TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1997, Jody Williams won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to persuade more than 100 countries to ban deadly land mines. When she held a press conference at the end of a dirt road near her Vermont farmhouse, she was barefoot and wore jeans and a tank top. It reflected the unassuming nature that had served her so well during years of dogged efforts to change the world. I nominate this ordinary hero to be your role model in the coming weeks, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your gradual, matter-of-fact persistence will give you the power to make a fundamental improvement in the way your environment reflects your ideals.

Warrior Quiz


I got both of these results, and it asked me to pick one. Instead, I’m posting both:

My sphere is Soldier (Unity in Strength and Action), and my class is Champion (Self-Righteous and Confident).

I am a Campaigner.

You have the mark of the Campaigner upon you. You have strong, self-righteous beliefs, and people who share your ideals. Your strong presence leaves the mark of leadership upon your shoulders, and you probably find yourself being the one who carries the mantle of “Alpha” on his shoulders.

What kind of Warrior are you?

My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Champion (Self-Righteous and Confident).

I am a Hero.

You are true heroic material. You find great motivation in the things you love, and great inspiration in your sense of self-confidence, and your excellence. Once you get your mind set on a goal, you are nearly unstoppable, and given enough time, you will meet it.

Life is Change. Change in Life.

The job interview went exceedingly well. In fact, the guy is shuffling around the second interviews so that I can get one. He’s calling the three other applicants and delaying their interviews until I can get mine.

It’s full time, full benefits, starting at 40K a year. Starting. When it comes to the duties of the job, let’s just say it’s my absolute dream job. Complete and total use of my OCD and computer skills, in one job. There is only one issue.

Relocation to Saginaw would be an absolute necessity.

I cannot pass up this job. I just can’t. It’s too perfect. That, and the houses on fire less than half a block from the Wendy’s where I had my interview. So, I may need to snag you, , and/or you, , to find a sufficiently Dave place to live in Saginaw. Not until I have the job in hand, though.

Fret.

Accumulation of Stuff

Yesterday, I aquired stuff. A DVD player. An R/F Modulator. Blade on DVD. But, let’s start from the beginning.

Work was work. ‘Nuff said there, really. After work was getting the coolant topped off on the car, then picking up from LCC. From there we shot over to Theio’s for a snack, because we were meeting people for dinner around 9, and that’s just too long for this fat man’s stomach to stay empty.

While at Theio’s, we received a call from and heard all the grim stupidity that his mother was dishing him. So, after our snack, we picked him up and asked him to share in my money-spending glee. Best Buy received my funds (and the fee for me using my credit card, those suckers) in return for the DVD player, R/F Modulator, and DVD.

After this, we intended to set up the previously-mentioned electronic goodness, but ‘s father called, and he was almost in town with stuff being moved from D-town. So, we shot over to his new apartment and BS’ed with while the stuff was moved in. I had several geek-gasms at ‘s accumulation of equipment.

Once we left ‘s new apartment, we headed to my place and set up the DVD player and R/F Modulator. Everything seems to work OK. At this point, and show up. Then, as if falling from the clouds (without the splattering and gore), shows up. We split up into two cars and head out to good old Mongolian BBQ. On the way, remembers that we’ve forgotten . I didn’t remember hearing about her coming along before, but most people reading this know how my memory is.

So, Mongolian BBQ rocked, as per usual, especially as empty as it was that late. Then and I dropped off for work and secured seats at Denny’s for the crew. , , and picked up and met us at Denny’s, where much coffee and conversation and mocking was had.
