Yesterday was a productive day... I interviewed Kid Koala, I cleaned up my room, I made chicken stock, and comforted a friend-in-law about her recent breakup. How cool am I?
Yes, yes... it's the morning after I interviewed Kid Koala, and I'm still all smiles. Kid Koala rocks. Look at his website... play the trailer. posted by Alleen at 11:17:39 AM

Despite other sad events that also have this day as their anniversary, I've decided to declare this my birthday week. It's the only way I can justify the fact that I currently have the worst hair in history ever. Party party!

It's my birthday!
My horoscope from Free Will astrology's Rob Brezny:
The largest meeting of world religious leaders in history was virtually unreported by the media. The top-secret event transpired in 2002, when leading representatives from every major faith gathered in Italy. They issued a "Decalogue for Peace," which denounced violence committed in the name of God and religion. It also declared, "We commit ourselves to those who suffer poverty and abandonment and who have no voice." The media deemed many other stories more important than this unprecedented breakthrough, like Mike Tyson getting his boxing license, John Walker Lindh making a court appearance, and the Enron hearings beginning. I bring this up, Virgo, because a comparable marvel is unfolding in your own life, and you haven't noticed it yet.
My horoscope from astrologyzone.com:
With so many planets crowded in Virgo, this month would normally be a perfect time to forge ahead on key projects. Not so fast. With Mercury, your ruler, in retrograde, you will need to bide your time until September 20 when improved conditions prevail. Resist signing agreements or making pricey purchases until after that date. In the meantime, luxuriate in the leisurely pace this month will offer.
The month's only turbulence will center on one close relationship near the full moon, September 10. As much as you'd like to, you won't be able to put off making an important decision; things are reaching a boiling point. Your family members may inject themselves into the situation, which would only complicate things. Remind yourself that lucky Jupiter in Virgo is a highly protective influence, and that you hold all the winning cards.
Responding too quickly to any offers, challenges or comments this month would be a bad idea. Take life slow and easy. Later you will be glad you gave a careful, considered response.
My horoscope in the Hindustan Times:
General - Ruled by number 1 and the Sun. You are independent, confident, intelligent and highly enthusiastic person. You have a knack for negotiating things to your advantage. People in your group consider you an asset, but you need to check your tendencies to behave, moody, extravagant and reckless at times.
The months of December, March and July would be productive.
Career - This year you would be opposing many of your employer’s policies and methods. It would be extremely difficult for you to keep your thoughts to yourself, which would create problems for you at times. You need to behave in a very tactful manner to avoid arguments and confrontations.
Finance - Your earnings would increase but you need to control your spending.
Romance - You and your beloved would reach a new level of understanding. You would also accomplish a lot together which would bring happiness and peaceful atmosphere at home. Health of someone close in the family would be a matter of serious concern.

After a week of half-hearted dogsitting and mild depression, the last thing I wanted to do was hang out with my dad in Paris.
Even I will admit that there are worse things in life and yes, I'm being a big huge brat for complaining. But, of course, that's never stopped me before. However, I'm feeling diplomatic today, so I'm just going to do this:
Trip highlight: listening to the drummers in front of Notre Dame. And then eventually realising that because of the weird acoustics of their chosen spot, I could still hear them from the other side of the river.
Trip lowlight: trying to find a cab in Paris at 2am that would take four people. There isn't one.
