you know, there are people which you dislike at first sight. the grrrl in question is one of them. most of all because she tries so hard to be a grrrrl

it's when i am really there. lost in the moment. intoxicated with the here and now and the splendour of it all. the warmth, the distracting low hum, the scent. the world could fall apart and i would not notice. no thoughts, no plans, just being. unaware of anything except the fascinating reality - it could be anything. there is such thing as perfectly perfect moments (oh, the cleverness of you!) when i don't need anything else but what's right around me. 

i know not her rising and this makes it a little complicated but still. she does not look or act like a libran and this is puzzling. okay, so planets whatever aspecting whatnots but there are a few things libra femmes i know have in common: we like to party, we like to smile, we like, adore, can't live without, damn, if we were presidents we'd create the department of fashion and girly things and romance.
she's not that saturnine and excuse me she's got venus in scorp AND a gemini moon. maybe venus conjunct saturn. secretly hot but she doesn't want to show it? thinks fashion is superficial? she's got the brains and the artsy part.
need more investigations.
also, the hot pink dress eeeeee squee!!!

i hope there will be no full moon aries and mercury retro this time, for it will bring blood. oh look! we got 2 out of 3! aaand we got full moon in gemini on dec 21st, smack on yule day. i should start hording popcorn for that day already

look, it's got twinkies, mmmmm!!!! honestly, the harry/hermione dance was so cute it reminded me of every 2-left-feet man i ever danced with. go harry potter!!
also, tomorrow i'll go back to work and all the holiday cheer and energy will vanish in about 2 days. then i'll be properly zombified.
therefore, i'll be off to bed right now

i am just praying for the hotass were NOT to be a furry edward. otherwise, this looks very promising, as they went down the road of the story as a metaphor for the first sexual experience. although i would have so much liked to leave all the "i'm-wrong-for-you" crap out. come on, no guy will tell you that AND mean it!!!! the wolf should be seductive and dangerous and predatory, because, you know, it's an initiation rite. women need initiation tales as well - and the whole concept of coming out of the wolf belly speaks volumes. just leave the woodsman out and make her come out by her own means. it is a much more meaningful lesson than the rom-coms. other than that, i'm very happy with all the gothic imagery and the choice of actors and director.
p.s. i sort of horrified people with this interpretation of the tale but it's not my fault these stories have been disney-fied. originally, little red, snow white, cinderella, you-name-it were cautionary tales, quite close to the horror genre and not for children.
p.s. 2 - there's absolutely nothing like gothic romance.

it all starts like this



then it goes a little like this



then i reach this phase



then, for the grand finale

srsly, we need that. because there are some fashion crimes that deserve to be punished severely and immediately. such as animal-printed harem pants. the aesthete in me is revolted!!!!! this is such a heinous item it deserves to be burned at the stake since it offends anyone's tastes (well, maybe except the taste of fashion  victims) and eyesight. my inner balance is upset by the mere thought of that repulsive thing. long story short:
less is more when it comes to animal prints. ALWAYS
harem pants were meant to be worn in a harem, which is indoors.

i so admire the dedication of the rom-coms to present unrealistic relationships as everyday life. after the mess that was "eat pray love", i saw last evening "the rebound". because it was on tv, that's why. the story: catherine zeta jones divorces her lousy husband, takes her 2 kids to ny, gets a job at a tv station. cathy gets mr. unicorn no. 2 as a nanny. mr unicorn is:
24
loves kids
knows how to cook
smart, funny, caring, romantic, responsible and looks like he's not in heat all the time
at this point i expected talking animals and an alien invasion. honestly now, a 24 years old male who is not testosterone poisoned? he doesn't dream of getting laid with as many women as possible? no macho-prick attitude that makes you want to run him over repeatedly with an army truck? he doesn't run screaming when cathy tells him she's pregnant but actually he is happy?
AND THEN HE ADOPTS A CHILD FROM THAILAND OR SOMETHING TO BECOME A SINGLE DAD. WHATEVER, MOVIE.

last night, the cough returned. therefore, i decided to take action - antibiotics. because the delicious pine syrup and the sage tea didn't do the trick anymore. then, the night before, our schizophrenic neighbour had one of her fits so there was a commotion with police, fire squads and ambulances. this night, i am expecting aliens to land.
sister-fish decided to chuck dracula-boy. which was a smart move, since dracula-boy had a definite penchant for emotionally draining the fish and general fuckwittery. as expected, he didn't get the message and decided to text her at night, till sister turned off the phone. we are now expecting him to get drunk and show up at the door (again). also, kataka girl broke up with bull-boy and now she's crying her heart out. the problem is they will get back together. see, this is why being an air sign is good, at times. we either pretend not to care and act really civilized or conjure up a psycho-bats storm.and since we have the emotional maturity of a 5 years old, we will be firmly convinced we are right.
in conclusion: save the world and free the hamsters

at first, there was the fever, then the sore throat, and last night, the cough, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. like, why can't i be like all the other people who get the fever, the sneezing and the cough at once! i am so tired right now and i keep thinking about symptoms i should still manifest later and which will cause MOAR SLEEPLESSNESS dear gods, the horror!  it was not fun to have 1 day of fever, one day of sore throat,  1 day of sneezing and 1 day of cough (guess what? apparently my body does not seem to relate sore throat to coughing. the day before yesterday, the throat killed me. like, yeah, i could not sleep at night because of it. yesterday, the soreness and pain went away, but i started to cough last night and my ribs hurt now. totally hurt)
AHAHAHAHA, they are filming breaking dawn. the isle esme scene. and there will be sexing!! the cream dress is totally awesome though and i want one too.

... and i'm still looking for the nightgown in my dustland fairytale.

I Want You: What You Do When You’re Attracted to Someone

that would be the 2nd house. mine is Gemini sooooooo... i blather, talk, flirt. also, the ruler, Mercury, is in Scorpio, which, i quote "If you want to be with a lover who can instantly penetrate your mind, along with your body, then date someone with Mercury in Scorpio. This is a sign that truly values depth in a relationship. There is absolutely nothing superficial about Mercury in Scorpio. When it comes to love and sex - it's all or nothing."

You’re My Type: Who You View as Your “Ideal” Partner

the 7th house. dear gods, moar Scorpio! The Seventh House represents the one-on-one partnerships in your life and the qualities you are drawn to in a partner. "You may be drawn to intense partners who engage in power struggles with you. But after being in these relationships for a while, you might notice that you start to exhibit some of this intense, controlling behavior as well."which means i am drawn to the mysterious/dracula-rising-from-the-coffin type. and after a while, i turn into the spawn of satan. huh. i would have never guessed that. har har. then, of course, there's uranus, which means people that are somewhat unavailable or plain mad, mercury  - motor mouth and mars - which, of course, kicks up the conflict factor. in conclusion, my ideal partner is a mixture of dr frankenstein and attila the hun on crack playing the violin.

You Again: Who You Attract Instinctively

the 8th house. we're out of scorpy territory, since it's ruled by saggitarius. "Dark and primal, the Eighth indicates whom we draw to us without even trying". let's see: saggis are fun to be around, optimistic and blunt.also, they're more pals than lovers. also, there's neptune there so this means artsy types.

You’re my Soul Mate: Your Ultimate Other

the 12th house: …" where you let go of all superficial attachments. Evolutionary astrologers refer to it as the house of the Ultimate Other (Spirit or higher power). So when your partner’s planets fall in this house, there is the potential for that person to become your Ultimate Other. No, not your personal deity. Rather, they could help you get in touch with your higher self.” Mine has Pisces (neptune is in the 8th. does that mean that i attract effortlessly my ultimate other?) and Aries (mars in the 7th. again, attila the hun)

i see a pattern emerging there. 

because, you know, i have a very strange way of getting sick. most often, this involved me being crippled for a day. like yesterday. got up at 4 am with fever, severe muscles/bones aches and chills. waited sister to get up, since there was not even an aspirin in this house. sister went to pharmacy, got remedies. stuffed my face with medicine then basically stayed in bed all day since getting up was next to impossible.
of course, i am now fully functional. sure, i have a slight throat ache but i can walk!

i'm working on this black velvet waistcoat (i think this is a very appropriate term) which is going to be ohmygods so victorian. seriously. fitting, feminine, silvery buttons. also, it took me about 2 years to think it over.
on the other hand, i need another "la chatte florence" shirt. preferably cream lace this time. bows and ruffles always help.
oh, yes, about water signs love... if they make a movie, it will be called "the return of dracula". drew barrymore will star as sister-fish and gerard butler as tortured and angsty scorpio love interest. spooky

enjoy creative chaos, love and spiced wine. watch the sun fade away. explore your dark side and embrace it. after all, who needs the light when the sky is so full of stars?

i saw it because sister insisted we do but in the end she had to get ready for the night out so i watched it on my own. long story short: the heroine is a cow. she divorced her husband for no apparent reason then she travels the world stuffing her face in italy (see previous entries about me and food) and then in bali she meets mr. unicorn. because this man is just as real as that. honestly, now. he is divorced, takes care of his children (that's worth 1 billion points. good parenting skills in a man are so rare. heck, men who want to be fathers are incredibly rare), has a business of his own and ... teehee TELLS HER HE LOVES HER IN, LIKE 2 WEEKS, AFTER THEY MET. AND THAT HE WANTS A FUTURE WITH HER. and before that, he invited her on a 2 days trip to a romantic balinese island. you'd expect our heroine to be doing victory laps around the beach ( i would) and jump on that stupid boat. but, because she is a cow she makes a scene and i wanted to reach through the screen and pimp slap her. because, quick recap:
mr unicorn has good parental skills
mr unicorn is available, reliable, sweet and shows no signs of craziness. also, he is smart, since he traveled the world.
mr unicorn knows what he wants. that is you, stupid cow. he is not afraid of commitment
mr unicorn just asked you to go on a romantic trip to an indonesian island so that you can talk about your future together
and, the icing on the cake. after she mulls it over a few days, it kinda dawns on her that he is the right one and leaves him a note "meet me at the pier". i mean, what was she afraid of? honey, that's the best you get. they meet on the pier. unfortunately, no meteor drops from the sky on her head and no shark emerges from the water and eats her. they hold hands, because he is an unicorn and he luffs her MOAR BETTER THAN EDWARD CULLEN LUFFS BELLA.
fin

i've been sitting on a hypothetical fence most of my life. usually, i act as the person who gets along with everyone (okay, not quite everyone, but most of people i come in contact with) because
a. i like people in general and getting along with humans is in my genes. i believe in cooperation, being nice and civil to others. yeah, i'm weird like that.
b. you catch far more bees with honey than with vinegar. i am more than willing to meet you halfway and make compromises because in the long run it pays off. BUT
don't ask me to take sides. especially in a personal war with subjective perspectives. i refuse to do that. most of the time i've heard both sides, all the arguments, and it sums up to "i don't like what's his/her face". well, guess what? that is your problem, not mine. you're free not to like someone just as the other person is free not to like you back, just don't ask me not to like the other because you do not like her/him yourself. i am effin' switzerland, neutral territory, complete with secrecy of the banks. fin.

some of the following are true. some less so.but they're lolarious
Libra females value reciprocity, good manners, and they really, truly expect you to read their minds. Read that last sentence over again. They really, truly expect you to read their minds. If you can’t read her mind, she will think you are not her true love.
Libra will expect strict observance of all major holidays with special emphasis on Valentine’s Day and her birthday.  She will prefer a PUBLIC display  of your affections in strict romantic code,  even a little more lavish than you should, such as a dozen red roses sent to her office, not her home, so all her friends know you fawn over her, I mean, care.(oh shut up, like you don't want someone fawning all over you)
Your Libra woman is like the goddess Athena, who reigns over just wars, the wars that must be fought.  Does this like sound somebody who needs to be lifted up anywhere?
Issues pile up as the months go by and there can be a horrendous face-off when Libra finally decides to even the score.  (Libra is the consummate score-keeper.)
 She will withhold her displeasure when you fail to read her mind but it goes on the scoreboard under “Strikes Left”.  When you strike out for the last time, which is some arbitrary, made up rule she has, she will then sandbag or ”unload” on you out of nowhere with invectives and diatribes because 1>you didn’t do this and >2 you didn’t do that  >3 and another thing ….  That’s when you find out what a good scorekeeper she is.  This will be the first time you’ve heard of your sins of omission so you’re caught completely off guard.  Now you also know how good she is at 1> setting you up, 2> keeping you in the dark and 3> unloading with both barrels.

in my humble opinion has nothing to do with how high the heels are, how expensive her outfit is or even how old she is. a diva is divine in a sackcloth because she has the spark - intelligence, charm, she likes herself and she likes others. a diva knows to have fun and she's not snotty or bitchy.
which is why the "next diva" show i am watching right now should put more emphasis on these girls' brains (they exhibit an appalling lack of gray matter) and attitude than looks.

i had so many thoughts in my head these days, like a never ending buzz, but still am in good spirits.
first things first: Restless has a trailer.



coming out in january. i totally love it already because that's what a love movie is supposed to look like. and it will very probably end in tragedy so, TWINKIES!
also, i started taking vitamins and minerals and hopefully it will help. like, in general. not that i smoke like a chimney...
why did other persons expect me to feel different now that i'm 30? this puzzles me so much.on a related note: i actually don't care. you know, from my experience, people, as a rule, rarely, if ever, reach consensus on stuff. and their opinions are VERY biased and subjective. this is why i don't care.
sean bean will save my life one day, hopefully. he will, however, die in games of thrones because wikipedia says so. see, this is not fun. aragorn got to live 200 and poor sean is doomed every effin time he gets a part in a fantasy movie.
the end now, i'm off reading other blogs

look, i do understand that it's somehow important, since it is a marker of health  and civilization (honestly now, bad teeth, unkempt hair, bad nails is a no no) but i certainly do not agree to see it as something that defines you as a person. especially if you are a woman.

so i'm like 30 today. 30 and flirty and thriving

in theory, i know it's bad superbad and very likely killative (and it's not even pretty) buuuuuuuuuuuut.. quitting is not an option right now. i mean, really. i smoke because i am stressed. this is why i started in the first place - stressful situation, guy from hell nearly ripped my beating heart from my chest so i puffed an entire pack in one evening (guess what? he was an aries and my sister from the future should have warned me about this). and it made me feel slightly better. so quitting means everything has to be so peaceful and perfect around me. because previous attempts at quitting turned me into a lilith on crack. so yeah

honestly now. "At 32 years old, Elizabeth Gilbert was educated and had a home, a husband, and a successful career as a writer. However, she was unhappy in her marriage and often spent the night crying on her bathroom floor. In the midst of an affair, she separated from her husband and initiated a divorce, which he contested. The affair continued for some time but did not work out, leaving her devastated and alone. While writing an article on yoga vacations in Bali, she met a ninth-generation medicine man who told her she would come back and study with him. After finalizing her difficult divorce, she spent the next year traveling. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, finding her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love (Love) in the form of a dashing Brazilian factory owner" excuse me while i go barf a little.
aside the fact that she's a kataka in love with food, which i do not understand (really now, i am libra. i pretend to like eating because it seems sensual. but i would not mind eating pretzels for the rest of my life if that would not lead to severe health problems. i do not understand the concept of finding comfort in food either since when i am stressed i just smoke like a chimney and not eat) what the actual fuck. *trying hard to prioritize what is wrong in the whole story. obviously she has enough money to travel the world and i'd really like that although i'd probably end up spending the year on a tropical beach drinking cocktails all day and whining. but are we really supposed to believe that she finds love " in the form of a dashing Brazilian factory owner"? i know katakas have a thing for idealizing lovers but this is not healthy. Dashing factory owners do not exist or if they do there are so many things wrong with them you'll feel like running for the hills after a very short while. and let me guess. it was probably love at first sight but she said no and he insisted and he also understands her.
which is why i like better stories about strong killative men which end in tragedy. or maybe i am totally insane and just have a thing for tragedies.
in other news: weather is v v v v bad - stormy, gray and chilly but somehow it reminds me of a norse saga, which is not that bad. i was watching the sea the other day from the 14th floor where i work (great view) and there were big dark waves and somehow expected to see a viking ship landing.

and yes, that was a good movie, period. indeed valhalla rising takes stuff from it. no, black death looks nothing like it. i know it was a good movie because it stayed with me.
also, it has a shakespeare touch - maybe the tragedy of it all? a madman in lust with power drags everyone to certain death. it also has some apocalyptic overtones and that helps.
on other news: OBH just sort-of-sexed cupcakes. it was really lolarious in that he had undepants on - srsly people, a sheet would have been much much more convenient. or fade to black. or close-ups of the faces and maybe torsos ANYTHING but those underpants!! just brought his sexy down a notch as in hey baby can i sex you with my briefs on? EVEN TWILIGHT DID IT BETTER. oh, yeah, and she's leaving to his emirate and her family is freaking out.
sister-fish asked what would i do if she did the same. i would chain her up to a wall while a do a thorough investigation then we can discuss things.

cupcakes ends up in jail because he got into a fight with OBH's ex? boyfriend. and then there's a lolarious scene where one of the ex's friends' dad comes to bail them out. and OBH waited for cupcakes all night long in front of the police station (does that happen for real here?) and they embrace and my counterpart in the series (cupcake's assistant and wannabe love interest) embraces cupcakes too. you know, i so admire this woman's dedication to her love interest. in real life, she, not OBH, would have gotten cupcakes because libra women have a special trait of closing on love interest like starving hyenas on an agonizing pray. that is, he doesn't stand a chance because we try so hard to be the perfect mate. but this is not real life so whatever.
now i'm off to see aguirre.

saw both valhalla rising and black death last evening. valhalla rising is nothing the trailer promises. the action scenes in the trailer? oh, that's about all the action scenes we get. then there's a lot of wandering around, beautiful landscapes, vikings getting to north america instead of jerusalem because the navigation system was not very reliable back then. also mads mikkelsen is silent, strong and killative and totally an odin figure because, you know, ONE-EYE!! has premonitions! gets killed in a sacrificial way, although somehow i expected him to be hanged and stabbed by a spear, not smushed to death by natives! however, the chapter names were somewhat annoying.
black death, on the other hand features a strong, killative and definitely less silent sean bean who hunts witches during the black death. the plot borrows from the wicker man heavily buuuuuuuut critics seem to think is more of an aguirre tribute, just like valhalla rising which means i must see aguirre now. which features a strong killative and crazy klaus kinski. i see a pattern emerging here.

i know it's here because i started wearing socks indoors. yeah, not fun.
but anyway, i finished the sexy fairy princess dress!! which has ruffles!! lots of them!!! and it's an off-white/beige-ish chiffon and it's really pretty! go me!!!well, except that i have to wash it and very likely iron it afterwards and i am not entirely sure how that will work out.
in other news: less than 2 weeks to the moment i'll turn 30! grown-up status: unsatisfactory by common standards. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... saturn thinks i am doing a good job. i know it is thinking that. all that hard work was not for nothing. so: go me, again.

see, the equinoxes are generally a sucky period in my life. like v stressful, balance shifting buuuuuuut ... the apres equinox (esp. the autumn equinox) brings good news. so there.
also, the TV series  - our blonde heroine made out with cupcakes on the beach. again. and pretty much nothing else happened except that - the not-dead wife is really a russian mobster who fires guns and i like her even moar better. then there's another girl who i like, but more in a "i relate to you" way. she's trying really really hard to get cupcakes. i mean, she's going full throttle there. go her and anyway she would be much much much more appropriate for cupcakes.
meanwhile, cupcakes who can't act to save his soul, bless him, is letting his aqua shine through. hey, who else would marry a dangerous russian mobster and be genuinely amazed when he finds out she's not dead? i know, right?

indeed, i do feel like a frillion years old workaholic tyrannosaurus. indeed, i got a few gray hairs (suspect they're work related), and that is saturn too. clenching my teeth, i soldier on, dutifully, because, you know, saturn return. i should say it pays off, on a certain level, that does not include my general sanity, but there are lessons to be learned. so there. i will be gnawing on my foot, whine but not quit. that's the most important part. don't ask me not to whine because this is how i vent out and restore balance.whining is good.
now i'll be off doing stuff i have to do omgs

look, it's honestly not fun when i have to wait a year to find answers to to following v important questions: did sookeeh go to fairyland? will sookeeh and eric end up together like in the books (hint: they already shared a real life kiss, omg the squee!!!!)? what about hotass werewolf alcide? what about lafayette and jesus the witch ( i so much adore the concept of jesus the witch)?
so last night i watched another series (romanian this time) and it has potential for giggles. basically it's a romance but the director for whatever reason did not include vampires, which was a bad move. still he included a hotass guy, which makes it relatively okay. who cares that he can't act? yeah it's the cupcake that starred in that dancing contest. also aquarian, which is important. i mean, for life in general. so he's an emir from a fictional arab country who falls in love with our blonde heroine in a club in bucharest and beats her asshole boyfriend then steals her away on his private jet and sexes her on the red sea shore. but *foreshadowing* our heroine appeared before the first episode even started dressed in a black sheet crying her eyes out and yelling why oh why woe to me, i only wanted to be happy and loved, this is not fair.... mmmmm.. twinkies!!!my first reaction was "but honey, what did you expect from an aquarian??? unless you're willing to bare your teeth and fight for your sanity, you'll be getting nowhere fast".
also, cupcake has a not-dead wife which instantly became my favorite character. see, he thinks she's dead but apparently she's off scuba-diving in the red sea and then she stumbles upon cupcake sexing our blonde heroine and takes pictures of them then calls cupcake's bro to tell on them. whee!!! i foresee that:
a. the blonde heroine was crying her eyes out after the not-dead wife rises from the dead and cupcake finds himself with two wives. the not-dead one is a libra (i know that for a fact) so she dedicates her life to make his hell on earth.
b. the blonde heroine gets the "naked in the middle of an antarctic storm" tactic so she crumbles.
the good part is that this show is aired every day so whee!!

i finally saw it and let me tell you it was ... whoa! in my book ranks up there with the road and children of men it earned extra cookie points for the characters: finally, teenagers who act like bloody teenagers! take that hollywood! for such a blood and guts movie, i was not appalled by all the gory stuff - it made sense. and a big thank you for that. i am so sick of movies, especially the shoot-them-up/ slash'em/ torture'em just to fill up the time. here is pretty simple and the reactions are very understandable. you know, take a bunch of 15 years old and throw them into this murderous game - they'd yell, be confused, scream, cry, kill each other off and wreak general mayhem -just like in the movie. the girl with the sickle also gets extra extra points for being a major bad ass. she had some potential  - too bad she got offed. of course, there is plenty of melodrama, because they're TEENAGERS and TEENAGERS are known for many things but not for being reasonable.
also, it's another great lesson on why the aliens won't invade us - mainly because we're evil and violent.

via mysticmedusa, again:
Librans, are you feeling cleaner- yes
wiser - not sure
more determined and more able to set healthy boundaries for yourself? - ummmm.... no, not really...i don't do healthy boundaries...
Or Are you feeling more like a trillion year old workaholic dinosaur (yes!!! a lot of times!!!) with an accounting fetish (no, dear gods, no, i hate that stuff) and strange inability to socialize/date (a big NO)?
Try-try-try and try again to do haute Saturn.  Whatever crap you are merely tolerating in your life – even just things that don’t work properly,  professionals who give you merde advice, friends who bludge off you,  your so-called nutrition regime or $$$ going backwards will come into sharp focus when Saturn is at work.

apparently there are vampire angels, otherwise, why would godric appear dressed in saintly white and chanting "forgive the stupid king of mississippi, eric"? guess what eric does? he actually fries the guy in direct sunlight, keeps him chained in silver for a day and buries him in concrete. because he's eric, and damn!
also, bill tries to bury eric in concrete but our favorite viking vampire is too awesome for that. so he just pops our of the wet concrete and goes straight to sookeeh to tell on billlllllllllllllllllllllllllll. see, bill originally wanted sookeeh for the queen sophie ann, but then he fell in love with her whatever. sookeeh gets really pissed off and bans bill from her life, much to the delight of eric who is all "i thought you should know that blah blah blah". i forsee eric and sookie ending up together, but then again he must also fight alcide and his werewolf awesome. because, you know, fairies are so attractive and everyone wants a piece of them. whee!!! more love triangles!!!
then we find out that jesus is a witch (how nice!!) and lafayette might also have some supernatural thing in him since he starts seeing dead people.
yeah, verily, and sookie does something absolutely evil and pointless - she throws talbot (or whatever remained of him) down a sink.
and now i have to wait another year to see what happens next - i am not happy at this point.
re: astrology. this fabulous conjunction between uranus and jupiter falls in my 12th. wtf??

think grimdark ohmygods so sexyhot and you'll get the general vibe of these weeks. no wonder i find Dream attractive more than ever. Dream was created by Neil Gaiman, who is a Scorpio so this is so appropriate i can't even tell you. also: non sparkly vampires - the very definition of grimdark sexyhot. i'll write a novel with the male character called that way. grimdark sexyhot.... hmm...
note to self - i'll ponder on that concept.
i should have also told someone today that transiting venus conjunct pluto makes one more keen on the philosophy of "the shortest way to a man's heart is through his ribcage". oh well, she'll figure it out for herself. plus, sometimes it simply is a fabulous philosophy of life.

we've got news from the polish weather service which claims this winter will be the coldest ever or at least in the last 1000 years. let me tell you it doesn't make me happy. we already had that here and excuse me but i very much prefer the normal weather pattern: few flakes of snow if any, some chilly wind and temperatures above freezing. keep your mountains of snow to yourself, plzthks.
i've got a new pair of jeans and they're sort of awesome although mom disagrees. look, they're skinny and generally models on the catwalks have pretty much the same legs i do so i don't see why i should not wear them. plus they're basic dark wash which is like whoa! seriously, a pair of jeans without sparkles/ tears/ other so called hideous embellishments? and they go so well with the fuchsia sexy shoes.... mom will have a heart attack when she sees me wearing that.
there will be true blood! the last episode of this season! of course, eric can't die!!!

apparently there is this mania with young-adult novels where we have completely helpless heroines pining over bad boys. i am so appalled, like, i want something else

there's venus in scorpio and i am supposed to remember something from late 2002-early 2003 because it will be back to haunt me. and since it clearly was some sort of deranged romance (is there any other kind?), i must get ready for another round. and then soon transiting pluto will conjunct my moon and square natal sun/pluto/lilith conjuction and truly i must find a way to make this work. i always thought that if i invested half the energy i invest in deranged romances in anything else, i would have probably found the cure for cancer.
... of course, i won't invest that sort of energy in anything else, what sort of a person do you think i am? because, you know, lilith. that sort of energy is positively reinvigorating. definitely better than pretending i don't care. 

whyyyyyyyy?????????????? *snif snif

possibly one of my favourite songs ever, most likely because it so appeals to the lilith side. hey it's about a woman who instead of waiting and pining gets in huntress mode and goes after the guy. of course, it's going to end badly (i honestly hope she has her baseball bat ready to hit him in his kneecaps. because, you know, guys tend to misunderstand this type of behavior. as in instead of being flattered, they get cocky. so the bat helps making things clear - sorry about that, must be my hyper plutonian mode) but she is still awesome. it's a sexy, flirty, i want you song.

hey, there's mercury retro, dark moon in cancer (look, moon in cancer is the worst possible moon. forget about cappy moon. cappy moons have structure, boundaries and something a lot like poise. cancer moons are... ohmygods, where do i even begin?), venus/mars/neptune aspects. so i'll take mystic's advice:
"Should you…?  Noooo…No.  E-mail, phone, text, carrier-bat, fuq it – NO."
although my current scorpionic madness - there's mars transiting smack on my pluto! venus is also there!! dear gods, i am a sun conjunct pluto conjunct lilith whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - enjoys the idea of a carrier-bat more than it would be healthy. carrier-bats delivering dark messages of doom in the middle of the night - so tempting...mmmmm.
otherwise, i've been to bulgaria yesterday and it was awesome!

Ooooo... this was nice: "Librans, to distract you from the hefty Saturn transit you are embarking upon, please share the secrets of your charm?
Is it your mastery of the art of euphemism? “You look well” instead of “wow, you’ve porked up” when someone has gained weight. yep, that would be one. this is called being civilized, love.
Your fastidious grooming and that you always smell beautiful?  Stealth scent warfare is not to be disregarded as a tactic.the pretty will always be the pretty. we, well I, appreciate grooming over natural beauty.
The renowned desire to balance everything out, so that you never seem strident nor coarse during heated discussions re religion or politics? devil's advocate, more like it.
Some secret art that you practice, like an ancient Japanese ritual or reading Rumi a lot? - uh, oh....
Sucking up to everyone relentlessly, regardless of who they are or their status in your life? again, it's called being civilized.
Power-flirting done nearly to porn classic prequel standard but without managing to come across psycho-stalkery? you know, flirting is so underrated these days. there should be flirt schools. flirting helps a lot. also, we're very psychotic.

moon in aries is a great incentive for my current "don't fuck with my qi" attitude. that and a general sassy disposition. i am not entirely sure what else there is but i generally feel like lilith-on-crack these days. i'm such a goddess-diva.
oh, and the wedding was great and much much much fun.
and now i'll go to bed

first of all, i have the best coworkers in the world! there goes a big thank you, a round of applause and i wish i could give everyone a raise. go you, people!
second of all, miraculously and against all odds, we had news today. honestly, i can't believe we made it through the day. i was on the brink of a major heart attack twice because, you know, things that i did not imagine they could go wrong went wrong. with my delayed reactions and all, it will probably hit me later tonight at the wedding. but that's okay, since i have tomorrow off and i can pass out royally. dear gods, i'm finally home, i can't believe it. my mind is starting to go numb now. fin

this world is filled with crazy people. that's all i'm saying. from the nigerian children abused by their families because they might be witches to the fact that certain employers seem to think that the paying the salaries on time is a privilege not a goddamn right. medieval ages are so centuries ago, hello? it goes two ways: if i do my job, you must also do yours, that is paying me for my services and my time and that's about it. i don't show up at work when i feel like it so you don't pay me when you feel like it the end.
also we're ruled by a bunch of idiot thieves. why should I pay for THEIR mistakes is beyond my comprehension. see, it's not me who spent the budget, it was them. in a reasonable society they would be brought to justice, incarcerated and forced to pay back those money. because they stole it and used it for their benefit. this reinforced my belief in the minimal state whose only attributes should be maintaining the internal order and no more than that. i'm sorry but i honestly believe everybody would be better off if the state had as little money as possible. if it doesn't have money, it can't use it for stupid things such as armies and poor investments. and don't get me started on education and health care because it's not like they're free. they may be free elsewhere but not here. so strip the state of all its prerogatives, put the stupid idiots behind bars (although bombing them sounds extremely tempting, my saturn is libra is all for fair trials and a life sentence would probably be okay) and we're all better off. i'm also very tempted to ban electoral campaigns the way they are now. i'd replace them with a series of extremely difficult tests on real economy, politics (ask our politicians the difference between left and right. i was appalled by their answers), survival skills (take all of their possessions and throw them on a desert island then make a 24-hours reality show - uncensored reactions and all would show us a clearer picture of what they're capable of), grooming, heck, general knowledge. so that we don't have the surprise of another 'president of norway'. see who's going to pass that.

that's my resolution for the upcoming venus in scorpio. there is need and room for a little more deluxe love-magic in my life and this autumn sounds like a great time to do it. also, because i still do not understand why people shy away from saying they want to be loved. honestly, the world would be much better if the society in general would simply stop with its obsession with independence! rudeness! (oh, they call that being sincere nowadays) stuff like just-sex is satisfying! (honestly, just-sex or friends-with-benefits is so wrong) where's the magic? let's put some effort in there people.
i'm dead tired by the way. again.

so the last two episodes consisted of:
russell becoming a vampire terrorist after killing a news anchor live on tv. just to make a point. and eric is after his ass. yeah, and he makes a will before because, you know, russell is 3.000 years old and very strong. apparently this makes every woman in eric's life - pam, the ukrainian dancer and sookie and possibly others very mad. so, in conclusion, eric FINALLY kisses sookie for real (anyways, it's being foreshadowed since season one) and locks her in the dungeon of pain lafayette is familiar with. i just love this show's dedication of showing love as a very dangerous feeling. honestly, does anyone there has an even remotely normal relationship. i mean, with the usual quirks and problems? also, apparently, these people are never jealous. which let me tell you is at least strange.
speaking of, it seems sam has a long history of bad relationships. like that time he dated a girl and then it was revealed he cheated on him and also took his money he was robbing to build a future together. and in the end he shot her dead and her dumbass boyfriend.
lafayette and jesus have an outer body trip to the ancestors via v.
yeah, and sookie finds out she is of fairy descent, but i already knew that because i read it on wikipedia. *i am smart.
who else was there? of course, FRANKLIN. he makes a brief comeback only to be killed by jason. i am disappointed. wonder if he's really dead this time too.and jason is dating crystal the werepanther. but he also kisses tara and confesses he killed eggs. go you, jason.
hoyt and jessica are sort-of back together, not entirely sure about that.
let's see what happens next

which were, of course, too short. also, mercury is retro and that is not tres chic.
also, the horoscope for libra says: "Just when you thought you were on solid ground, you find yourself stepping in swamp every now and then. It only happens when you blurt something out that you’d normally say with exquisite tact. Shakespeare must have gone through phases like this, too. Everyone still wants a piece of you, regardless. If only you could enjoy the attention, but you feel pulled in too many directions (oh, that yes, THAT feeling again). Fortunately, one of those strings tugging at you is about to get snipped. It’ll be painless, and will free up some room in the back of your brain – so you can remember to hit that pause button before speaking". that is.... something. pause. breathe. think. think again. speak.
so i may choose fire or i may choose ice, if you don't get that metaphor i can reread it twice - to quote cleolinda.also, my favorite sin of the day - vanity. i just love the ridiculous hair and the hand mirror.

honestly, that the best love movie i've ever seen and i don't mean that mushy stuff zeffirelli made. his romeo - pshhh! that boy looked so sedated he barely stood up on his feet, let alone be madly in love. whereas leonardo di caprio is believable. and you know what's best? even though i knew it would end tragically and the movie says so in the beginning too the death scene is still gut wrenching and a total surprise. somehow, after all the colors and frantic action you don't expect them to die right there like that. *snifff, tissue. and the actors do a great job at being the characters which is not the case with other romantic movies that shall not be named. leo and claire made me believe and care for a completely off-the-wall-insane-passion-what-is-wrong-with-you-people story. which other couples did not, even though their story made more sense. romeo and juliet are very convincingly in mad love and, in that movie, it makes total sense for them to act the way they do. whereas in the zeffirelli version, i expected them to fall asleep in every moment.
then there was the r&j moment in shakespeare in love. which was acted by a libra and gemini and of course it did not come out very well.

like a dressing table. i want one in dark dusky pink with 3 mirrors and an art nouveau feeling to it. or french. you know, very womanly. a place where i could rest my superficial libran soul

so i saw the new episode of true blood where there was yet another new moon moment, actually quite a few of them. bill almost kills sookeh but decides to leave her and the hunky were alcide was all like "you should totally date me instead bb" but bill makes a comeback and he ends up sexing sookeh in the end. after they beat a pack of werewolves.
and eric kills talbot, the boyfriend of the aro king and this looks a lot like a true saga because
a. let's face it, eric is a viking. like a real one
b. there's blood and revenge
also, i finally saw the wolfman which was truly fun and so goth. like old school goth and benicio del toro was awesome and i totally loved that movie especially the ending. because it felt like a supernatural tale.
and yesterday i saw "remember me" where edward (RPattz) is a rebellious human and, after a little deliberation with sister-fish, we decided he was definitely your standard aquarian guy, complete with quirkiness, snarkiness, romantic streak wide as a river, being sincere at the most inappropriate moments, smarts, inability to wash dishes, and the "i just got out of bed look". although, to be fair, aquas have a thing for colors, which is not well represented in the movie. i mean, no pink/bright yellow/turquoise shirt?and then, when the aqua gets his shit together and acts surprisingly normal a plane hijacked by THE TERRORISTS smushes him to death. OMINOUS.
what was even more interesting was the fact that rpattz is a taurus and the girl was a capricorn and if they were to act upon their true sun signs, we would have got a completely different story. honestly taurus guys and cappy girls are very good for each other and they're the stuff dynasties are made from. as in, she's the leader and he's her attendant. i can't picture a cappy girl reacting so playfully to a guy spraying her with water. a taurus guy would not even dream of spraying her with water in the kitchen, unless he had a death wish. plus, she would not have allowed that type of erratic behavior and trust me, halfway into the movie the taurus would have left his bohemian life behind, got a haircut, a decent set of clothes and a job at his dad's law firm.

general sleepiness due to being stressed out (trying not to think of it), tired (trying not to think of it), frustrated by certain developments (but i'm trying to be very philosophical about it) and heat which is positively ungodly (but i turned on the air conditioning, so go me). this is the part of my life where astrology helps. i mean, i know saturn the god of take-out-the-trash-then-you-can-be-spontaneous is basically burning right now in these transits. so i just deal with it and try to be very patient. patience helps.

most important thing: franklin is still dead. huh. i mean, for real? aren't they planning to revive him at all? not even a little bit? honestly...they sort of revived sookeh and bill and then bill almost kills sookeh but then he brings her back to life and she yells when she sees him face (it's a long story) and no franklin?
also, the king and queen are married. direct quote from sophie ann "i'm so happy i could bleed" and it all ends with the magister being decapitated. let's say that was not the most usual wedding.
sookie finally finds out about her fairy heritage about which i read on wikipedia and eric is being awesome and saves pam blah blah blah. also, sam saves him little brother from parents who use him in dog fights.
and now i'm going to wash the mountain of dishes in the sink
fin

a Libra man (sharing my birthday, no less!!!), has written the most offensive vulgar book about women and relationships. i am so appalled. only thing i can really imagine is that he was so traumatized (the book is after all called "the mind of a divorced man) by the parting so he does not know what he's saying. he's obviously hurt with the "i don't want to fall in love" attitude and all but as we all know librans are in love with love and relationships. so he's better put his suave attitude on (look at hugh - he's the epithome of libra men. or viggo) and stop being fake. of course you'll fall in love again, don't be silly. because you're a libran and that's your destiny.oh, and about the writing - look at p.g. woodhouse or oscar wilde. oscar is a great idea, honestly, since he is also on oct 16th. see? smooth, suave, no foul language.
yeah, and i also saw inception which was .. disappointing. i mean, for a movie about dreams, it was remarkably un-dreamy. aqua joseph gordon levitt rocks though - the "quick, kiss me" line was swoon worthy. also, what's with leo and his penchant for tragic relationships with his libran leading ladies? geez...in conclusion : a mix of the matrix and ocean's eleven.

A beautific calm ushers in the week, right from the start. Should you care to rise with the Sun on Monday morning, you’ll notice a feeling of inner peace that’s been all too rare of late. If you can keep riding that wave, you’ll recognize that everything is unfolding at just the perfect pace. In romantic matters, there’s no need to rush anything. The sultry tempo is helping you detach from romantic projections, and bestows the courage to be your authentic self in all of your interactions. Don’t try to push the river, and you’ll enjoy a remarkably pleasant week! - so says sasstrology
i would like to point that my week started out wrong from monday morning ("tell me why i don't like mondays" was the song of the day, basically) with the stupid bus delay. more than 1 hour late??? that was not fun, let me tell y'all. then i was late for work and had to basically sprint in ungodly heat (the heat is generally okay. it's not okay when i'm dashing on platform sandals though and sweating) then it was crazy-busy at work. where's the beatific calm? there is none!!! although inner peace is somewhat there, but i suppose is more of the "meh, whatever, i'm too tired" variety. sultry tempo sounds great, but it's just theory. i know, the moon in taurus is sensual and laid back but the saturn returning and bringing mars along with it just makes me "serious, focused and determined" (to quote, again, sasstrology) or, in my version, "unwilling workaholic". i just dream of resting in a peaceful, stress-free, comfortable and clean environment where NOBODY WANTS STUFF FROM ME FOR A CHANGE and i'm sipping sangria while watching true blood and fantasizing. yeah, and someone is painting my toenails. see, this is moon in taurus. and this is what my authentic self wants.

i can't wait to see inception. joseph gordon levitt is my new crush. welcome to the harem, sweetheart.
saturn return might actually bring some rewards which means i must have done something right so far. pms-ing is not fun though. not one little bit. i'm lethargic and it so much sucks that i have to summon energy that i do not have. can't wait for my holiday. why can't we have free days when pms-ing. whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? in conclusion: whiny bella mood. and i'm listening to florence+the machine again
the wolfman is gathering dust while waiting for me to watch it.

Tara bashes franklin's head with a mace. i mean, for real. is that what significant others want to do with us libras in general? that raised a lot of questions since obviously franklin is a deranged libra yet still a libra. obsession with marriage? checked. being a sucker when in love? checked. satin pajamas? checked and double checked (hey, the pajamas were awesome).
then sookie, bill and lorena have a love triangle which involves tears of blood, bill being tortured and lorena going for sookie's throat literally. how nice.
then the aro king of mississippi proposes to sophie anne in the most interesting way. "you'll have a husband who never touches you and also, i'll clear your debts. however, if you say no, eric will go for your throat". aww, love.
jason's still having the stupid buuuuuuuuut he buys crystal flowers and goes to her house which is a big step forward for humankind in general. the fact that crystal already has a fiance is somewhat inconvenient but we'll move over that.
sam is on the family love mode and tries to save his little brother.
now everyone is happy, including me.
fin

there's a new trailer for "let me in" - the american remake of the fantabulous "let the right one in". okay, look, maybe, just maybe kodi smith is more attractive than the swedish oskar. but now, the american version of the vampire girl is just a pale copy of eli, who is one of my favourite female characters ever.what i dislike most about the american trailer is the fact that the seem very interested in making it look unnecessarily scary. *headdesk. the original was so fab especially because there wasn't any "look! there's a vampire girl!! no, srsly, she kills people!! scary scary scary!!! aren't you people scared yet???" 



the tagline rocks though "she will keep you safe. she will keep you close. she will keep you forever"

oh, yeah, gravity who might not be as great as i first thought. maybe it's just the description but i can't help it if "hugely-CGI heavy" and "a team of astronauts — including the lead medical engineer and a talkative "mile-a-minute" veteran astronaut — who are asked to abandon their fix-it Hubble telescope mission and quickly reboard their ship after a sudden implosion of Russian satellites triggers a debris avalanche in orbit that threatens their immediate safety. It's basically a very high concept sci-fi thriller and a nonstop race for our protagonists to get back to earth." are not appealing to me. i feel betrayed alfonso cuaron. i mean, you made great expectations. i wanted love story in space, not another version of avatar...

there's nothing like it. one moment i'm down and barely dragging my limp corpse to and fro and HA! PEPSI! the very next moment i'm whistling "Big Spender" and life is so beautiful. all thanks to caffeine which is not that bad.
in other really good news: today is one of those days i don't have to wear sleeves. see, i totally hate sleeves in summer. actually i hate even straps. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I HAVE TO WEAR THEM WHEN I PRESENT THE HOROSCOPE WHICH IS NOT AT ALL FUN but it's decent i guess whatever. however, today there is no horoscope so NO EFFIN SLEEVES. MY ARMS ARE TOTALLY FREE. WHEEEEEEEE!
one of the bright idea i had while drinking pepsi was to have a spinoff of the long dark teatime of the soul (best title ever in the world for a book) with thor and munin the raven. inspired by the new thor movie and my obsession with said mythical raven of odin. munin should be able to transform into a woman and she keeps track of silly thor on earth. also, munin is ambivalent and sort of enigmatic but not the dark seductress cliche. i mean, excuse me, but that's old and boring. she's v diplomatic, smart, DOES NOT HAVE A CAUSTIC TONGUE BECAUSE I HATE THAT IN PEOPLE and she's non confrontational. really now, it would be much more interesting if for a while we didn't equate the idea of a strong female character with ball-busting bitch with a big mouth.

this is why i did not have time to put make-up on before going to work and trust me, makeup is v important in television. like, you have to put a ton of it. and it takes time.but true blood is more important even than make-up.
so blah blah arleneispregnanant and she's moving in with what's his face blah blah sam's redneck family blah blah a guy is courting lafayette WAIT that was really sweet. it was the hotass jesus from the sanatorium where lafayette mom's was put! yay! so jesus basically watches lafayette working all day for 12 hours straight and at that point i fell over dead from awesome because no boyfriend of mine just sat there patiently watching me work for 12 hours straight and tell me he was happy just to look at me (without interfering and/or complaining. LOUDLY). lafayette, honey, that guy loves you. don't let him go.
now, FRANKLIN does more stuff libras also secretly long to do but the justice system and other people get in the way of that. so franklin tells tara he luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuffs her and kicks another vampire's butt because he did not bring food to his beloved. also he bought her a really pretty dress, all lacey and retro and that's how you also know he is a libra. because he did not but some cheap porn costume for his beloved. whee! yeah, tara is still bound with ropes but that's just details. then she is trying to fool him and i am afraid franklin will totally fall for that because we're suckers when we like a person. anyways, he proposes to her (do you have any idea how rarely a guy is so enthusiastic about the idea of marriage? yeah, i know) and without further ado, he also says he will change her into a vampire so they can be together forever. you know, if bella had met FRANKLIN instead of edward, twilight would have been three books shorter.and there would have been no werewolves, no love triangles, no renesmee, no fuckwittery.
also key scene. eric goes to the king of mississippi (who back in the day when eric was human and screwing everything that moved killed his viking dad and mom) and meets bill. following conversation ensues:
blah blah blah BILL: "SOOKIE IS NO LONGER MINE"
ERIC: *DOES A VICTORY LAP IN HIS HEAD AND GRINS
ME: *starts giggling with unholy happiness.
however, Eric the Awesome should move faster because the were in this series is no Jacob.also Bill somehow escapes the king's castle and goes to warn Sookeh who is with Alcide (of course she is) and then there's a lot of fighting WHERE IS ERIC???
*FIN, CREDITS ROLL*
NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK

honestly, i witnessed some A+ grade fuckwittery scenes today. i was not happy. all i really wanted was a nice day roasting in the sun ... i had no plan to witness the scenes THAT couple made. okay, i get it cancer girl and taurus boy, you don't do break ups. unfortunately, they don't do getting along either... so yeah. and after a short meaningful discussion with wise sister pisces we reached the conclusion they won't ever learn.
p.s. will smith will be a vampire too?

stupid suicidal cow a.k.a "she went to sing with the angels" romanian singer is seriously harshing my buzz. my get-thy-shit-together saturn return and hard-knocks moon in capricorn are appaled. she commited suicide because she was not pretty anymore? guess what, sweetheart, we all age. and the cow had a child too, but she was so selfish as to not care what will happen to that child because she wasn't feeling pretty. so she drank poison. excuse me while i don't care.
oh yeah, romance. found the explanation. moon, mars and venus are right now transiting my 5th house. so whatever, but prince charming would better move his butt and do charming stuff. before i run away with Franklin, the smooth voiced vampire. ILU FRANKLIN.

Sun conjunct Lilith in the natal chart seems to play out as the ego feeling exiled from the dominant patriarchal system. Sometimes this is as a result of actual abuse from male authority figures. The subject then creates its own breed of sexuality or moral code, crowning itself. With the rejection of the dominant male, the dark female energy can eclipse the father figure altogether. The fiery creativity of the Sun fused with the peircing intuition of Lilith makes them sexually magnetic and intense. They are are closely bound to the spirit world, and can sometimes see peoples shadows. The taboo is cast over their identity, to the extent that they can become demonized.  They may fall into the forbidden fruit of drugs to numb the pain of feeling like an outcast. Despite their seemingly rebellious behaviour, Black Moon Lilith needs more than most to feel at one with nature and to belong. Their sexuality is instinctive and untamed, feeling comfortable in their own skin.
 in conclusion: i am one sexy vixen. wink wink

long story short. ohmygods, i feel so talkative today, so the story won't be short probably. bill breaks up with sookeh over the phone because he's bad for her. sookeh's reaction is "shut the fuck up". bill's pour salt on the wound with the "i totally hate-sexed lorena and i was not afraid i will break her and sorry to be you kthxbai". sookeh cries. edward  bill cries too after he hangs up. shirtless and hot werewolf alcide tries to console sookeh. "warm your hands at my chestular fires baybeh". but he does not get revenge sex, because, apparently, weres are not deserving of that (note to self: write a fanfiction story where the werewolf gets some action. just to even things a bit). then sookeh convinces said were to do incredible stupid things for her.... and so far it's like new moon for grown-ups.
there's even a hot car. okay, it's lafayette's who is trying to deal V for eric but almost gets his ass kicked. fortunately, eric shows up and shows 'em thugs who's  the boss.
blah blah sam's redneck's family issues blah
and then FRANKLIN SHOWS UP. franklin is obviously a libra with serious issues. he basically likes tara and in true libra style, he's going to have a relationship with her whether she wants it or not. awww... nothing says true love like tying your love interest in the bathroom all day so they can't go anywhere. and later he brings her flowers and takes her to see the king of mississippi - the aro guy - who finally got edward bill. franklin manages to be still disturbingly attractive with his velvety voice and all. it's also refreshing to see a character who's not obsessed with sookeh so go him.
eric, meanwhile, has sexy fantasies of sookeh where she says unto him "you smell like the ocean in winter. bill smells of nothing at all". HAR HAR.
then there's some were party/initiation rite/ something where we get to see there were's ex-fiancee who's a skank. and no one gets his head bashed in. that was... surprising.
and then bill being mopey over sookeh seduces a strip dancer with a death wish into being killed in the hot limo. bill's such a textbook scorpio, i can't even tell you.
credits roll, fin, ILU franklin

Fair or not, the rest of us tend to look to you for a hint at how to do the relationship thing. After all, romance and love are your particular areas of expertise, right? Well, now the Universe asks you to offer us a master class in THE WAY to make all relationships – romance and otherwise – fair and even mature. (A few of us around the globe still have some growing up to do, in case you hadn’t noticed.) The reason why you’ve been singled out to bring us all up to speed is because you graciously lead by example. Lead on!
thank you sasstrology for making me feel good. hey, it's not everyday you're being called a relationship expert. beaming with pride here :D (although i am not entirely sure this applies to people with uranus, mars and mercury in the 7th house and a weird relationships record)

So yeah, advice from the master. basically it's all about being nice and considerate of the other, lest thy lover's false to thee in which case you are allowed to torment him/her for the rest of your life. fair is fair, there's no point in beating around the bush. also, say i love you a lot and stop being a coward about telling people you like them. you know, that's bad. we're being induced the idea that saying "i like/love you very much" is badevilverbotten. i am very against that. okay, most of the times people get scared and i have a feeling they prefer you would rather spit them in the face than admitting you love them, but let's try to make an effort here. also, if you're hurt, say so. you know, "you've hurt me with your stupid" does more good than pretending not to care. because i know you care.

now, let's deal with the hordes of women who have issues with aquarian men, because there are countless of them on astrology forums. to capture their attention: have another boyfriend or be very far away. probably works best if you combine these two elements. then some time later, after they get used to the idea that you're in their life, make a decisive step - tell them you're their girlfriend and move in with them. this works best if you're a leo, since they won't probably protest because you'll rip their throats. although they will possibly hate you secretly. if you're not so lucky to be a leo, summon all your courage and do it anyway. aquarians are fixed signs and they're too lazy to do anything. that involves deciding to be with you or leaving you so it's your call.
water signs: oh well, just carry on imagining stuff and scheming. it's not like you'll listen to things such as reason. p.s. who said scorpio are such smooth seducers with hearts of stone? most scorpios i know are mush, very sentimental and make excellent prey for the white sharks also known as Pisces.scorpio and pisces make a fatal combination. it's all tormented love and second-guessing and not-talking. ohmygods.
capricorns and other earth signs don't need advice since they probably know what's best for them. they are the people who create dynasties and are among the very few who hold on to concepts such as duty. plus, it's like old school romance for them.
ramzillas and leos are ... uh... from another era. another world. saggis are free love so whatever, but be careful because not everyone cheers for that.
gemini: you know what? geminis are masters at relationships. i don't know whose idea it was that they are flirty and superficial but i've never seen an unfaithful gemini. if they do it, they're covering their tracks marvelously so then it does not matter. they're great communicators, they're not stubborn and if they love you, they're not shy about showing it and telling you about that. also, they are willing to negotiate. in a world of the "my way or the highway" that's a blessing. sure, they have bouts of paranoia and jealousy but they're willing to talk about it. damn, geminis will talk about anything.
now i'm going to have some cookies and watch another true blood episode. hopefully, we'll see more of franklin, that vampire with the sexiest voice ever.
p.s. recent statistics show that librans are attracted to vampires. so put your sparkle on and practice your manners and your slightly menacing stare if you have set your sights on one.

it's back! whee!
so we've got so far: bill missing. although my pet theory was that eric kidnapped him, oh well... it was the king of mississippi. who looks like aro. and yeah - blood gelato. apparently bill's destiny is to attend long lavish dinners and play society games with royalty. still, he's not happy. i'd switch places with bill any day of the week.
eric northman does what he usually does. illegal V, bangs people, buys lafayette a red hot car and has a crush on sookeeh (who is like bella in her "but i'm bill's!!") he actually says he wants to sex her. he doesn't in the end (but apparently he will after she finds out bill hate-sexed lorena and twisted her neck...mmmmm... TWINKIES). i would say subtlety is not one of his qualities but whatever, he's eric. still awesome, but more on the soprano side which i do not enjoy very much.
and then sam has a homoerotic dream about bill the vampire. awkward. then he finds his redneck family.
we also have werevolves! and there's alcide who will get to sex bella sookeeh unlike some other werewolf who only got premarital snuggling in a tent in the middle of a snow blizzard. i know that because i've read the spoilers on wikipedia so, in conclusion, go him. also, his girlfriend dumped him ass and now he's being mopey.
wtf, bill sexes lorena!! because that's just how much he hates her??? also he twists her neck literally....
oh yeah and then there's franklin the vampire. i like franklin. more accurately, i adore his voice, his accent, his british accent ohmygod drool. also, he's menacing and obviously is after bill/sookeh, i don't care, give that man more lines. **** drool again... and again... and again...
in between all that sexing, jessica killed a guy and dumber-than-rocks jason is struggling to deal with his killing eggs (honestly, that was a bad move. my sister liked eggs) and tara tries not to kill herself but then she gets to beat the crap out of two guys with a little help from franklin. oh, and then she sexes franklin but that's okay because he whispers in her ear and i got all mushy and weak in the knees at that point. bet he does not smell like incense sticks but of something slightly sweet and warm (OKAY I KNOW HE'S DEAD BUT I CAN IMAGINE THINGS!!! - that was the part where i started talking to myself and it was not very healthy. possibly. i am not so sure)
anyways tara went all cold and prickly because she's got the stupid. i mean, honestly! am disappointed in you, tara. franklin is really hot. VERY HOT. IN A MORE STYLISH WAY THAN ERIC. AND HE'S GOT A BRITISH ACCENT.

apparently by a little witchcraft, for the time is good. i'll get my wand out of the closet.
p.s. the weather is really appropriate too! we got storm. wink

Red Riding Hood directed by Catherine Hardwicke. A dark medieval fantasy? I'm sold, where can i buy the ticket? apparently, there will be werevolves. half naked too??
on an unrelated note, the new body lotion i bought few days ago makes me sparky in the sun. does that mean i will vampire better? especially since i was not aware it was sparkly. the hands of fate (insert twilight zone score here)
the twilight tshirts we have here are not pretty. i mean, i would have liked one (the one with writing in the shape of a heart, i don't dig photos on tshirts), but on a closer look, meh. it's just loose and the red is not red enough.
also, there's news about Let Me In. You know, the remake of the awetabulous Let The Right One In. Boo, i say unto you Hollywood. the trailer looks a lot like a copy/pasted version of the original with different actors. but you don't have Eli and she rocked. she's a libra too, whee!
re: tiredness. i want to crawl on a couch and just lay there watching tv with the curtains drawn. or twilight reruns. and lord of the rings. dear god, i can't wait for the Hobbit. someone being quiet and peeling grapes while i whine on the couch would also be nice. and anyway, whose bright idea was that not showing your emotions was so cool?

As much as you’d like to retreat into your imagination or to fall back into the arms of a dreamy lover (amen to that. i'm still thinking bubble bath, blue cheese, raspberries and wine. also lots of nonsensical stories about anything and hugs. i would kill for a long full body hug and an entire day of whining with someone listening and nodding. woe to me), the reality is that the hits just keep on coming (ain't it cute?). Even your closest pals don’t know how you’ve been managing (heck, i don't even know that). And if you’re in a relationship, it’s likely your partner who’s applying much of the heat these days. Is it too much? If so, then request they give you a moment to catch up. After all, a little rest would do you a lot of good, especially given the tremors you’ve been feeling at home and on the job.
in conclusion: bubble baths and love. anything that someone not asking me for anything and love.

Tasty Beloved sounds very sexy, for some reason. i just wanted to make that clear.
so i saw eclipse the other night and damn, it was fun! just what i needed! tons of fuckwittery! jacob being shirtless! edward being mopey! bella being manipulative!  ILU BB, but i also love jacob so i'll, like, kiss him on a snowy mountain top with howard shore music in the background.
it's also a good thing i'm not bella. because people would have witnessed endless quarrels on the subject of "i trust you. it's him i don't trust". because libras are so argumentative. it would have been an entire 30 minutes of "what do you care what he thinks, as long as i'm not interested, you shouldn't be interested either".
oh yeah, and then there's some quite impressive fighting. you know, no one watches this movies for the action scenes.
also "will you marry me? no" still fills me with unholy glee for some particular reason. must admit i like one thing about edward - his perseverance - so very old school, so rare these days. it doesn't hurt that he's filthy rich either.
p.s. i'm so tired. so very tired. i could just sleep for days

ideal careers: personal assistant of quirky sci-fi writer or, alternatively, p.a. of totally demented movie director.

so it's been a loooooooooooooooong day at work ohmygod you-people-aren't-paying-me-enough. however, the horoscope :D. sadly, not even my libran natural tendency to sugar coat everything can't cope with the planets at this time. in short: it sucks. and it will still suck till the sun will move its butt next week out of the cross of hell. we'll still have a t square, but, like, whatever.
i had a discussion on the fascinating subject of principles. i have surprisingly few compared to other people. "live and let live" and be nice to everyone if possible, that's about my motto. i also believe in civility and little white lies. why should you hurt someone's feelings by saying "you look awful" when you can smile prettily and say "you're fab". honestly, it makes everyone happier.
i'm doing considerable progress on the dress for my friend, considering the small amount of free time i have. go me!

no, i don't mean the whole "it's-against-the-constitution-to-cut-some-pensions-but-the-salaries-cuts-are-totes-okay". or something. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.... Eclipse is coming here! no srsly, i'm going to see it next wednesday at the cinema! i deserve sparkly vamps after a steady diet of politics and doomsday predictions!

aside from the tedious news on politics (honestly, we're being overtaken by a bunch of morons. good thing i didn't vote for any of them, for i would be hiding in shame right now. look, i'm against them all.)and disasters of all kind - sparklemas! what? can't i have fun? somehow, i bet people are more interested in that RPattz is related to Dracula. and so is Stephenie Meyer???
in other words it's raining like hell and the planets are all squaring and opposing each other and it's not fun.  honestly, it's like supermassive burnout for everyone except leos because they're like kings of the Universe and stuff.

happy litha, people!

in conclusion: best things in life are free.holidays help me put things into perspective. as in: better have a glass of wine than get stomach aches from the crazies, better watch a movie than news, better think of fanfiction than of other uninteresting stuff. i want back!

the sparkling saga is here. seriously, it even has the tone of a saga.
also i was up at 5? because stress tends to do that to me. but after tomorrow i'll be vacationing! and i'll be doing nothing! and that makes everything okay!!!
... in the meanwhile, however, i'll be probably extremely sleepy by noon.
but, on the bright side, they have really interesting documentaries in the early morning on tv.

astrology says: wane like the moon, wait till monday, get your zen on blah blah, i honestly suck at this. although taurus is my rising, hand of gods, i feel a lot more like my progressed gemini rising - long slim limbs, fidgeting, restlessness and yeah. i don't like waiting unless i'm plotting something. and even if i'm plotting (look, i don't but there are people out there who have this fixed idea), it has to be really important in order for me to wait.
p.s. i'm officially the wicked witch of the west. east. whatever. squee!!!
got digi cable tv but honestly, it's just a whole lot of bs. and i queued for an hour for that. it doesn't have hbo! it doesn't have discovery id!
since eclipse premiere is approaching and there's an ebook online called "the short second life of bree tanner" (great title) it crossed my mind to write a certain brand of fan-fiction. "a date with edward cullen". first-person perspective, of course. as in, he never meets bella adoraklutz swan but a normal woman, like me. fine, i am not the definition of normality. whatever, i'm just having fun here.

in the wake of the new eclipse clip, when i first somewhat liked bella swan. well, actually, the whole scene is completely out of character and appears nowhere in the books, which is probably why i liked it.



her reaction is totally aries. she's all "you lied to me" and "you, why didn't you answer my calls?" and then she runs off into the sunset with hotass jacob, and edward just stares. yay! she didn't do that in the books! thank you, david slade.
also, jacob is a lot like an aquarius. because 1. the whole "i had nothing to say" line and then walking off
2. he likes and older girl
3. his love-interest is unavailable, but that's ok, because her edward obsession turns him on even more. i mean, if it weren't for the sparkler, jacob would have so moved on with his life. but no! you know, he would have loved her even more if she was a million miles away.
now i can't wait for the woods scene.... mmmmm twinkies!

p.s. i don't agree with people who say the books are better than the movies. movie-bella is much better than book-bella in that we don't get to hear her whine so much. and movie-bella actually runs off with hotass jacob in front of edward and they don't do that in the books.
p.p.s. i'm listening on repeat the whole three soundtracks.

you know, aside the obvious unholy attraction these movies/books represent (as cleolinda would say: TWINKIES!), there's one good thing about them. the soundtracks. always so OMG. seriously, i put them on repeat because MUSE! THE EDITORS! MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! and other unbelievably awesome indie songs which totally deserved a better movie than sparkly fuckwittery.
the eclipse soundtrack is just as great as the previous two. especially the florence and the machine track "heavy in your arms". talk about ball and chain type of love.
"My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall" i'm all like AHAHAHHAAAAHAHA THAT'S SO EDWARD AND BELLA. ESPECIALLY BELLA, for countless reasons.

this definitely looks good. hey, it's a movie about a knight, namely Sean Bean, being very knightly. which is totally appropriate, considering that he's a Ram and deep inside they're all longing to put their armor on and righteously kick some butts. plus, he gets to be the star, and there's no Aragorn around to stop him. does this sound like a great subject for fan fiction or what? you know, as in Boromir who is not really dead and survived through the ages and now is a knight in medieval England? and that the necromancer (i am not sure there is one in the movie, but the girl in the trailer somewhat seems to be it) is actually a minion of Sauron? Who is also not dead? and of course, it was him behind the Black Plague, but Ramzilla Boromir totally stopped it and saved mankind and then looked at the sky and was all like "beat that, King of Gondor!"

was up at 6 am this morning, just as i usually do in summer. silly dog is still sleeping.
last evening i saw "the men who stare at goats" - jolly good fun and a trip to the wacky side of life with hippies, goats, military and lsd. and of course, ewan with his baby blue eyes. looking at him, you'd want to take him home and hug him. of course, you have to remember he's also a ramzilla. but he's so cuuuuuuuuuuuuute. and acts like a lucky star.my personal lucky star.

GUILLERMO DEL TORO LEAVES THE HOBBIT. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????? i had such high hopes for that!!!
also, i saw angels and demons last night and it kinda sucked, except ewan who is awesome, because he is my lucky star, remember? earlier i saw ondine which was all so cute and endearing and i want to get married on a boat in an irish port now. not necessarily to colin, though, although he looked adequately geminian-charming.
oh, yes, and saturn turns direct, which means the mutables will be doing victory laps. also, us librans will be revving up in "let's talk about relationship" mode. what most people do not understand is that some librans (okay, probably most of us) would be thrilled every relationship would be strictly defined by a contract. you know, you meet someone interesting for the first time, and you have dinner and discuss the terms and clauses of your relationship. by dessert, you sign it and everyone is free of the whole useless "blah blah, will he call me, blah blah will she be a cruel nasty bitch blah". because, let's face it. we just KNOW if the person is right/wrong to have a relationship with in about an hour. so the whole "let's see eachother again sometimes if i feel like it. MAYBE" scenario is plain fuckwittery and it's frankly cruel. what if the other genuinely likes you?
you know, librans are terribly romantic because we're ruled by venus. what other people do not understand is that we're also ruled by "get-thy-shit-together" saturn. saturn likes order, rules, defined boundaries and contracts. librans invented pre-nups, marriage and divorce because if there's one thing we hate above all is messy unclear situations in relationships.

dennis hopper died. oh well... he was like 74 and had cancer so... it's sort of sad but that's the way the world works. there was another romanian actor who died this week and he was 81 and had a heart condition.
since we're on the 8th house vibe here as in "sex, death and money", i'll notice the money part. i want it, because it's mine. you people are complete idiots if you think you are making me any favor by paying my salary. i sincerely hope karma bites you on the ass big time because you can't treat people like that. same thing for those idiots ruling this country. they're plain out thieves and liars. what's worse, they're really lame thieves and liars and they deserve some karmic punishment for that. as in rocks falling from the sky, major plain crash while all the government and members of parliament are on board. the crash should be somewhere in the middle of the ocean or in the desert, just to make sure none of them survives. a public funeral is less expensive than them being alive and making an entire country suffer. i am so glad i didn't vote for anyone, at least i don't have to live with that shame.
the one above was totally a lilith moment. so far, that sort of attitude was reserved for exes, yet another 8th house subject, the sexing. it was interesting, when some days ago someone asked me if i ever get mad and what makes me mad. my reply was "significant other". astrologically, i think that what really pushes my buttons are lilith issues as in trying to take my power away from me in a relationship. of course this triggers a magnitude 10 reaction.
i'm still working on this subject. it's quite interesting, especially as BML conjuncts very tightly pluto and the sun and the vertex so it's a major aspect.
