Spent lots of time yesterday running hither and yon for medical & bureaucratic reasons before finally collapsing on a bus stop bench and reading while the sun set. The Miles Vorkosigan books still seem to be exactly what I need to read now. I wonder what I'll do once I've gone through all the ones the library's got?

I had a dream recently where

gurdonark,

mystified13, and

verian all got together to collaborate on some music. As dream situations go, that one has to be one of the least unlikely I've seen lately, even if Verian and Mystified don't have each other on their friends lists.

Silly astrology stuff--this week's horoscopes from Free Will Astrology:

For Leo, my rising sign and moon sign:

Here's some advice I bet you won't get from any other astrologer, therapist, or counselor: Get ungrounded for a while. You heard me, Leo. Detach from your moorings. Sail up into the stratosphere and exult in having your head in the clouds. Be dreamy and floaty and airy-fairy (except when driving or operating heavy machinery, of course). For best results, you might also want to throw off your chains.

For Libra, where the sun and several planets were hanging out back when I was born:

You're renowned for your balancing acts, Libra. Seeing both sides of every story is your specialty. Striving to make opposites attract is an inclination you were born to cultivate. You may not always be in the mood to fight for harmony, and you may not always succeed at maintaining equilibrium, but you work harder at these fine arts than any other sign of the zodiac. Having said all that, though, I will now advise you to rebel against your usual shtick. It's time for you to try out a new unbalancing act--to go to extremes without worrying about covering your ass. The cosmos is giving you permission to be unapologetically vivacious and mischievously blunt as you say, "It's my way or the highway." (P.S. You might want to study the style of your Aries acquaintances.)

So I'm advised to be unbalanced and ungrounded this week, eh? Well, I'll do what I can!

Note to anyone who has ever used Launchcast: the free usage limit has been increased from 450 songs per month to 3000 per month. Woo!

If communities were people, I'd be telling

tuesdaywalk and

urban_nature that they should get to know each other, 'cos even with their differences, I think they'd get along really well. Then when they feel comfortable with each other, they could hold parties and invite

sunsetpictures and

iamthelorax and

buried_in_green and maybe even

hummingbirders. But they're not really people, so I'll just have to dream.

Huh! You never know.

I don't know if Verian's looking at LJ much these days, but it's true--you never know. :-)

How are you doing these days, anyway?

I am fine, thanks! Getting through some computer troubles, but ticking along. Hope you are tolerably well, also?

Glad you know you're well! Ah, computer troubles are a pain. Here's hoping you get those sorted out soon.

I'm doing pretty well here. Stressed out as usual, but not unbearably so.

Verian and I do collaborate, and I'm by way of being a fan of mystified, so it's not a bad dream.

My ambition in life is to have songs on launchcast. Not that I understand it, though I think I'm a member there. Just because it sounds like a good thing to say.

Yep, that was one of those rare dreams where I thought, "I can see that happening in the real world."

To get on Launchcast, I think you'd need to be on a record label willing to work with Yahoo. I have no idea what would be involved, but if you ever get any recordings put up on Yahoo's Launchcast, I'd gladly give Gurdonark a high rating!
