The days of our lives

So I've been racking my brains since last time trying to find a meaningful topic to post about here, but this has only prevented me from posting.
So here is a list of ideas that have been floating around my mind:

• How much in control are we when it comes to our lives, our futures, our relations to the cosmic and not so cosmic, etc? (i know, a big existential quandary.)
• (this probably brought on that first one) The meanings of astrology and how much or little I lay stake in it.

At the beginning of last week, there was a big hoopla about adding a long discarded astrological sign to the original twelve in order to take in to account the cosmic evolutions that have occurred since there invention almost 2,000 years ago.

For the most part, I don't care, especially since my sign wasn't/isn't effected (Pieces, in case you were wondering).  But it got me thinking about how I turn to horoscopes and the occasional fortune cookie when it feels as though my luck has run out. I find comfort in mercury's dives into retrograde and vague assurances that better times are on the horizon.  Also, my maternal grandmother, a devout Catholic, had an affinity for astrology and fortune telling and that makes me happy inside. :)

As another aside, 2011 is the year of the rabbit, my year, so I'm hoping that there's something good for me  in the stars this year.

• I was gonna lay out a plan on how I'm gonna stop being a dufuss when it comes to money, having and spending it. But i don't wanna.

But what i will share is the couple things that I liked about last week:

Yesterday,  the Bay Area was enveloped by a very dense fog that lasted until 11am. It was magical. This  was the view from my studio apartment at 9am.  It was eerie, but so beautiful to wake up to. The fog return in the evening.

There was also some fun had with Charo and Photo Booth that I was unaware of.

Well, there you have it. Off the work I must go. 

yay.
