| I spent the evening over at David and Byron's tonight. I spent most of the evening with David because we were reading cards and so Byron just sulked in his room. I seem to be in the middle of one of my "transitional periods," which is probably a result of having gone so long without paying any real attention to myself. This may be the spiritual equivalent to realizing that I'm getting too old to stay up all night drinkin' anymore... or trying to figure out the exact nature of my many and varied neuroses. I'm so going to bed. | | |
| Sagittarius Horoscope for week of February 16, 2006
 
Sagittarian Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman elected to Congress. While serving seven terms, she was an outspoken warrior who fought tirelessly for the rights of women, minorities, and the poor. "My greatest political asset, which professional politicians fear," she said, "is my mouth, out of which comes all kinds of things one shouldn't always discuss for reasons of political expediency." Yet one of Chisholm's most famous exploits was her visit to segregationist politician George Wallace in the hospital after he was shot. Her supporters complained that she was consorting with the enemy, but years later it paid off. Wallace helped her win the votes of southern congressmen when she sponsored legislation to give domestic workers a minimum wage. Be like Chisholm this week, Sagittarius: Even as you open your big mouth to articulate controversial truths, reach out to those who disagree with you.

| how can that dog be barkin' in the backyard?
we ran over him years ago
how can that dog be runnin' by the back fence?
we ran over him years ago
ghost of a dog
barkin' in the backyard
how can that dog be scratchin' at the back door?
we ran over him years ago
how can that dog be lying under that shady tree
where we buried him years ago?
ghost of a dog
flyin' through the back yard
-Edie Brickell "Ghost of a Dog"
I can't get this song out of my head lately. It's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, and the more I hear it and sing it, the more I feel like there's more to it than that. I don't think it's about a dog. I think it's about a relationship long ago destroyed by you and your significant that still nags at you when you think you're over it and you've moved on. I am willing to allow for the very real possibility that this is more of an indication of my current state of mind than Edie's ability to employ metaphor. Yeah, so I'm going to bed. | | |
| Have yourself a merry little Christmas and/or a happy Hanukah! It doesn't get much better than this.... | | |
| Well it's almost Friday, day of the three final exams. I am relatively calm considering, probably because I just don't give a fuck anymore. After having a nice long session with a pack of Marlboros and um, the Eagles (stop laughing at me!) last night, I feel almost brand new. If I can just finish out these exams and start to get my shit packed up and into a new apartment, I'll be golden. Shout out to my girls: I would have been dead a long time ago had it not been for y'all. | | |
