Maybe they'd have to hold each other when it rose, all organe and full and close. Maybe that's where our romantic notions about the moon first came from. Two people holding each other to keep their hearts from breaking, because everybody they knew was dying in the cold rocks and dust piles a quarter million miles away...

I totally just distracted myself for a short while with this feature I discovered on Amazon.com. They have these things called "purchase circles," which are basically just localized - or rather categorized, since they do organizations as well (like businesses and universities) - sales rankings. It's amusing to see how the book sales are totally a reflection of the local culture. For example, Silicon Valley overall is interested in pop intellectualism and food, while Mountain View is obviously a tech- and foreigner-heavy region and Sunnyvale just makes no bones about its geekiness. In the meantime, my hometown keeps itself occupied with fiction and nonsense. :)
