Not 12% larger than normal, the article said 12% larger than it sometimes is. It's actually 12% larger than the smallest it can get, or 6% larger than normal. (I blame whoever put out the press release for this - I hate it when scientists do that!)
Here's a site that has a 2 pictures of the Moon, one at apogee and the other at perigee: http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Lunar-Scenes-Apo-Perigee.htm

Wouldn't have done us much good here in Maryland -- rain and overcast through the weekend.

I was looking at it when it was rising, and I thought it looked really big and beatiful. (I am in South Africa and it rose about two hours ago)
