Make a wish!

Whoever is longing to see a shooting star in order to make a wish, do not miss the Perseid meteor shower, or as we know them "the tears of St. Lawrence, the martyr", as per the Italian tradition, which will take place, if I'm not mistaken, predominantly, tonight, from midnight, beginning of August 12th, onwards! Look northeast in the darker areas of the sky, preferrably where there isn't any artificial lighting ... and may your wishes come true!

I don't know who St. Lawrence was but.....
Are those showers will be seen nation wide or just on the Pacific coast will be visible?

Gatchamarie lives in Malta LG so I would assume the shower can be seen world wide.

I look for it every year, myself. THis year I am stuck in the city so I will not get to see it. Unless I am very lucky and there happens to be a very bright shooting star.

:grins:

My wish already came true!

TIFF has booked a new Josh Hartnett movie .. which means the lad will be in Toronto for the film festival!!

YEEHAAA ... My first ever celebrity stalk! :grins: (well actually Keanu Reeves was my first (in '96), but he ended up coming over to talk to me before I could find him, so that didn't count)

Actually ... maybe I should wish that Flash would actually let me go and and hunt down some Hartnett goodness ... hmmmm ...

Okay, I'll be watching the sky..

Thanks for the heads up

SJ, I almost posted this at FB, but wasn't sure how Flash would take it: IF the Blue Jays are in town, get him baseball tickets so he can watch a game while you are stalking.

HAHA ... yeah .. send him to the Rogers Centre with my little Joshie ... I can take off with my recon unit and wingmen to find that sexy man ...

That works!

I must communicate with my network and secure some Jays tickets ... or ... hmmmm ... something ... LOL

Ahh, if you said that on FB, he'd just laugh over it. Flash is cool. As he says to me: Babe. Just remember where your bed is ... I'm in there.

Ah, but this way, you can surprise him or bribe him with them without him being forewarned. But I'll keep that info in mind for the future. Have fun at the film festival!


Marie, sorry for high jacking your thread.

I'll have to see if that's visible from our area, Marie. Thanks for pointing it out!

As long as I know it can be seen worldwide, as CD has said! You just have to be at the right place, at the right time .... you have to look northeast!

Amethyst ... NP! Seems like SJ doesn't need to see any shooting stars, this year! Hartnett is already one!
