Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Every relationship has its own unique soul. The way you fit together with another person — whether it’s through romantic intimacy, friendship, or collaborative work — should be allowed to find the idiosyncratic identity that best suits the special chemistry between you. It is therefore a sin to compare any of your partnerships to some supposedly ideal model. Fortunately, you’re in an astrological phase when you have a certain genius about togetherness. May I suggest that you devote the next few weeks to helping all of your important bonds find their deeper meaning?

Tweak

Sometimes, nothing bothers me more than the incompatible timelines in the Transformers universe. Comics lines, TV lines… The War Within, G1, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Machines, Car Robots/Robots in Disguise, Armada… shared characters, names, attitudes… but not a shared universe.

There is no shared history.

I’m just on this side of reeling, and it feels good. The slightly dizzy feeling of spinning around and around, but not with the terrifying lack of control over myself.

My dear tortured automobile has finally been released from its prison, and is running better than it was when I purchased it nearly two years ago. I am grudgingly giving the dealership some respect, though I’ve been through the ringer in this whole situation. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced the face to the car’s stereo. If I ever find Murphy, I’m going to sic on him.

I have an application submitted for a retail position, with standard retail dumbness, but it’s a job. I plan on getting up in the early morning tomorrow to head down to Trade Development to get more leads. Good news on a similar note, is now gainfully employed at a specialty toy store.

Off to do laundry.

Have you ever been to the Great Lakes Diner? It’s a fantastic place here in Lansing. I’ve just come back from a visit there with my parental units, and things are pretty good. They could be better with my financial situation, but things are definitely looking up.

There’s this red and purple mark on my neck. Right where my neck meets my shoulder. I’m grinning, and that’s all I have to say about that.

I think I’ll begin re-reading the Wheel of Time now, as the release date for the new book has been pushed back until January. The bastards.

Fortis has been contacted, and should be sending me paperwork on their health insurance for individuals. What does this mean? Blood pressure medicine for Skippy once again. Could be a good thing. ;)
