Time For More Pictures

( What I've been journaling about )

From FreeWill Astrology: Sagittarius for Week of May 22nd, 2008

During America's first war on Iraq in 1991, I prophesied that one day there'd be a Disneyland in Baghdad. It was a surrealistically sardonic send-up of my native country's imperialism. But now, 17 years later, my absurd prediction is coming true. The same American company that designed the original Disneyland has announced plans to build the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience. If workers survive bombing, looting, and sniper fire, the first part of the 50-acre amusement park will open this year. While I question whether building a monument to fun is a good idea in an actual war zone, it's an excellent metaphor for you to apply to your personal life. Even if you can't extinguish a certain conflict that has been raging, try to introduce a spirit of play into the proceedings.

I went to game stores in my travels and saw that I couldn't afford a pack of the latest version of Wizkids' Pirates of the Cursed Seas game. Maybe when I have a few more sheikels to rub together...

I want to plunder some islands and sink some enemy ships and monsters. Arr!

Useless Horoscopes

The MSN one for today says I should have a night out with my love partner. The closest thing I have to that is on the other side of the nation, and it would never work (she smokes and is a vegetarian; I'm a non-smoker and flesh-eater).

The Yahoo! Sagittarius one says I need to hang with people who feed my ego. Not too many of those around. I'm only a finite amount of awesome.

The Yahoo! Year of the Horse one says I should be doing good work and feel okay by myself. Hmmph.
