Dateline Auckland
Fortunately the huge storm that battered New Zealand last week had just passed by the time we landed on the 1st, after a long but entirely uneventful flight on beleaguered Qantas. (By far the best food and nicest staff of any flight I’ve ever been on, by the way.) My …
Read MoreEclipsealicious.
Other than cranking out reports for people, I hadn’t been paying much attention to Wednesday’s eclipse. “Not much in my chart sits at 17.44 of a fixed sign,” thought I… oh. Except my natal Sun, at 13.08 Leo, that is. Might that explain the uncontrollable tooth-grinding and exhaustion of the …

I remember my dreams infrequently, and they’re seldom populated by the rich, famous, or good looking. That’s why I get a kick out of it when, say, a Zach Braff or an Adrian Grenier stumbles into my nocturnal Second Life. Mr. Grenier, to the uninitiated, is the handsome young star …

It takes a Scorpio
My pal Susie at Suburban Guerilla wrote a lovely epitaph about the demise of the very Plutonian Sopranos, and even gave me a shout-out in the process. Thanks, Susie – and farewell, Tony. The fans at Television Without Pity are bitterly divided today on the conclusion of this fine series, …

AstroBlogger Throw Down!
Are you throwing down with me over this Imus thing, Jeff? Are you? Because you may be from Brooklyn, baby, but I’m a middle-aged housewife from the mean streets of San Diego and I am fueled by the twin rages of hormones and dieting… and I am telling you to …

Watch your mouth
Just when I’m ready to throw Don Imus a bone for at least admitting his comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team were offensive, he keeps coming out with the kind of tone-deaf comments that only make the situation worse. Basically, his message seems to boil down to this: “I …
