Thanks, world. Thanks a lot.

I've been sort of stuck with some editing I've been working on, along with being too busy to get serious work done on the last (I hope) major chapter rewrite I have left to do. There's probably about two weeks work left on this entire manuscript, and the fact that I'm stalled on one fairly minor part gets up my nose something awful.

Today's horoscope:

Leo

You have the creative ability to make a real "go" of your music or writing. Why do you not put it to better use? Are you afraid of taking the risk? Today you may be inspired to rise above your fear, as you read a book or hear a piece of music that moves you to want to create one of your own. It's never too late to get started, dear Leo.

Oh, fuck off, stars. Just fuck off.

I could have gone all day without reading that horoscope, and I would have been perfectly fine.

Blasted ironic horoscopes! Happily I am a Scorpio. *procrastinates*

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm scorpio. I have a thing for scorpios, somehow. I'm completely surrounded by them. :)

You are, indeed. *does the evil Scorpio dance*

Also, I felt like bragging about my Free Will Astrology horoscope, which is much less pushy than your horoscope above:

SCORPIO
Your word of power for the coming weeks is incubate. Like a mother duck or father penguin, you should sit on your metaphorical eggs to keep them warm and prepare them for hatching. Like an artist, you should push your analytical mind to the limit as you seek insight about your next creative move, then relax and wait for your intuition to sprout. Like a skilled lucid dreamer, you should formulate a good question about a dicey problem, and hold it in your mind as you fall asleep, fully expecting your dreams to reveal a brilliant solution.

"Relax and sleep on it." Now that's a horoscope I can get behind!

Oh good, there's a reason I'm procrastinating. *continues not to work*

Personally, I am much more fond of Free Will Astrology (http://www.freewillastrology.com). Your horoscope for the week of January 22:

LEO
Each of us has felt the pressure to be a more perfect lover. "Maxim" and "Cosmopolitan" magazines are two of many sources that barrage us with instructions on how to improve our techniques, expand our repertoires, and become telepathic masters of the art of dispensing pleasure. In the coming weeks, I believe you Leos will probably be subject to some of this goading. That could be good if it motivates you in a healthy way; not so good if it makes you feel defensive and self-conscious. To ensure that the mood stays light, I suggest you round up a partner who is willing to collaborate with you in a Bad Sex Festival. During the designated holiday, the two of you will intentionally engage in an orgy of awkward, contrived, and slapstick sex.

Then again, hmmm.

I'm just not good enough at anything anymore. Not writing, not sex...I'm losing my religion over here!

[novembersnow.livejournal.com]

Well, they do say that practice makes perfect.... ;)
