7:01pm

got out and walked for an hour with jason and then we ate a little bit of japanese food.
i think i saw 2 wild yellow canaries outside! or some sort of tiny yellow bird.
i'm going over to watch a movie at jason's and then we are both coming back over here.

3:54pm

i should eat something and get dressed for a walk. jason is on his way home.
i've been reminiscing about music from my childhood. so i'm downloading some bee gees and jesus christ superstar :)

3:39pm

the 1st record (vinyl, of course) i ever bought was "spirits having flown" by the bee gees
the 1st 45 vinyl single was "if you leave me now" by chicago
my 1st "rock" concert was billy joel

i'm so uncool :)

my 1st memories of pop music are the songs "this is the dawning of the age of aquarius" and "up up and away my beautiful balloon"
which i almost named my last cd after, but then didn't.

the records i grew up listening to as a child because these were the records in my paraents record collection were:
the beatles (sgt pepper)
james taylor
joni mitchell
simon and garfunkel
cat stevens
buffy sainte-marie (little wheel spin and spin)
godspell
jesus christ superstar
and then a whole bunch of classical music

and this weird dr. seuss record i had.

Horoscope for Aries (May 20 2005)

Holding in the way you feel may be a mistake. If you let your emotions mount, it will be difficult to control your temper. Affection and goodwill should be what you strive for. Be honest in a diplomatic way.

Doing nothing
Although this is normally a pleasant influence, producing good times and pleasant leisure, under some circumstances it can be a period of testing to see if relationships are on a sound footing. The test may consist of situations that will determine your ability to maintain your individuality within your important relationships. This influence produces a tendency to compromise rather than to stand up for your beliefs and rights. Someone may take advantage of your good nature at this time, which is not a tremendous danger, but something to keep in mind when dealing with people today. At this time your energies are rather low, not so that you feel sick, but so that you feel like doing nothing. Your work may not be done carefully because your heart is not really in it.

Traditionally, the breezy air of Gemini feeds the fire of Aries and as the Sun moves through Gemini over the next month, you can radiate more energy than a quasar. Today, however, as your key planet, Mars, aspects mental Mercury, you can go right over the top. Tips for the days ahead include cutting back on the caffeine, obeying speed limits and counting to ten before you begin to talk.
