The Cliffs of Insanity

Breszny strikes again with this insightful horrible-scope for Virgo.

The average person throws out 19 pounds of garbage per week. Between now and August 24, however, you have license to exceed that figure by a large margin. In fact, Virgo, the cosmos would love you to carry out a Great Purge. So take full advantage of this opportunity to lighten your load. Get rid of every last scrap of dross and clutter, give away anything that has outlived its usefulness, and unburden yourself of outmoded necessities that have been sitting untouched in a closet or storage unit for more than a year. As much as you possibly can, free yourself of the unnecessary residues of your past.

I really don't think this applies to just this week, though. This is going to be my life for the next month or so, I'd wager. There's a great deal of material, physical, emotional, and mental, I need to make go away. I want 2005 to be remembered as the Year of Redefinition.

As Jean Luc Picard would say: "Make it so!"

Virgo
In the 1933 movie King Kong, the starring gorilla appeared to be 25 feet tall--so humongous that airplanes had to shoot him down from the top of the Empire State Building. But the model used to depict Kong in that era of primitive special effects was just 18 inches high. This discrepancy is similar to the gap between your perceptions of your personal monster and the truth about it, Virgo. It may seem to be a giant, but in reality you could hold it in the palm of your hand.

How apropo...

I just read that James Doohan has crossed over in the Nexus. May his journeys unfold with the adventure and sweetness he so very much deserves. Safe Journeys, Montgomery Scott. You will be missed. Say hi to Bones for me over there, will you?
