I was wondering when we would hear more about this.:

Well, that was depressing.

Shrimp is still my favorite food. If I grow a third eye eating it…oh well. I’ll just get LASIK for that one, too.

This is just tooooo good

"Your Zodiac Sign May Have Changed" (...and it did)

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 10:48:56 -0500

Excerpts from a recent article found whilst trolling the internet at work (thank you MaureenOConnerpleasedon’tsuemeforplagiarism):

“Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth’s axis. Prepare to have your minds blown, all you people with easily blowable minds.

Here is the zodiac as the ancient Babylonians intended it—with the dates corresponding to the times of the year that the sun is actually in each constellation’s “house”—according to the Minnesota Planetarium Society’s Parke Kunkle:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year.

I was born a Virgo, and because that’s the shittiest sign in the zodiac, I have long refused to believe in astrology and forbid my loved ones from believing in it, either. (My anal retentive need to destroy an entire worldview because I do not like my role in it is, I am told, part of my Virgo nature.) If I’m really a Leo, though, who knows.

Well. Now I’m a Ophiuchus. I wish I could pronounce that.

I mounted my own investigation, because although I enjoy being a Sagittarius (I wish I could properly spell THAT one), I never really seemed to fit in with its description of me as “adventurous,” “brave,” “outdoorsy,” etc.

According to another site:

Easy. Chapstick. I currently have 8 of them in my bag. This is not an exaggeration.

Although it would be fitting for my first post to be fraught with meaning, I really only have three things on my mind:

1) I’m still feeling icky

2) I’m going to buy this shirt: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/popculture/9722/?cpg=froogle

3) …I already forgot the third thing.

More interesting posts to follow, I promise.

Happy New Year!
