TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A few years back, the commissioners of Kleberg County, Texas retired the salutation “hello” because they said it contained the offensive term “hell.” In its place, they made “heaven-o” the official county greeting. That’s borderline lunatic, if you ask me, and yet I understand the principle. In fact, I recommend that you initiate some adjustments in your own language, Taurus. As much as possible, you should stop using words that make you feel bad, confused, or weak. Replace them with fresh terms that make you feel optimistic and empowered. Of course, this is good advice for everyone all the time, but it’s especially apt for you right now. The astrological omens suggest you have a special capacity for changing deep-seated habits that sap your energy, especially those involving the way you speak.

Action

In college, when I would start to fall asleep in a class, I would start to get really warm.  I put out a lot of heat normally, but when I sleep, this goes up a LOT.  I learned, eventually, to realize that I was getting warm, and thus yank myself out of falling asleep.  This has proven useful to me today at work.

Wonderful, crazy, psychotic, beautiful things are happening.  Always, when it comes down to making a decision, I stop thinking and just make it.  has never seen this before, and she was amazed.

So, now it’s all about action.

Remote control.

Last night, I got completely frustrated with the fact that the VCR remote is -still- missing.  I searched all over the living room, to no avail.  So, during commercials (because I couldn’t fast-forward) of StarGate SG-1 and Atlantis, I straightened shit in the house.  Gaming shit, laptop stuff, stacks of papers and paperwork, etc.  I didn’t get a ton done, but I got enough to make me feel good.  I called in my perscriptions the day they ran out, instead of waiting a week, like usual.  Then I won the ebay auction for the replacement battery for my laptop, and that upped my mood.

Today, bills are written, checkbook is balanced, old product registration forms are ready to be mailed out, and I feel more ordered and stable.  Today after work I’m going to work out.  Three days a week once more, and it can only do me good.  doesn’t get out of work until 11, so I’ll be able to work out, come home, and start dinner before I go and pick her up.  She will have a feast!  This, I declare! :)

Good read.

I just finished a book called Killing Molly.  It was reviewed in the Ann Arbor Paper, was self-published, and was available at the Shaman Drum bookstore in Ann Arbor.  I picked up a copy, and just finished reading it.

It reminds me a lot of and .  It has errors in spelling and grammar scattered all the way through it, but drew me in completely.  It’s the kind of story that they would come up with, too.  I couldn’t find it on Amazon.com, so I can’t link to it.  However, if you can get to Ann Arbor, I highly recommend picking it up.
