Safe and Secure

Your horoscopes for Monday, June 30, 2008
General Weekly Love Horoscope
Passionate Mars enters prim and proper Virgo this week, which normally has a tendency to cool down romance. However, loving Venus provides a robust counterpoint with a taste for excess and an interest in unconventional experiences. Trying something new seems about right, but approach it with safety and security in mind.

Sagittarius Love Horoscope for you~
Going too far can be awfully tempting this week. Letting your emotions get the best ...

Not feeling very safe and secure with the latest FISA shenanigans from our government.

Thank you lucky stars for Senator Chris Dodd and the too few others who are trying to hold the executive branch accountable for their illegal encroachments on our liberty.

I hope you were bored to tears listening to my phone conversations.

Oh, and those wild e-mails, but they were my personal stuff and you had no legal right to peek.

It may seem like a small thing, but it is major. What do you tell your children and grandchildren when they ask you what you did to stop this?

In London some of the spy cameras now have audio. "Pick up that paper, miss!" Yikes!

Big Brother is alive and well and coming your way.

"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and the heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." ~Frederick Buechner

Castles In The Air

Your horoscopes for Monday, June 23, 2008
General Weekly Love Horoscope
Venus, the love planet, spends another week in careful Cancer, cutting the likelihood of risk taking, as safety takes priority over excitement. It's a time of vulnerability when even the mildest of comments can feel harsh. Being self-protective is understandable, but expressing fears while remaining open to hope is an excellent recipe for achieving intimacy.
Sagittarius Love Horoscope for you
Keep your social life as simple as possible this weekend, Sagittarius

Self-protective? Maybe that's why I've been making castles. Nah, they're for a lovely swap over at Alpha Stamps. Great theme, Sleeping Beauty/ Grimm's Fairy Tale theme. I'm glued out!

Out of the blue, my Aunt Marie, who will be celebrating her 89th birthday in August, called early this morning to ask a pertinant question about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

"You're the first person I thought to call. Do you remember who killed Buffy?"

For some reason I did remember. She couldn't chat. She was on her way to church.

Man, I hope some of those genes are mixed in my pool.

I'm still getting my vampire book's blog together. It should be up this week now that I am free of castles and fairy tales for a while.

Kudos to Dennis Kucinich for keeping the impeachment issue in the forefront despite the spineless behaviour of his peers.

Beautiful collage sheets from Leslie at Alpha Stamps!

Next Week
For the Week of Jun 9th, 2008 -- Instead of leading the social parade, as you often do, you might prefer to stay in the background this weekend. Don't force yourself to go out, if you're not in the mood. Being alone can be more refreshing than depressing. A quiet time with one or two close friends may be all the company you really need now.

If you could use a hug right now this one's for you. Sappy, yes. Feel-good, oh yes!
Three minutes of good vibes will do you good.

Remember Tibet

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

As for National Chocolate Ice Cream Day...humid, hot, sticky weather tends to have a wilting effect on me. I may pour a cool creamy chocolate shake all over me just to feel cool...and yummy!
Waiting for the big race. Go Big Brown! Like chocolate ice cream, I hope it is your day, too.
Well, the Belmont Stakes is run. Big Brown's meltdown was like watching chocolate ice cream on a cone morph into sweet rivulets dripping down your hand. Poor boy!

Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art hosts 'Foto: Modernity in Central Europe 1918-1945'

(Edinburgh, Scotland) -- The National Galleries of Scotland, hosts Foto: Modernity in Central Europe 1918-1945 a thought-provoking and beautiful exhibition that explores the breathtaking success of modernist photography in Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Austria, during a time of tremendous social and political upheaval. Organised by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this will be the only European showing of Foto, and it will include many stunning works on display in Britain for the first time.
The first survey to explore this fascinating period in the history of photography, Foto will be unprecedented in scope, comprising around 150 photographs, books, and illustrated magazines, and will feature the work of more than 100 photographers. Images by internationally recognised masters such as László Moholy-Nagy, Hannah Höch, André Kertész, and El Lissitzky will be shown alongside those of historically important contemporaries such as Karel Teige, Edith Tudor Hart, František Drtikol, Martin Munkacsi and Trude Fleischmann.Foto will demonstrate how photography caught the imagination of hundreds of progressive artists in central Europe, provided a creative outlet for thousands of dedicated amateurs, and became a symbol of modernity for millions through its use in magazines, newspapers, advertising, and books. The show will be divided into thematic sections, each bringing together work from across central Europe, to explore in depth eight key strands such as photomontage and war, gender identity, life and leisure in the modern metropolis, and the spread of Surrealism.Commenting on the Dean Gallery exhibition, Matthew Witkovsky, Curator of Foto and Associate Curator of Photographs at NGA, Washington, said: “Presenting Foto in Scotland, home to many great talents of early photography and especially the team of David O. Hill and Robert Adamson, has a special meaning. The first art historical studies of photography were written in central Europe during the time period of this exhibition, and the very first such study was on Hill and Adamson. Past and present, regional and international came together in central Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, as they do in Edinburgh today.”Simon Groom, Director of Modern & Contemporary Art at the National Galleries of Scotland, said: “Foto is one of the most important and intelligent photography exhibitions of recent years. The works are radical politically as well as aesthetically, and the exhibition contains many of the ideas and iconic images that were to establish photography's status as the avant-garde medium of the 20th century.”The first of four major summer exhibitions at the NGS, Foto will present a collection of stimulating and varied works of international significance, which will allow viewers to appreciate some of the most challenging, yet beautiful, experimental photography of the twentieth century.Visit : http://www.nationalgalleries.org/

This Week's Love Horoscope

Sagittarius Love Horoscope (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
You're a fan of travel and foreign cultures, either of which can boost your romantic prospects this weekend. Planning a trip with someone is exciting, but there are also chances to connect with someone at events associated with faraway places. Broaden your horizons and increase your chances to find love.

Let's see, what event could that be? Maybe my bellydancers' reunion.
