That’s what I’ve been told, time and again. Looking at most beer ads, I’m pretty sure all I have to do is drink that one brand of beer, and I will be surrounded by bikini-clad females, much younger, and heck of lot more attractive than I am. That’s the message, isn’t it? Some of the … Sex sells
Met with other journal writers Sunday afternoon, eventually adjourned from coffee house to Vietnamese food. And while the topic most on the minds and fingertips, and eyeballs, or many of the websites I read, it all seems to be focused on the shuttle tragedy, the topic never really came up. It was a slightly reserved, … Talk about not talking about it
Saturday, being the first means that my temp job requires my presence should I be available. I was. Got out of bed, typed on something for a while, surfed around and hit a few fun sites, then I rolled through a news site. Lost a space shuttle. William Gibson is an author I’ve grown quite … Neptune, Aquarius and the shuttle tragedy
Uranus goes into Pisces? As much as possible, I am avoiding most media. Sure, I read certain websites, but then, I tend to stick to humor and entertainment, ostensibly, under the guise of research for my own work. Sweets for the frontal lobe – certainly not intellectual nourishment. That approach to isolation is becoming a … Uranus goes into Pisces?
It’s taken a whole month to get here. I woke up yesterday morning, thinking about a situation, a planetary/astrological situation that begged for a good metaphor, and then before I even fed the apparently [url=http://www.astrofish.net/cam.shtml]starving cat, I started typing a horoscope.

Classical, classic Americana, and classic techno. All right, I’ll confess, I don’t know what to call the Chemical Brothers. For that matter, Gram Parsons was “alt.country” long before there was ever a term called “alt.country.” So that means that I can’t … Music
Sushi can cure what ails you. Maybe so. Maybe not, too. But it did work out okay. A little bit of sushi, and I had the most interesting offer – see, the sweet Pisces and her friend, a Taurus, gathered me up after a series of one disappointment after another, and we wandered way south … Sushi can cure what ails you
The Diary of Samuel Pepys Looking at the past often times helps foretell the future. The craze of [url=http://www.austin-stories.com/]online journals is not without precedent. While I was in Dallas, we stopped at a Borders Bookstore. Wouldn’t bother with a chain’s name except that one store is in a special location for me, at one time, … The Diary of Samuel Pepys
Dream sequence: democracy: would you vote for it again? I don’t know where this stuff comes from. I had two dreams that I remember, while in Dallas.
