Horoscopes and City and Colour

I consider myself to be of sound mind and a generally pretty reasonable person; when I'm doing planetarium shows at work, I always tell the kids that ASTROLOGY is not a science and ASTRONOMY is. But I always feel like a little bit of a fraud, because love reading my horoscope. Or anyone's horoscope for that matter. I don't really believe in all that business, but I think the idea that it might be true is fascinating. I guess I just don't want to rule out the possibility that there is some cosmic interaction at work.

The Orion Nebula is not where horoscopes are made.

I'm a Taurus (May 9th, for those of you keeping track at home) and I think the characteristics suit me pretty well. I know, I know, they are always generalized and could be anyone, but I don't care. According to the Huffington Post (no, really) "Taurus isn't necessarily like a Bull in a ring with a toreador. You could be more like peace-loving Ferdinand, seeking the gentle meadows filled with flowers, sunshine and natural beauty. It's only Taurus stubbornness that can make you angry enough to charge at someone who is disturbing your peace." I do love a good meadow. And it was on the internet, so it has to be true.

The best horoscopes I've ever read are in the Jackson Hole News and Guide. They were always oddly specific. I'm tempted to subscribe just so I can get my daily horoscope. Unfortunately they are not available online.My second favorite horoscopes are done my Susan Miller of astrologyzone.com. You want details? Susan will give you details. Lots of them.

This week's hot jam is The Girl by City and Colour. City and Colour is actually just one guy named Dallas Green (a city and a color, get it?) And he's from Canada. Hence the added U in Colour. This song speaks to my inner emo kid. I just just imagine converse-wearing high school girls pining away for some tattooed, guitar playing, sensitive soul to sing this to them. Okay, that would have been me in high school, I admit. I also really like that Dallas looks kind of like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite in the video. Swoon?
