Horoscope for today from astrology.yahoo.com (Virgo)

Romance may require some hard work from time to time, but it always pays off! If you are in a relationship right now, give your partner a little bit more attention and tender loving care than you have been giving them lately. Compromise will bring the two of you closer. And if you're not in a relationship, today it's time to work a little bit harder at making a connection with that person you've been talking to a lot lately. Open up a little more and be vulnerable. Share a dream.

Hmmmm...interesting. May have to give this one some thought.

Rampant herds of brain weasels flocking through my cerebral cortex

I'm having issues with brain weasels today. Nasty little bastards, with their sharp teeth and beady eyes, probing with their scrabbling little claws into the areas I'd rather not have disturbed. Isn't it amazing how they wrap themselves around your insecurities and gnaw at them, infecting them with some sort of poisonous brain weasel venom?

Yeah.

So.

Tell me something good. Tell me something wonderful that has happened to you lately, or something funny you saw on line, or something neat you read, and we can stomp a few brain weasels together. If you've got nothing, then maybe something in the comments will reach you, will make you smile, will crush a few of your own brain weasels.

If you post this in your journal, I'd love it if you linked it back here in the comments so I can come read even more brain weasel stomping things in your journal.

I'll start.

I read this the other day while looking for how many calories I was burning during my exercise, and it made me laugh.

Bored, bored, bored.

So you get a meme! You get a lyrics meme!

You know the drill. MP3 player (etc.) on shuffle, and post the beginning lyrics to 30 songs. See if you can figure out the title and artist. I skipped ones in foreign languages, ones with the title in the first line, instrumentals, or songs I felt like skipping. {Now with commentary, 'cause I'm that bored.}

( Ready? GO! )

Paint me a rainbow!

Your rainbow is strongly shaded green and red.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You appreciate energetic people. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You get bored easily and want friends who will keep up with you.

I am so loving this song and this group (The Pierces) right now!!

You can find more about them on their myspace:

And there are several video of them on YouTube.

Yeah, this is a musical group one of my students turned me on to when I heard her singing and playing this song on her (contraband) Ipod. I had to get her to tell me who sang this song, because I loved their retro sound. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I have!
