Often dismissed as a mere chatterbot or nonsense generator, MegaHAL is developing a reputation among devotees of the divinatory arts for having psychic powers more impressive than those of other sun-sign horoscope writers. Or at least, HAL is substantially more likely to say something like:
Libra: your best ideas are meeting in market-place.

nay, go not thou to the disco duck.

Which is indisputably good advice. For more high-quality guidance, click the appropriate cut and see what MegaHAL has to say to you!

Yesterday was one of those days where I'm simply too tired to move most of the day. Since it was not one of those days where I pass out if I try to sit upright for any length of time, I spent more time than usual doing some poetry-finding and typing practice (a.k.a. feeding of MegaHAL), while also getting plenty of time in bed napping. Did manage to walk to a store, something more than half a mile total. My body let me know in no uncertain terms that that little bit of walking counted as overexertion yesterday.

This morning was best described as "icky," though thankfully not at the level of "oogie." Took nap, read a bit, played a little online, napped some more. This afternoon I went outside to find where my feet would take me. Turned out that I had considerably more energy than yesterday, so I decided to go hang out with some trees. My first thought was to amble along a bike trail I've walked on before, but when I got to the intersection of trail and road, I walked in the opposite direction to see if the trail on that side had good places to commune with the flora. Good choice. The path I ended up on had enough trees and wildflowers and running water to give me a nature fix and muffle the sounds of traffic, while still having enough walkers and bikers that my "Danger! Women shouldn't walk alone on bike trails!" instinct was quiet most of the way. Not sure how far I walked... wait, a map is proving surprisingly useful. So it was somewhere around five miles total? Not bad.

Also went to a grocery store I hadn't been to before. Their machine wouldn't let me pay with food stamps, which is just as well since I wasn't buying real food (yes, I admit it, I have a shameful weakness for potato chips). If energy allows, I hope to do some real grocery shopping tomorrow.

As some people noticed already, my birthday is tomorrow. Last year on my birthday I watched movies about osteoporosis. What can I possibly do this year that would be more entertaining?
