Astrology in real life When looking for ideas or answers or insights where do you go? Do you look high or low? Do you consult with experience, lie still or get moving to facilitate progress? Having Mars conjunct Mercury I have my best ideas while moving, either in the car or while exerting myself in some way (exercise). But there are some things that I can only access if I isolate and lie still. Others...
Two newish Divining for Starters poems appear on Gists and Piths, and there's a short piece in the Weston & Somerset Mercury on my upcoming reading at the Weston-super-Mare Arts Festival.
Gnomedex 9 ended several days ago, but I needed to think about it a bit before writing my overall impressions. Each year (I've been part of five Gnomedexes now) has a different vibe, and this one was a bit hard to pin down. It was certainly less confrontational.

I was driving home from the doctor today, listening to one of those mix stations that claim they play everything, and it was like a walk through the 80s for about 5 songs in a row, all of which were and still are favorites of mine.

When the Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan received his Mercury Music Prize nomination, he was instantly passed off as the folk outsider. But at the awards it took just one song ? a spellbinding performance of "Be Good or Be Gone" ? to capture the hearts of many new followers, and in the week following, his album sales tripled. That this tour sold out is proof of Regan's rapid upward direction,...
There will be no 2009 Ford Crown Victoria at your local blue-oval vendor ; retail sales have dwindled, and Ford will offer the car for fleet sales only after the 2008 run is complete. Its sister under the skin, the Mercury Grand Marquis, which is produced in smaller numbers but which sells better at retail, will continue, at least for a while, along with the tarted-up Lincoln Town Car: all three vehicles...
Whole lot of shakin’ going on - The San Jose Mercury News Sharks Hockey Blog -: But, no worries. Joe Thornton did not pick up the phone, call his agent/brother and demand to be traded someplace where the ground does not do things like that. Nor did anyone else, though Craig Rivet's wife apparently was ready to pull up newly planted stakes until he talked her out of another franchise change.
