I’ve never believed in horoscope mumbojumbo. But sometimes it’s fun to look back on the horoscope for the previous day to see what “matches up” with what actually happened.
Sometimes I don’t like what I read and have to remind myself that I don’t believe in it.
For example, today I clicked on the horoscopes link on the Yahoo! main page.
I read today’s ’scope. Blah blah money life goals, hibbity bibbity.
I click on “Next Day” to see what is in store for me tomorrow.
This is what I get.
(If it’s been corrected, here’s a screencap)

Creepy!
Good thing I don’t believe in this crap… right?

July is gonna be pretty damn busy.
Adam and I have our tickets to Europe, so that means I’m in debt now. This is the point that I start talking to myself.
Jen, you are aware of these things that the bank offers right? They’re called Savings Accounts. You save money there. You know, that stuff you work so hard for and so easily pass out to various stores and entertainment venues?
Maybe one of my problems is that I depend on my debt credit card. I always say “If I had cash on me, I’d spend it.” But.. what the hell am I doing with my card?
Anyway.
Tickets, purchased. Next up, Amsterdam hotel or hostel. Gotta deal with that Friday. Oh and that passport thing. Yeah-yeah I know. Leave me alone. I’ll get it.
So anyway, this month will be filled with various events– 4th of July weekend (which will involve scrapbooking, watching Live 8, and working on a furniture restoring project), then there’s Matt’s Hollywood Coke Party (yay coca-cola!… wait.. what?) theeeeen a SLEW of wedding related events. Bridal showers, Bachelorette /Bachelor party(or parties), and of course the weddings themselves.
Oh and everyone should go to the 14th Annual Mariachi Festival in downtown San Jose. It’ll be fun. It’s on the 17th. It’s free. There will be music, dancing, food, and crafts. Fun for the whole family!
Alright, this is a boring post. But I felt the need to post something.. and this is all I’ve got. woo.

Clip from the linked interview
Bryan’s Blog #17
Video interview with the writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty.
“How does Superman differentiate between the different events around the world that he needs to help out in? We got this kinda idea that he shoots straight up through the sky. He goes higher-higher and higher above the cloud layer and he stops and he’s floating… just waiting and listening.”

Rusted Memories – cross-processed
Three cheers for Adam and his abundance of random video cards! The problem has been solved, I can once again upload my photos and they won’t look like crap! (Well, the non-crappy ones at least.)
But, until I can delete some of my unnecessary files – my computer might just cease working altogether. Thanks to the pooload of photos I have stored on my computer, I now only have about 400MB free on my hard disk. I keep getting that Low Disk Space warning.
It’s almost as scary as a Blue Screen of Death.

I remember when summer meant nothing but reruns and made-for-tv movies. Now, new shows are always popping up. Midseason replacement? Pfft. Seasons schmeasons.
Anyway, I found a new favorite show.
30 Days on FX, hosted/created by Morgan Spurlock (the dude from Supersize Me – a movie which I still need to see for various reasons.)
Mini-documentaries on 30 day-experiments people put themselves through. This is no bug eating, island-scavaging, world racing, bachelor/ette-wooing type show — no, this show has substance. Future episodes include a man trying to regain his youth by using anti-aging drugs (with a nutritionist and doctor monitoring his lifestyle), a couple going “back to nature” – living in an ‘eco village’ without gas and other comforts, and a mother who lives as her college-aged binge-drinking daughter. The premiere episode had Spurlock and his fiance living on minimum wage for 30 days. As expected, it wasn’t easy for them. Though, throughout the episode there are various tidbits of information thrown our way. Things I never knew about or even bothered to read about (government, taxes, etc.)
I’d go into details about the episode, but I really suggest you check it out for yourself. It’ll be on Friday at midnight and Sunday at 11pm.
There you go, two chances to catch my new favorite show.
Ooh and I must say, we had to switch from SBC to Comcast when we moved. At first it irked me – I’ve heard nothing but bleh regarding Comcast. BUT! Now we get E! and FX. FX! We get to watch The Shield again!

It saddens me that I have no photos to share. But, you see, I haven’t been able to upload them to my computer.
Something happened to my computer during the move. Whatever happened either happened to my video card or to my monitor. (Thankfully the guts of my computer is just fine – good thing too because I don’t feel like going 5150 on anyone’s ass.)
Anyway. The problem is my screen has a wiggle to it. It shimmies and shakes in some spots which causes the many icons to frolic on my desktop. Within minutes of attempting to use the computer, I felt a headache coming on and a RAGE that rivaled those normally accompanied by “Aunt Flo”. So I went to the bedroom and watched TV. Watching Tom Welling behave apathetically because of his red-kryptonite school ring soothed my anger. Sigh.. Tom Welling.. on a motorcycle…. but I digress.
So instead of random photos of Kitchen Appliances Gone Wild! or Adam & Jen’s Moving Extravaganza – I bring you a few links to things that have caught my eye or entertained me the last few days.

umm… more later. Sleep now.

Always label your boxes as you pack. It not only makes sense, it helps in the long run. When I see a box I labeled as “BOOKS” I know to use more gusto when picking it up. I’d start to pick up one of Adam’s mystery boxes and nearly pull my back out.
I think I kindly reminded Adam about the idea of labeling his boxes about 10 times in the course of three days.
“Would you like me to remind you again why you should have labeled your boxes?”
“I knoooow.. I knoooow.”
Come to find out, he had started to label them early on. Why stop in the middle?
He said he accidentally packed the pen he was using.

I started packing MONTHS ago. Months! And yet.. here we are, the 11th hour, packing like our lives depended on it.
Oh yeah. It smells like pee outside.
Adam said it smelled like popcorn.
yeah.
Time to finish packing.
