

Heh. Yeah, I can envision that chain of associations. I won't reproduce it, though, because last thing I need right now is the theme running through my head for the rest of the work day.

Unfortunately work does come first. I find I only have a certain number of creative hours a day, and programming counts as creative. It makes it pretty hard to write anything for myself, unless the muse is being especially insistent.
I don't mind having that theme song stuck in my head, though I only know the Japanese version and not the questionable rewrite.

Curse you and your shower of ice water reality, Rob, Labs.
But then, my previous message was intended jestingly. That's why I marked it with a smily.
