TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have underestimated how much happiness you are capable of attracting into your life. Believe it or not, this artificially low expectation has cheated you out of your fair share of joy, pleasure, fulfillment, and a sense of meaning. Your assignment for the next four weeks is to jack up your levels of happiness by at least 20 percent. Work hard at this task, Taurus — at least as hard as you do at your job. (The greater your effort, the more cosmic assistance you’ll receive.) To get started, divest yourself of a mediocre thrill that distracts you from an intelligence-building excitement.
Operating Systems are Cultures?
Linux has made me realize how much of an American I am. I am getting all fussy because things are different from the way I’m used to them. Because they’re foreign to me. Some people say that configuring Linux and dealing with the oddities is fun. I think they’re insane. It’s hell. But it is worth it. The ability to smoothly move among different platforms and different cultures is much more gratifying than the ease of having everything be the same. Windows and Mac os’s (9 and X… they’re really completely different countries) isn’t enough. I need to be worldly in my OS familiarity.
I need to shave.
I didn’t get any cleaning or shopping or writing done yesterday. Grrr. Today is the StoryTeller meeting. I should really get it done today.
I’m going to a rave soon. >:) Check this out. It’ll be the first in a long time. E-mail me if you’re planning on going. :) *hop*
Dream a dream of fanciful seas…
Last night I cleaned out half a sink of dishes and paid all of my bills. I have a feeling that the trend of distracting myself through cleaning will continue. Other half of the sink, the kitchen floor, and the bathroom all need attention.
The bedroom will be a major project, as I will need to find a place for all my transformers and my dragon statues. Which means furniture. I already need a seperate stand for VHS tapes and DVD’s. I need a kitchen table (I can put transformers there) and I need a better table thing for my TV, VCR, and consoles.
My sunburn has faded to a very dark tan, excepting for a little red in my face. By tomorrow, I’ll be very close to back to never-sees-the-sun white. The funny thing is that I don’t know which I prefer any more.
My brother has been crashing at my place, and it’s kind of wierd. This just re-inforces the importance of living alone.
I dreamt the dreams I wanted to after I hit snooze this morning.
Madness Quotient
i tend to speak in riddles, and getting a straight answer out of me is indeed a notable moment. while i may act a little crazy, i am actually quite lucid and tend to be the voice of reason. my sanity is in a good balance with my insanity.

Update.
Results of weekend: Less messy, a *fantastic* first game, relaxation, and major sunburn.
I’m not sleeping well. I think I need to ward my apartment. Perhaps to keep in as well as to keep out.
I’ve signed up for a spring semester class on Buddhism. 300 level Religious Studies. I have encountered much retardedness from the Office of ISP as to weather or not a specific class is offered. Looks like I’m left to my own mad skills(z0rz0rx0r) to figure out what the deal is, and get signed up if it’s not full.
It’s a beautiful day outside. I could live in this day-long dusk forever, I think.
Exodus
Three people are leaving CoreComm. One in Help Desk, one in Business Services, and one in Tech Support. They all have my support, and I’m happy that they’ve found things they’d rather do.
I’m not leaving yet. This bothers me.
I’m going to Mongolian BBQ at 11:30 to wish our Helpdesk person happy trails. Good food, good times, I hope.
Today…. today, things in my head and in my life are messy.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tune in, please, to all the nagging itches that fester in the back of your mind and at the bottom of your heart. For now, do not attempt to scratch them; do not judge them; do not visualize them as frustrated desires whose purpose is to drive you mad with longing. Instead, Taurus, simply regard those nagging itches with reverence and curiosity. Give them room to breathe and allow them to speak their truths. Surrender to the fullness of the emotions they stir. It may take an hour or it may take a few days, but if you persist in this approach, the nagging itches will become your brilliant guides. They will instruct you as to what questions you most need to ask and they will show you how to move in the direction of the blessed answers.
