I found out yesterday afternoon that there’s a gangster buried in a nearby town. He was a cohort of Pretty Boy Floyd’s! How cool is that? (Okay, yes, I’m a little strange thinking a gangster is cool. But he’s a HISTORIC gangster. (Just ignore the fact I’d never heard of him until yesterday, ‘kay?) Oh, his name was Frank “Jelly” Nash. In case you were wondering.

Nothing much going on here today. I’m wiped out because I only got about 3 hours sleep last night.

I’m listening to Sirius Radio’s “Disorder” channel/station today. That’s the one that plays Celtic music for three hours every Saturday. And I’ve just kept it on there. Even though it says it plays “free form rock” (whatever the heck that is!), they’re playing all kinds of stuff today. Right now is a band called Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues Band. Now they’re playing Bob Dylan who (whom?) I’ve never much cared for. And earlier they played John Phillip Sousa’s Stars & Stripes Forever. Very patriotic!

I’m still reading through my shapeshifter story. The curious thing about it is the hero is blond. I have nothing against blonds, mind you. However, by and large, I’m not attracted to them. Give me tall, dark, and hunky any day. Almost every story I have in the works (and trust me, you don’t want to know just how many that is!) has a hero with dark hair. Then here comes Stefan, slinking in and telling me he’s blond, thank you very much. Righty-ho! If he insists. Don’t you just love it when your characters are bossier than anyone you’ve ever met in your entire life?

Oh! I just found out I get the N Channel (a subsidiary of MTV, I think) which is Noggin during the day. Why is this a momentous occasion, you ask? Because they have a show called Whistler which stars the luscious Nicholas Lea. And the first episode airs tonight, so I can see it from the beginning!

Today’s ‘scopes:

“Love and passion are very much at the forefront of your thoughts today. (Today and every day. ) Work seems quite tedious in comparison with the rich fantasy going on inside your head! (Well, duh! ) If possible, make a point of getting together tonight with your mate. He is likely feeling as amorous as you. You two have much to celebrate, with the celestial atmosphere being so conducive to the deepening of your relationship. (Yes, that would be the one who isn’t real. )”

“A financial matter is settled in your favor, (:whoo: Show me the money!) but not before someone has his or her say and makes a big scene. (I’ll just ignore them.) Remain calm and oblivious until you get what is rightfully yours. (Sure, I can do oblivious. LOL!) Then you can speak out and be properly heard.”

“Be extravagant. Treat yourself to a two-hour lomi lomi massage (What the hell is a lomi lomi massage???) or a delicious meal at a five-star restaurant. (:rofl: I could spend the rest of my life looking for a five star restaurant around here.) You’ll feel all the tensions in your life melt away with a little judiciously applied indulgence. (Actually, I’ve been thinking about this for the past week or so. It would be cool if I could find a day spa. Get a massage—a kind of I’ve actually heard of!—get a manicure which I’ve never had before. Maybe even a pedicure, though my feet are really ticklish. Sounds heavenly!)”
