Yet Another Virgo

Yet Another Virgo sent me a weird link the other day. http://www.mjl.kellog.home.att.net/. I couldn’t help myself, and the link itself is on the “hotlist” now, called “Austin del Sur.” There were just few words in the description of South Austin that touched my soul. Yesterday’s angst is gone, but not without sniping at a few folks trying to peddle the new age “it’s karma, and it will come back to you.” — Sure, tell the guy who keeps calling me from the one overdue credit card. Check’s in the mail, I promise. There’s nothing like decent flirtation to really make my heart soar, if only for a moment or two. We all have fantasies, what’s yours? Never mind, if it involves making a mess, I’m not interested, not this week. The evening’s entertainment was supposed to be a trip to the grocery store (around here, that can be very entertaining, “Kramer, it was a FREAK show in there)” but that didn’t work out, either. We tried to get down to the bat bridge to see the bats, but that was another lost cause because there was rain, moments before the guys left the bridge and we beat a hasty retreat home. The biggest bummer yesterday was the fact that I finally broke down and pulled on a T-shirt — to go to the store. Turns out we didn’t go, and I didn’t need to wear a shirt after all. That would have been two consecutive days with no shirt. I can’t remember the last time my luck was so good. I’m not any closer to getting my first book published, but I did discover two authors who cite me. I did a plug for their books on the front page. Stay tuned. I also discovered that I was cited in an EML paper about Shakespeare and astrology. Then, I was cruising a Science Fiction link, and there was a reference to a review of novel, and I was quoted from the paper, way back in 1989 or so. That’s what’s dangerous about committing anything to print. Thankfully, it was a good quote.
