Try as I might, I just can’t get into the murder mystery. *grumble* So I started reading one of my shapeshifter stories. It actually almost has a plot! 
Go figure!
Anyway, I’m doing some research today so these pesky little details that are bugging the heck out of me will go away.
Horoscopes:
“You may have spent the past few weeks exploring other horizons, meeting new people, going out more frequently in the evening or even making short trips away from home. (I think they must have me confused with someone else. 
) But this is a moment to settle down. Today’s celestial configuration is giving you just the incentive you need to stabilize yourself. (What am I? A freaking boat, or something? 
) Expect some pleasurable moments in the comfort of your home. (LOL! I am SO not going there… I started to say ‘not touching that one’ but thought better of it. 
)”
“This is an excellent day to spend time away from the routine. You will get more done in seclusion (Yeah, right. Except hiding away IS my routine.) today than you would if you had a team of dedicated workers assisting your current projects. A relaxed setting will be best for you to shine. (Not getting that here. We’ve got people here working on the house.)”
“Your life gets ever so much easier when you stop trying to make that person fit into every single role you think you require of them. (Do they mean a person in my ‘real’ world? Or one of my many ‘fictional’ world denizens?) Let them be who they are, and see their true nature for what it is.”
Actually, that could probably be said about ALL my blog posts. 
But anyway… I was so braindead yesterday. Did NO writing. Bad Tori! 
No biscuit! I feel much better today. Relatively speaking, at least.
Today’s horoscopes:
“If you feel you have been looking toward the past recently, you have been doing it in order to liberate yourself from it. (Have I been doing this? I didn’t think so, but maybe I’m too close to it to notice…) You may feel like revisiting your childhood or rekindling certain relationships with old friends. (Oh. Well, yes, but that would be kind of fun, don’t you think? :streamer:) But the planets are making you a bit too romantic, (Hey! I’m a Cancer, what do you expect???) and you will be disappointed by the reality of things. (Oh, now THERE’S something new. ) Looking backwards isn’t really the best way to move toward the future. Nostalgia just isn’t what it used to be! (No kidding!)”
“Some focus on your health will make you smile today. (I just took some store brand Sudafed. Does that count?) A checkup or just a brisk walk will make you feel more in tune with your body. (Didn’t I do that yesterday…?) A possible soulmate is lurking nearby, so look and feel your best. (Did they have to use the word “lurking”? Sounds more like a stalker to me!)”
“Multiple people, places and things are on your radar. (Make it stop!!!) While you love the attention, your focus does feel ever so slightly fractured. (Gee, ya think?) Making—and sticking to—a priority list is key to taking care of business. (In that case, I’m in BIG trouble. I’ve never been able to manage that.)”
I’ve been watching the British edition of Whose Line Is It Anyway? on BBC America lately. The American version wasn’t funny anymore because I’d seen almost all the episodes (multiple times). So the British ones are fresh! They’re funny! And they sometimes have cute Brits! 
Tonight’s the latest episode of Hex. It’s a very strange little show. I’m not as hyped on it as I was at first. Not that I’ll stop watching, mind you.
And not to end this post on a down note, but I just read that Jim Baen, the founder of Baen Books (a science fiction/fantasy publisher) died yesterday.
On the archaeology front, from various and sundry sites:
Possible Amazon ‘Stonehenge’ Found
Remnants of ‘sophisticated culture’ uncovered
Find may point to sophisticated Amazon culture
How cool is that?
Had a doctor’s checkup today. His office is in one of those multi-level buildings with various specialists. What I’d like to know is what genius came up with the idea of having “Infectious Diseases” share a waiting room with people who have damaged immune systems???
Today’s horoscopes:
“Too much running around might have you feeling exhausted and a bit under the weather today. (No kidding! I was tired before we even left this morning.) You may have been exercising a little too much. (:rofl: Does leaping to conclusions count? Running on empty?) Therefore this is a good day to avoid exercise and get a little rest. (Good. I think I’ll loll around the rest of the day. ) You don’t want to push yourself too hard! This is not a good day to plan or start a vacation. (Wasn’t planning on planning anything. LOL!) Wait a few days before doing this, as trips planned at this time could be fraught with glitches.”
“Look to see what other people are bringing to the negotiating table; (Nobody told me I was supposed to be negotiating anything today! 
) be patient and refuse to commit until you have sized up the complete picture of what you will be getting. (Right now, I’d just like some chocolate. 
) Make an informed decision in your own time.”
Oh, yeah. 
Writing. I eked out a few lines on the murder mystery last night. Decided it was time to actually interview the killer.
