today's horoscope, the stars have a sense of humor, as always

[offbalance]

Surprises and miracles are a matter of course. Whether you're the cook, the host or the guest, special things seem to happen in the presence of food. Why talk when you could be singing?

"Life's a song you don't get to rehearse
and every single verse
can make it that much worse...
So give me something to sing about!
I need something to sing about!"

so today I send my resume and a rather nice (I thought) cover letter to HR about an admin asst position in sales. It was filled TODAY. grrr!

and though I'm really adoring Neverwhere, there's a teeny tiny voice inside of me yelling about how Gaiman stole the whole London Below concept from TV's Beauty and the Beast series (the one with Linda Hamilton). Only difference is that the one in the series was a utopia underneath New York, and the one in the novel is more of a dystopia, but I digress. It's still an amazing book, and it's taking real discipline for me to not just sit and read it all day. I want to. It's calling out to me. But that's what lunch is for. As is for getting my New York Public Library Card, to match my Brooklyn Public Library One. ;)

It is? Which stuff and which newspapers? I'd be interested to know, being of a Caledonian extraction...

Aaah. Well, that's the Scotsman for you. The editor is a right-wing git and generally likes to stir up trouble.
