After a month of dreary predictions, my horoscopes are finally starting to pick up and be fun.  Here's todays "quickie."

Quickie: Adding more romance to your life is easier than you think. No partner is necessary.

Then I looked at the "extended."

Adding a touch of romance to your life might not seem appropriate right now, but it might be exactly what you need. You need to smile more often! Remember: You don't have to have a love partner to get more romantic. You just have to start seeing things in a more idealistic, beautiful, and hopeful way. The rest will take care of itself. All you need to do is start to focus on the positive possibilities, and the universe will take the hint. Try it and see!

I can't wait to see the election results tonight.  All the dems in my family are voting for Obama, which they were going to do even before I started harassing them about it.  So I think that bodes well for him, although the polls are shaky.  I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into another New Hampshire and I'll be forced to listen to the Clinton campaign gloat for 4 more weeks.

Unfortunately, I was going to watch the series finale of The Wire first, but they're not putting it up on OnDemand until next week.  Bastards.

So today my horoscope said this:

You should watch out for indulging yourself too much. Have some more discipline.

Snickers

I wish I would have blogged my reaction to the Snickers Charged (tm).  But I didn't.  And now I feel sorta sick and I want to take a shower and watch election returns.  I will say this: don't try this candy bar if you have heart trouble.  Mine is still feeling a little fluttery.

Check out today's horoscopes.  Yes, I said "horoscopes," as in plural.  I get more than one.  Shut up.

Nurture your creative side today by looking for ways to express unconventional aspects of your personality. Typically, you focus on attempting to harmonize, but now you may be better off by seeking nonconformity. No matter how unusual your ideas may seem to others, rest assured that there is a something important in all that you are doing -- even if it isn't obvious yet.

Everyone, in their own special way, is weird -- and that certainly includes you! It's high time for you to admit to it. Trying to fit in with whatever you think is 'normal' will only be a pointless waste of time. What you really need to do is embrace your idiosyncrasies. Don't shy away from feeling odd or out of place. Because not being like everyone else is what makes you unique. No one else has the irresistible combination of sense and nonsense that you have. Celebrate it!

So I guess I'm going to follow my weird today.

My "Free Will Astrology" horoscope for the week:

Art critic Simon Schama prefers not to think of Van Gogh's Wheatfield With Crows as the work of an unhappy madman battling with suicidal urges. Rather, he prefers to see it as the seminal masterpiece of a modern genius who launched modern painting. Without denying that the first theory has some validity, he chooses to emphasize the truth of the second interpretation. I urge you to adopt a similar approach as you evaluate the meaning of recent events in your life: Don't repress the pain they unleashed, but on the other hand, play up and celebrate their gloriously redemptive aspects.

Today's horoscope:

If you are uncertain about how someone feels, ask them for clarification. Even if this makes you a bit uncomfortable, it will be better in the long run if you know where you stand. But it won't work if the other person feels pressure from you, so approach the subject as gingerly as possible and without any attempt to coerce the answer that you might want to hear.

On a somewhat related note, did y'all notice that I have a counter map now?  That's about as close to a hit meter as one can get with Vox thus far.  I couldn't help but notice that there's a dot where Silent Bob lives.  So Silent Bob, if you're reading this, I think you should tell me.  Like, um, I did when I google stalked you and found your blog. *sigh*  Ain't life in the new millenium grand?

But anyway, comments and site counters are two things that I always swore I'd never have on my blog and lookee here, I gots them and everything's been cool thus far.  Huh.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.  Within about 20 minutes today, the following were brought to my attention:

(1) "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

(2) Dead reckoning (DR) is the process of estimating one's current position based upon a previously determined position, or fix, and advancing that position based upon known speed, elapsed time, and course.

(3) " Mercury, the planet of agreements, communication, and contracts, is due to go retrograde from June 15 to July 9. Mercury in this mode is known to bring delays and confusion, and you will begin to feel the static in the air as soon as June 6, well before it actually retrogrades on June 15.... ... Why would the Universe give us Mercury retrograde? Because to move forward it is sometimes necessary to backtrack and reconfigure our paths in life. It is important to reconsider, repair, reflect, and reconnect."

You know, I look back to where I was and I see where I am going and I think I'm doing pretty okay.

I have been in the most crazy, nihilistic and borderline self-destructive mood lately, Gentle Reader.  It's been fun!  Really!  I haven't felt like that in years.  I don't know if I came out of some sort of low grade depression that I'd been in for a year or so OR WHAT, but ever since around March I've been....well, I don't want to say an emotional wreck, because that doesn't quite do it justice.  It's more like I've had emotions.  

Now it's transforming into a generally giddiness and it's all I can do to stop myself from (a) hopping in a car and driving towards the sunset, stopping only for gas and Mt. Dew, or (b) cutting off all my hair and dying what remains bright purplish blue.  Whee!  I think my mood can best be summed up by this snippet from my horoscope this morning:

'Loose cannon' doesn't quite describe the way you're feeling -- but it's pretty darned close. That, and 'loaded for bear.'

Also, maybe it has something to do with my mood, but I let out a little squeal when I read about Robot Chicken: Star Wars this morning.  June 17!  Mark your calendars!
