there's definitely disengaging going on

just when i'm ready to write off rob, along with all the rest, he gives me some goodies to meditate on. maybe he could smell it. i swear sometimes they can smell it.

stevie sez he's ready to get his zorg on. this i like.

i'm still sweating. it's not cool yet. the promised PENDING STORM FRONT APPROACHING WARNING GET READY 35 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM PLACE NAME ONE TO PLACE NAME TWO ain't gone down.

no thunderstorm drenching fixes things for long. but it fixes things for a minute. little washes over all the whole all of me like a cool, fat, hearty, plopping, drenching, cataclysmic cloudburst.

and when something does, it brings troubles well beyond being soaked to the point of you'll catch your death in those wet things come in here and let's get those off you here sit by the fire you silly girl what were you thinking

Don't give up on Rob!

I received some good ruminations today as well.

i do wonder how you might answer "What pose would it be a big relief for you to drop?"

[scrawlspace.livejournal.com]

Do I get to drop just one? That's my question.

Okay. I'm a little slow today--limiting the caffeine intake--wanna wean myself off a bit. Not entirely, but I need to cut back some.

OMG--I didn't notice that "rob" was a link. My horoscope is so "on" (if it's for this week--I didn't read the date):

It's Welcome Your Challenges with Open Arms Week. To take maximum advantage of this festive occasion, practice being grateful for your interesting difficulties; remind yourself of how much smarter and stronger they can make you. Celebrate the riddles and dilemmas that have helped and will continue to help transform you into such a uniquely gorgeous creature. Now study these words of wisdom from playwright Theodore Rubin: "The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem."

free will + astrology = oxymoron?

The Virgo one makes me scritch my head a bit:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "The things that can destroy us," said Gandhi, "are politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice." You Virgos are better than most signs at avoiding six of those dangers. The one you're most prone to get tripped up by is knowledge without character. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to check in with yourself to see if you're guilty of that flaw, and then, if you find a shortfall, take steps to correct it. Make sure that you're not only being smart, but also wise.

Here's how my week's actually been shaping up:

It's burn CDs for your upcoming roadtrip to Atlanta week. Make sure you have some decent music with you. ELO will be good for when you guys are really tired and on the verge of slap happy and want to sing in a goofy way, while newer stuff like Built to Spill will keep you energized.

That, and model sloth for the dogs week. Having lots of headache action this week, I find myself lying on the couch a lot, joined by the dogs, as we goad one another on to more and more extreme displays of sloth and states of semi- or no-consciousness.
