Getting a bit of help from Moc Duc

No sooner than the plastic was up on the windows than my sore throat turned into a genuine feeling of illness. I am not very good at getting sick so usually I have to define it via dizzy spells and lethargy. Any other physical symptoms I end up putting down to laziness.

So I am sick, lazy or suffering from an inner ear disorder, or all of the above.

Luckily, I have the internet and have more or less finished shopping for the next two days so it's not that bad a thing to be stuck in sofa-mode for a couple of days.

My Chinese horoscope has been published for 2007 too - so I can hunker down for a while with Master Roa and figure out what the Chinese astrologist has to say about my future

so far the prognosis is okay - instances of melancholy tempered by foggy relational disturbances (can't really say what that's about yet...). The good news is that the planets of Quan Doi and Moc Duc are in my corner this year that means, according to Master Roa; "Quan Doi will help you to be personal, authentic and innovative while Moc Duc will increase your intuition, your creativity, and give you the desire to be generous."

Alrighty. As soon as I finish feeling like my throat has been lined with sandpaper I will get down to work.

Ugh... I hate being sick it's so boring, also Villette, Charlotte Brontes other major work is turning out to be a major disappointment compared to Jane Eyre. If Jane is the girl I want in my corner then Lucy Snowe is a twisted little bouquet of saccharine bitchiness. A little prude who shows no good judgment and still less self-esteem.

Anyways maybe I am just angry that I finished my Christmas comic book so early. Maybe I am just sick, I get bitchy when ill.

I freaking love the way Chinese speech gets anglicized, I think I only ever want advice or predictions from people who are speaking in English as their second language from Chinese. George Lucas totally knew what he was doing when he had Yoda talk the way he did. Broken English sounds so much more endearing and wise than any sort of proper utterance, take for example master Roa's ideas about the fourth trimester of my love life.

"If you're alone, the arrival of the planet Tu Vi in your sign will signal the start of a period favorable to amorous encounters. Perhaps this time you'll meet someone who'll make your heart thump."

It's true, I love it when my heart thumps, that's exactly the feeling I am looking for. My heart keeps going pitter-pat when it should be acting like a timpani.

Oh yeah - Happy New Years everyone - although it's only new years to people who accept Jesus Christ as their savior, let's bear that in mind while you're out sucking back snifters full of vodka Jello. Okay, there's that whole sick -bitchy thing coming out again. I'll see you all at Rosh Hashanah with some honey wine and apples.
