Horoscopes, Vol. 1

Aries | March 21 – April 19

The world will rejoice, and cherish you this week, when your overuse of ironically saying, “you go, girl” gets you beat up – and serves as a warning for all to stop saying that.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20

Lady luck is on your side this week, said no one to you.

Gemini | May 21 – June 21

Not content to let dogs lie, you will also let them cheat and steal this week.

Cancer | June 22 – July 22

Papa needs a new pair of shoes!

Leo | July 23 – August 22

While you are not normally argumentative, you can still best be described with a word that rhymes with witchocles.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22

Virrrrrrrgoooooooo. It’s fun to say it in a voice like you’re a fog horn. Come on, try it.

Libra | September 23 – October 23

A lot of positive energy will be heading your way this week, unfortunately it will be heading your way under the not so gentle hands of a drunk driver. Buckle up!

Scorpio | October 24 – November 21

Prepare for an emotional week, when your lack of sleep leads you to be a real pain.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19

Your friends will come up big this week, when you guilt them into getting ice cream with you while you complain about your jerk co-worker, Tom.

What do you call it when you and a “partner” get so blackout drunk that you manage to have a one night stand, two nights in a row? By Thursday, you’ll know.

Pisces | February 19 – March 20

Focus your energy, and hone your chi, or whatever. What do you expect, it’s the last horoscope – I’m all out of ideas.

Don’t Tell Me What to Do, Sign!!

Soooophisticated!

Airplanes, her brother and I went and saw the symphony at the Sydney Opera House. It was great. They performed Beethoven’s 9th, which was a joy. An … ode … to joy.

Anywho.

Before the symphony we decided to go to the Opera Bar to eat a little bit. I decided to have a drink. Airplanes also decided to get a drink. I was going to get a beer, Airplanes was going to get a glass of the Opera Bar Shiraz. Then, inspiration struck. Why not just split a bottle of this Opera Bar wine!? Brilliant!

The key to going from being sophisticated to soooooo-phisticated is having half a bottle of wine. Yes, indeed.

With some wine in me, and noticing a fellow opera frequenter (I’ve never actually seen an opera) who was sporting the sweater tied around his shoulders, I decided a photo op would be nice!

Splendid, I say, what what! Am I right?

Notice that behind me, to the right, is a person also holding a glass of some booze. Turns out she was a fellow jokester, and wanted in on the action. She jumped up and gave me rabbit ears, to try and ruin the picture. I had a pretty good laugh at that, so then we staged a sophisticated photo, together.

Check out the fella to our right, deliberately not looking at us. This guy was the angry boyfriend. Whoops! Apparently his girlfriend was having a much better day than he was …

After the lovely symphony ended, Airplanes, her bro, and I headed outside for some more pictures of the Opera House. How could we not? My motto for this trip was that there’s a good chance I’ll never be back to Australia (do you know how far away that place is!! and how many other places in the world there are to see!!), so I had better take 4 billion pictures.

Thankfully, Airplanes’ brother noticed a great photo opportunity. A woman, with her family, was passed out cold. Happily residing in sleepy town.

Maybe she had decided to take on a full bottle of wine by herself before the symphony. I’m not sure. Anyhow, I jumped at the opportunity and took a spot beside her. (Why? Because I am sooooophisticated!)

It would’ve been better without the program over my face, but I couldn’t help but laugh.
