new used gibbous bilious sullen boorish richard's poor almanac stargazing this week by richard thompson virago spot lacto the milk carton spirochete teleprompter speculum the big zigzag puddingcup rictus gary the cvs assistant manager spinalzo jellomold hello stargazers! well, this week the night sky is a mess, an incoherent mishmash of mostly second-rate constellations. frankly, i've done dot-to-dots on the kids menu at bennigan's that were more compelling. also, the planets are all clumped up in one corner, including some that don't even belong in our solar system. this seems unnecessary, wasteful even, and is best ignored. meteor: phut house: "chapter one - the infomercial" finally, the annual "insipid" meteor shower promises fitful glimpses of random flaming space lint. why bother? go watch tv, or work on your novel, or both.

I’m working on a novelization of ‘Gilligan’s Island,’ but with a twist. Think “Dr. Moreau” meets “Lord of the Flies” with a dash of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

The gibbous moon is approaching, followed by the parties and the bilious moon.
And if I don’t get what I want for Christmas, there will be a sullen moon and a boorish moon.
Who needs Nostradamus. Richard Thompson had it all worked out.

If you’re interested in something real, look up in the south after it gets dark. You’ll see a pair of “stars.” The bright one, to the lower right, is Jupiter, and the dim one, on the upper left, is Saturn. They will keep getting closer together until Dec 21, when they’ll appear closer than they have been since when Galileo was alive! Fun to show to the kids. If you manage to hold a good pair of binoculars steadily enough (prop it against a pole or something), you can just make out Saturn’s rings, and maybe a couple of Jupiter’s moons. Easy to see with even a small telescope.

Definitely second-rate constellations. Maybe they’re just visiting, say, from the Southern Hemisphere, where they don’t even have a North Star, for gosh sakes!
