  Taurus
  Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
  You may come into conflict with a stubborn force today who may not
  want to budge one bit from their stronghold, dear Taurus. It could be
  that someone has taken a rather sneaky tactic and gone behind your
  back in order to advance their own aims. Instead of becoming angry or
  jealous, it is best to simply turn this energy inward and
  constructively channel it towards your well-being and your own
  projects.
  
  Gemini
  Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
  This is a terrific time for you to follow through on projects, dear
  Gemini. Most likely, you have about three dozen of them up in the
  air, all waiting for your attention. Now is the time to see them
  through to completion, one by one. You will find that once you get
  started on this task, the completion will be much easier than you may
  first think. Approach each project with a positive attitude, and you
  will have it all done in no time.
  ===========================
  Dreamt about Jen. She and a friend of hers came from california
  because CA was flooding. She was a sorority sister of Laura Bush,and
  the Bushes were still in the Gov's mansion. So she and her friend
  were staying there. I came in and had to tell the person at the desk
  why I was there, an they brought me tea and Jen breakfast. Jen was
  wearing a pink sweater set and a poufy pink floral 1950's style skirt
  just past knee length. Laura Bush had decorated with lots of darker
  colored cat-things. There was a framed cat puzzle, cat cushions on
  antique wooden texana furniture, etc. I complimented her on her
  decoration of the Gov's mansion. Jen's guest room closet was full of
  pastel midriff-baring sweater sets and poufy skirts. It was a wierd
  dream.
  
  Phone rang just before 10, then Tom's phone, then his pager. So I got
  up.
  
  Friends of the Library book sale: Crowded. Found a copy of Englands
  Dreaming for $3. Life is good.
  
  PO box-nothing but junk mail. Feh. Returned the shit Onespirit sent
  me that I didn't order. I guess I'll have to start mailing the card
  instead of using the web site, obviously it's not working. They
  probably think if they ship me shit, I'll open the box out of
  curiousity and end up keeping it even though I didn't order it.
  Sneaky.
  
  Arabic Bazaar on 51st & Duval. Not that great, but OK. Middle eastern
  sweets laid out, I didn't have any. some very pretty, expensive
  bellydance costumes, scarves, jewelry. Nice glassware from Damascus--
  clear colored glass with gold or silver paint in swirly, floral-type
  patterns outside. Nice. Bellydance studio in back of store.
  Apparently there were going to be lessons, but I didn't stay. Wanted
  to go to Dolce Vita for a gelato afterwards, but there was no parking.
  
  Lots of construction on I35. 38th st was all blocked with
  construction. I had a hard time getting back home. It was annoying. I
  was thinking: "Mercury retrograde shit".
  
  My theory on that is that maybe the planetary stuff really doesn't do
  anything except make you aware of the shit that happens that fits the
  celestial influence you're expecting. Interesting how that works.
  
  Like when I used to read Tarot for people in HS and tell them
  straight up 'this is bullshit, you know' and then do their readings
  and havethem look at me in awe and amazement "That's EXACTLY what's
  going on in my life, you are so cool, bla bla". Probably easy for a
  lesser person to get addicted to being 'right' and 'psychic' and
  stuff.
  
  You have to approach all of this with cynicism. Or you'll fall into
  your own little land of delusion. Not worth it just for the great
  regard of silly people. Keep your eyes open, see what's really there.
  Don't cloud your perceptions with expectations and false prophesy.
  
  Anyhoo...that's my day so far. 60% chance of rain tomorrow, so I need
  to go to bull creek & swim today
  
  I had been thinking about calling J...but I don't think I will. I
  don't want to encourage any wierdness in that direction. so he spends
  the weekend bored & lonely. Whatever. Not my problem.
