Shirley's Birthday

Last week we celebrated Shirley's birthday at her mother's apt. (her mother cooked the most delicious Arroz con Pollo!!) and so I got to hang out with some old co-workers and friends...

My Horoscope for the Week of Aug. 17th

I love reading my horoscope courtesy of Free Will Astrology (see my links to check your own)each week, but this week I found it particularly true, because on Tuesday night, my sleepless night, I had a similar talk with myself at 5 in the morning and so for this to be my horoscope for this coming week, well that just confirms the truth of it - this so states what I'm feeling right now:

"Novelist Jeanette Winterson told a TV interviewer about her mother's strongest belief: "You can be happy, or else you can be like normal people." This idea applies to you right now, Libra--maybe more than you realize. From what I can tell, you're at a crossroads in your relationship with happiness. You could go either way, and it's mostly up to you: Will you tame your urges for wild joy, repress your instincts to follow your lyrically crazy heart, and surrender to the dull insanity of the maddening crowd? Or would you prefer the scarier, more eccentric and action-packed route that will constantly push you to enlarge your capacity to feel good? "

I'm so excited!

because I am going to the Renaissance Faire on Saturday!!! Do you know how much I LOVE Renaissance Faires? First of all, you should know that I was born in the wrong century. Or if you believe in past lives, I am just missing the life I lived in 16th century Scotland/Ireland/England. HA!! That's why I love all that stuff so much: the costumes, the jewelry, the swords, the Knights in Shining Armor...the men in ponytails...sigh...

Then, because we are renting a car to go up there, we are possibly driving somewhere else on Sunday - maybe the beach again? LOVELY.

And - tomorrow: BLOCKHEAD FRIDAYS REUNION! We have missed Justin, oops! I mean Vox so much that we have scheduled this Conspiracy Corner Get-Together (minus the Magpie) - that is just one more thing to be happy about, besides the PERFECT weather here lately...I just sat outside for almost an hour, drinking my OJ just so I didn't have to go back inside...well I was sitting outside to spy, but that's another story, not for bloggie consumption...

Vox Revealed!

I don't know if any of you read VoxInfo (see my links) but if not you should! Many of you have asked "who is this VoxInfo?". Who is he? Well, I've finally obtained a much sought-after and rare photo of the reclusive and private Vox - he's gonna rock your body!:

Pooped!

That's me...Does anyone else besides my mom use that to indicate that they are tired? Maybe it's just my family...

I went to bed at 11pm last night, only to wake up at 3:30am, wide awake and not able to lie in bed anymore...damn IT! I was sleeping very soundly so I'm not sure why I woke up, but DAMN IT. All was not lost because I decided to go to the couch and watch some tv to see if that would help and lo and behold, there was a movie on that I've always meant to rent on IFC, The Wisdom of Crocodiles with Jude Law (before he became cheesy). I missed the first half hour of it, but it was on until 5am so I had to see it through to the end and I still wasn't falling asleep anyway...I think around 7 I conked out and then of course - woke up late! Which means I got to work late. But OH WELL. Looks like I'll be crashing around 8pm tonight - I'm soooooooooooo sleepy. It's looking to be one of those days.

Anyway. On to the massive amounts of coffee and work work work.
