A new desk and a new (and horrifying) look at myself
I think I’m allergic to my new desk. When will I learn not to buy new things while Mercury is Retrograde? First the computer, now this. Mind you, the desk is very fetching, quite fanciful and most appropriate for my progressed Moon in Pisces. It’s painted with a fabulous sort …

Eating my vegetables.
Right. Where were we? It took a week or so, but I finally shook off my post-vacation funk and the residue of that nasty flu. I’m working against a writing deadline for Llewellyn’s 2010 Moon Sign Book, but this particular article has been rather shockingly easy to put together… naturally, …

It’s just been… so hot. So very, very, horribly, witheringly hot. We spent the weekend in Long Beach (merely uncomfortable) and South Pasadena (life-threateningly, Godawfully hot) and came home last night to a stifling house (despite every window being open and every fan running) and two annoyed cats. This is …
