TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Jaws” is the most common name for pet goldfish. Take your cue from this fun fact, Taurus. Identify the mildest, tamest, most passive part of you, then push it in the direction of becoming more daring, assertive, and courageous. If it helps to give that part of you a nickname like “Jaws,” by all means do so. Halloween costume suggestion: a shark, Tyrannosaurus, dragon, or football player.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In Buddhist tradition, bodhisattvas are seekers who put their service to others above their personal goals–even above their quest for the supreme peace that comes from enlightenment. In the eight-century prayer “The Bodhisattva Path,” poet Shantideva wrote, “May I be the doctor and the medicine/ for all sick beings in the world/ until everyone is healed.” That’s a high standard to live by. In asking you to try it out for a limited time, I’m not expecting perfection. But my analysis of the astrological omens suggests that the people in your life fervently need you to be a source of strong medicine. More than that, you need to initiate the changes in your life that will ensue if you make yourself into a soothing balm, a potent remedy, a love tonic.
Hit me with that meme action.

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.
1. In the fourth and fifth grade, I played the viola. I was told that I had great musical talent, but I despised the practicing.
2. A long time ago, I used to doubt if I had the ability to feel emotion. The ironic part is that I would have these giant emotional outbursts/breakdowns randomly.
3. Autumn is my favorite season.
4. Now that I can tell when my hands have dried out, I find myself craving lotion/moisturizer. Once again,
5. My favorite kind of lunch meat is olive loaf.
6. I don’t understand vicious competition – the kind where you don’t just strive to win, but actively attempt to make others lose. It angers me.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Roy Rivenburg writes in the *L.A. Times* that there has recently been a rash of mannequin assaults. He cites four people who have been struck by falling dummies while shopping in clothes stores. For example, one victim was hit in the head by a mannequin’s arm when a clerk tried to remove its shirt. I mention this for two reasons, Taurus. First, the planets are aligned in such a way as to suggest that you could, if you’re not careful, get in a tangle with a doll, statue, puppet, robot, or scarecrow in the coming week. Second, you should minimize your interactions with anyone whose expression never changes, whose behavior seems mechanical, or whose actions seem controlled by someone else.
I am in PH34R of the robot menace!
Randomness and Hilarity
Each of the tables at the reception had a few disposable cameras on them. As we figured, hilarity ensued. This set is in extremely random order, and has over 150 images, I think.
