where are all the good men dead, in the heart or in the head?
posted in horrors by catherine“I’m standing where my living room was and it’s not here because my house is gone and it’s an Ultimart! You can never go home again, Oatman… but I guess you can shop there…”
That was truly one hell of a week, missed horrors and my sanity. Hopefully there’s no repeat.
You know, I’m not very ‘book smart’ or ‘street smart, not even ‘well-rounded-smart’… but what I do know, I know really well. Like… how to make a giant pancake and inappropriate fingerpainting and living in a constant state of organized clutter. Also know how to make a to-die-for-omfg cup of hot cocoa.
And methinks I’ll go do that right after this horror break:

taurus
You want to be light and easy when it comes to a disagreement over handling your finances, but there’s too much at stake to just let it go. It’s not about the money, though; the deeper issue raises concerns about who is in control. It’s hard to move on until you’ve reestablished your sense of security. But the real stability comes from being flexible in your attitude and willing to compromise.

You may be writing complex scripts within your own mind, but when the melodrama becomes real, you start to worry. It’s as if your feelings feed someone’s emotions and they reflect your fears back to you. Instead of attempting to keep your stories to yourself, share them with a friend. This can help to diffuse negativity before the charge builds to a critical level.
libra
Your key planet Venus can dangle the carrot of potential in front of you now as you chase after a dream that may not be obtainable. You see too many choices and you want to try them all before you limit your growth. Yet if you see something you crave, you could quickly become obsessed with it. Be careful about being too attached to what you desire. Ease up just a bit and let the day take its course without too much control from you.
sagittarius
Someone may be running circles around you today, making you feel exhausted. If you cannot keep up with this buzzing bee, just step back and admire what he or she does, without attempting to capture it. What seems like excessive noise to you now could very well be innocent excitement.
pisces
You have personal chores to do at home and enough desire to start a creative project. Unfortunately, whatever you begin now will be hard to keep on track tomorrow. But narrowing your focus and deciding what you want in advance of an event may enable you to grow in ways you didn’t even know were possible.
because this year growls with that steady, slow hum of the delta blues:
Tommy Johnson (1896 – November 1, 1956) was an influential delta blues musician. He was born in Terry, Mississippi, and lived most of his life in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Tommy Johnson was known to tell a story about how he had sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his mastery of blues guitar…
Next to Son House and Charley Patton, no one was more important to the development of pre-Robert Johnson Delta blues than Tommy Johnson. Armed with a powerful voice that could go from a growl to an eerie falsetto range and a guitar style that had all of the early figures and licks of the Delta style clearly delineated, Johnson only recorded for two years — from 1928 to 1930 — but left behind a body of work that’s hard to ignore.
