Horoscopes: 03.24.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

It is a time of reflection for Aries. Things have been shaken up around you. You're surrounded by unsettled dust clouds and misty rain... uncertain of what caused the upheaval, and uncertain how to resolve it. Let the dust settle; it's easier to start walking once you can see the floor.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

What have you done? You've settled. You've settled for a job that does not inspire you, and for a love life with no spark. How easily we forget that inactivity is also a choice. Once chooses not to move forward. Choose otherwise.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

Single again? Perhaps it is time to start wondering whether or not "other people" are the problem. Fix that crack in the full-length mirror, because you haven't been seeing yourself quite clearly. You control the image you portray of yourself, make sure it's the one you want people to see.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Little Cancer... Oh, delicate little crab. You hold onto things too dearly.. as though letting go means they will never be replaced. Love always renews itself. There is a pearl in the ocean with your name on it, but holding on to an empty clam is pointless.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Happiness. It's far simpler than what most of us think. Usually the obstacles preventing us from finding or achieving happiness found their way in front of us, because we put them there. Love is easy too. So is peace. Don't fight everything around you. Not every match needs to end in death.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

Once upon a time, dear Virgo, you were my delight to torture, but alas fate has made me fall in love with one of your own. Such is karma. I still think you're a vain bitch, but I'll start picking on Taurus from now on. I have always said it... "People treat you exactly how you let them." You have no one to blame, but yourself for the tire marks on your back.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

You seek to find a way to sort things out and bring calm to the current turmoils of your life. Job. Significant Other. Children. Privacy. Sometimes it's not easy. However, we easily get caught up in what we don't have, that we forget to see what blessings we've been given. Count yours.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

Did you think just because your tail is full of poison that your immune to venom? You're so busy lashing out that you have failed to realize that in attempting to strike your target, you've struck yourself instead.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

Sagittarians are supposed to be the Zodiac's optimist. Why have you filled with your mind and heart with such trivial concerns that in truth carry no weight? Deal with or dismiss them. Don't let them bring anymore shadow into your life. Chances are, you've said it to others a billion times, "It all works itself out in the end." Guess what... it really does. Let it go.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

Don't fear the darkness. It can be comforting, strengthening, empowering, even healing. You've needed to begin the healing process within yourself for a long time. The hurt does not just magically go away. It's time to bring your issues to the surface and deal with them.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

You feel energized, uplifted, overjoyed, and even euphoric. Ignorance sure is bliss, honey. It's best that you don't know what's coming around the corner. If you keep skipping along, looking up at the sky, maybe the bus will swerve out of your way and fail to hit you. Yeah! >clap< >clap< Fun times!

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

Keep on swimming! Keep on swimming! Go liitle fishie! Go! You need encouragement! Support! Therapy... make an appointment. Stop following the rest of the school so closely... swim out on your own from time to time. You'll get farther.

Horoscopes: 03.17.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. You've been letting off steam slowly, but sometimes the only way people will truly understand is if you let them touch the stove and get burned.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

Isn't it amazing how quickly we can get caught up in the small day-to-day routines and forget to live and enjoy our lives? This is a one-way trip, darling, don't be afraid to leave some of the bags at home.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

Beauty is not just skin-deep. Please go to a spa, and get those nasty overgrown eyebrows tweaked a bit. People stop and look at you on the streets because you look like a yeti.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Well... things can only get better.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Why are you at home? Why are you just sitting in front of a computer, staring mindlessly out into virtual space? Boredom? Fear? Are you ugly? If you are, put a bag on your head and head outside anyway - the sun is shining!

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

I haven't said it to you enough. I've tried and tried to get the message across to you. You are just trash.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

You're life lately hasn't had any new evolutions or new devolutions for that matter either. At the least your stable; that's more than most people can say.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

Dear Scorpio, vicious little bitch of the Zodiac... sometimes the damage done after opening one's mouth cannot be undone. You would be surprised how many more friends you can maintain if you just practice some tact.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

The path to your future is still there. You are not at a crossroads. You've just stopped walking. Heading back in the right direction is as easy as putting one foot in front of the other.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

Dancing naked in the living room to really loud music is great fun and good for the soul; bring a dance partner or two.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

You almost always have a clear idea of what's wrong or right. Most of your friends would describe you as level-headed and well-balanced. Change.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

As always, little fishie, I try to aim as much love and good will in your direction as I can. You've got a good heart and a beautiful soul. Let others enjoy it too.

We were at this show! Ivy's performance was nothing short of amazing!

St. Brigid of Ireland

In Celtic religion and Irish mythology, Brigit or Brighid is the daughter of the Dagda (the "All-father") and one of the Tuatha Dé Danann (a race of people thought to derive from the pre-Christian deities of Ireland). Brighid was once the divine patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other livestock, and was associated with fire and the coming of spring. During the Middle Ages, she was syncretized with a Christian saint, and became St. Brigid of Kildare or Ireland, who is one of Ireland's patron saints along with St. Patrick and St. Columba. She is also often referred to as Mary of the Gael. Irish hagiography makes her an early Irish Christian nun, abbess, and founder of several monasteries of nuns, including that of Kildare in Ireland, which was considered legendary and was highly revered.

St. Brigid is part of my "Simply Divine" series, and is available over at my CafePress Shop.

There's An App For That: Castle Story

Castle Story is Castleville's bastard little sister, and I love it! I'm a huge fan of city- and village-building games, and will pretty much give any of them a try in an attempt to sate the uber control freak within me. Castle Story is an absolutely beautiful game full of charming characters, quest lines, crafting, magic, and even farming. You can upgrade buildings, craft, trade, and build a wonderful medieval village. I do wish the main character had more customization options available other than just their gender, but that really is the only negative thing I can think of. Though... horses. Horses would be nice, and... evil. More evil would be nice too.

There's An App For That: Justice League

Despite the fact that I will probably have to wait seventy years to be able to see a live action Wonder Woman movie actually hit the screen, I can at least enjoy her star-spangled wonderosity in this little fantabulous gem from DC Comics (Yes, wonderosity and fantabulous are words). You can only choose from just five superheroes to run through the game with, but you can add up to two sidekick cards to boost your stats or skills and provide a little "backup". Unlocking different costumes also provides each hero with a different set of bonuses. The game's graphics and special moves are... absolutely wonderful.

Horoscopes: 03.10.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Life, more often than not, is a constant test and struggle of what we can accomplish, of what we can overcome, and what of what we can royally fuck-up. It's your choice as to how you wish to be remembered.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

There are a lot of things we don't like dealing with. The "Truth" is usually right on top of that list. Do you know why the term "bullshit" is used to refer to lies? Have you ever smelled a "bull's shit"?

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

It's an amazing gift to be able to see both sides of an argument - and I don't mean "yours" and "yours".

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Occasionally, we let ourselves get overwhelmed by the insane amount of day-to-day activities that fill our life. We fill our plates with far more than we can consume, and then complain about not being able to get rid of it all. There is no evil in recognizing your limits and respecting them.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

You're expecting the new year to bring in tons of wondrous new things into your life... love, happiness, joy, wealth, etc. While you're at it, wish for a reality check, because you need that too.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

Mr. Right is right around the corner. Unfortunately, you are on the midtown bus heading in the opposite direction.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

Why are you afraid to start enjoying your life now? Are you waiting for some golden opportunity of happiness? Some white knight on a valiant steed to rescue you from all that is mundane? There is happiness and joy in everyday of our lives, and choosing to be happy is a very empowering move.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

Sex is better than coffee. Sex is better than chocolate. Sex is better than liquor. Put down the cup of coffee, the glass of merlot, and that slice of cake. Now replace them.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

There are no obstacles in your life that you do not give power to. The only thing that has ever stood in your way... is... you. Move aside and let yourself be the person you were meant to be. The world is waiting, and it's getting impatient.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

It always amazes me how quickly change can come about with even just the smallest grain of effort. Get up off of your ass. Shake the numbness from your legs and watch some of that change begin to happen.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

Let's try something new? Stop complaining. Stop regretting things that didn't happen. Stop walking around with that sad defeated look on your face. Stop hiding. Stop... and just breathe.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

What do you feel like doing today? How about a walk in the park with someone else's dog? No? Alright. How about a walk through a nudist colony without the dog? Do something daring. You'd be surprised how liberating it will feel.

Clifton Gem & Mineral Show

Despite the fact that I did pick up a few baubles, I was a bit underwhelmed with the show overall regrettably. Perhaps my mind was just not fully into it that day for whatever the reason. The black onyx crow featured in the picture above now sits by computer at home, along with the charming little clay gnome with a gem rammed up its bum. There were a few other lovely things I did come across... like Tarot Vision and her clan, and a Coconut Geode...

There's An App For That: Shipwrecked: Lost Island

It's been a while since I've posted an app review, so here's you go... Shipwrecked: Lost Island has some truly beautiful graphics going for it. There are literally dozens of house styles to choose from and start building. The addition of pets that can roam your village is a really cute, but they really don't do much else. The characters ("helpers") are wonderfully rendered too, and there's quite the eclectic cast to choose from as well. However, to really get anywhere in the game, you need to start spending some real world cash, and that gets old pretty fast.

Horoscopes: 03.03.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Sometimes we get caught up in the glorious grand moments of life, and forget about the small wonders that used to mystify us as children. Go and play.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

Everyone stumbles through the difficult moments of life. There is no such thing as being prepared for anything. We must all learn to take the ills of life with the same acceptance as the good. There is a lesson in both.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

Those headaches you've been having ARE stress-related. Deep down inside you've known that. Focus. Breathe. Relax... and let it go.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Silence, they say, is golden. So is the satisfaction of opening your mouth and confronting villainy where its bred. Stand up for yourself.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Nothing's changed. You are in the same exact spot you where last month, and the month before that, and the month before that. Why?... because you choose to be. We choose our opportunities, and we also choose not to take them.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

My poor dear child... You've run out of men.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

Allow yourself to be silly. You have a great deal of "fun" inside you waiting to be let free. Let yourself laugh. Let yourself smile. Let yourself live.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

We all want great changes in our lives to take place overnight. Patience often yields incredible rewards. Do you have what it takes to sit back and wait?

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

You've said it to others, "Proud Archer". Karma comes around. It's no different for you. You've allowed your course to stray, and it has brought you unhappiness and remorse. Pick up another arrow, aim at that target, and let it fly. You never miss.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

Sometimes the smallest effort on your part can make another's day. Don't forget to tell your bus driver "Thank you".

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

Silence is golden, but joy is precious. When was the last time you sat down alone in a park, surrounded only by nature's wonder? You're past due.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

There is safety at home, but the light doesn't get all the way in. You have to step outside into the sun to feel its warmth. Don't be afraid. It's safe outside too.
