I don’t follow astrology. I don’t get readings from astrologers. I don’t even read my horoscope unless it’s something I happen to come across, then I’ll read it for fun.
However, I do believe that the alignment of the planets and stars have an affect on us. I do believe that if the full moon has a gravitational pull on the tides, then us humans, being made up of more than fifty percent water, must be affected by the gravitational pull too. We have to be. How could we not?
Well, today is my birthday and this year it’s not only the winter solstice, the shortest, darkest day of the year, but THIS year there was also a full moon and a lunar eclipse that hasn’t happened in like 400 years or so (depending on which website you visit).
AND I keep hearing from friends about how Mercury is in Retrograde right now. If you don’t know what that is, it has to do with Mercury appearing to be traveling backwards through the zodiac due to the orbital rotation of the earth in relation to other planets. Or something like that. You can read about it here.
So my birthday today is full of chaos. One thing after another. And I can’t help but think that all these astrological things going on MUST have something to do with it. If they don’t, then you explain all this chaos to me, because I can’t come up with a better answer. Like the Washington Post said: “There are not many days like Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010. Take it from people who know: astronomers. There was maybe one day like this Tuesday in the past 2,000 years.”
I couldn’t agree more.
This is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. My nepehew was dressed up as a little chick for Halloween but apparently he really wanted to be something else! We are whatever we believe we are.
I was getting packages ready to mail out for Christmas when the doorbell rang. A 40-ish year old man with his hoodie pulled up and a backpack was standing at my door. Thankfully I didn’t have to open the door because we have a speakeasy.
What I wanted to say and what I actually said to this guy are two different things. He needs to take his game elsewhere. I guess no one told him this neighborhood is rated 9 out of 10 for Safety in Los Angeles. And with an elementary school in the area, his kind, are not tolerated here well.
40: “Can I come in and use your phone to call my mom? I’m lost.”
ME: Do I look stupid? “No, I’m sorry. You should run up to the local gas station and they can help you.”
40: “Oh, where’s that?”
ME: Are you a serial killer or just looking for money? “Well, just go to the market down the street – maybe they’ll let you use their phone.”
40: “Do you know where (anonymous address) is?”
Me: Do you realize I’m calling the police as soon as I get rid of you? “No, I’m sorry.”
40: “Ok. Which way is the market?”
Me: Up your butt. “Head west.”
40: “Which way is that?”
Me: If you ever come back here again, it ain’t gonna be pretty. “To your right.”
It’s funny that I just wrote about being neighborly recently and then this guy shows up at my door. Maybe he read my blog post and thought I’d invite him in for coffee.
I had an audition in Hollywood last night for a pilot, which is great, but trying to find parking in Hollywood at 6:00pm is hell. To top it off, the meters are now enforced up until 8:00pm instead of 6:00pm along with only AN HOUR limit. What can you possibly do in an hour? Just try going to a restaurant. By the time you walk from your car, get a table and order, it’s time to run out and put more money in your meter again. Bastards. California is broke and apparently they think they’ll get out of debt one parking ticket at a time.
