Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

From the "Well I'll Be!" category: Pluto's features could have names like Mt. Tardis and Vader Crater - CNET

Sunday net surfing yielded this little snippet. I found the original at Yahoo Science News....
"The folks behind NASA's New Horizons released a list of the most popular suggested names for places on Pluto that shows sci-fi and fantasy fans are getting plenty of representation."
I actually think this is cool. Why not use things that are current in culture as related to the SF Space-Time Genre? 
The last paragraph was this little gem.............................
"I'm kind of hoping that NASA doesn't discover any more planets at this point because we're going to run out of decent names somewhere down the line. I dread the day when NASA announces the discovery of a new planet named Hubbard and names its largest structure Mt. Michael Bay."
Both quotes are from the author, Danny Gallagher.
The entire article with a cool CGI picture are at the link below.
