Full moon in Virgo in my 4th house

Perfection gets verified in the details.

Even if I didn't want to believe in it, astrology finds a way to make me believe. This weekend, the full moon (which signify finales) just happen to land in my 4th house, which rules home and I did just happen to have moved — which must mean I am totally in tune with my universe!!!

...Not to say I was forced to pick up and go, coincidentally having this full moon seal my fate — but I did have to break my lease and things did happen to work out in this way, which I think is totally insane! So, as I am settling into my new life, just 7 blocks away from where I was, which in NYC means several light years away, I celebrate the new and cherish the old under this fab full moon!

Here is a pic of the moon from my new view! (…and even more craziness, the # pic on my camera was 1109!!!! It's fate!!!)





...and in other not-so-interesting news, due to my creative-half-mast brain that has been operating only on packing and unpacking functions, I have learned that a lot of people (who don't know me very well) get me fancy pens as gifts because I am a writer. Yo people, I use a laptop...and not waking up in my kitchen is already making me skinnier!

..and in slightly more interesting news:
Gentleman with a Van are the BEST movers ever!!!!! The company is run by a guy named Paul and while he was kind of cranky to deal with after a vehicle issue, the crew he sent was AMAZING! Totally efficient, polite, and on top of it. Absolutely nothing was damaged, missing or broken! Even the one egg I had thrown into a box with other groceries wasn't broken!!! I recommend them 100%. Plus, their rates are incredibly reasonably and they don't dawdle. When all was said and done, the move was completely stress-free and wound up being the least expensive of all the places I had called. So, if you are moving, call up Gentleman with a Van!

Here are the guys with proof of their relocating prowess — the one unbroken egg! (…and btw, my camera is dying, so all my pics as of late look as if there are in a dream sequence, which sort of suits me fine, as my life in transition right now totally feels dream-like!)

Sun enters Pisces

Go ahead, read into things. It's all about intuition now.

On Sunday night walking home, there was a $1 outside my door. It was Chinese New Year, so I picked it up, as I am totally superstitious of all the things that you do on a New Year's day to set a precedence on the upcoming year.












Then today, while out, as I was waiting for the light to change and zoning out, all of a sudden this blows to my feet — a $5 bill!












Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going to get rich this year! ...and if in a few days a $10 bill winds up at my feet, I'm going to donate myself to charity!

Venus and Jupiter together at last!

Instant pleasure.

Today marked a grand day in my life, as it was the day I was introduced to the depravity that is known as CHATROULETTE!!!

I was at my friend's hanging out with a bunch of people when my friend’s friend Matthew brought up Chatroulette. He explained it as a web cam chat room that connects you to random strangers, and every third person you get is usually some guy jerking off — and of course with that, we all wanted to get on it STAT.

OMG, did it deliver!

It's totally a porn super highway, with a few brilliant PG moments thrown in — like the two teen girls that flashed on the screen to say, "Shave the 'stache retard," to Matthew, then disappeared and the hot guy in Boston dancing with glow sticks in his kitchen, with only his aviators and pilot's cap on...and you don't even have to log in or register or anything. Just click on and you're ready to go!

Some highlights of our night on Chatroulette:

New Moon in Aquarius & Chinese New Year 4707, The Year of The Metal Tiger (Feb. 14)

Give way to new traditions!

Chinese New Year is my favorite time of the year in my hood, as the whole place goes nuts with sights and sounds that is so fun and festively exciting that it totally makes up for all the crap I put up the rest of the year living down here (AKA the smells, the excessive road kill, the third world conditions (like dead phone service after rainstorms, etc.).

During CNY, I love waking up to the drumming, like I'm in the jungle; the massive amounts of confetti flying in the air; the lion dancing; the hordes of people I can watch, but not have to subject myself to and of course, the best part is that it's all about superstitions, and recalibrating yourself with symbolic gestures to ensure a better future. I totally love all that, am a total sucker for it and also, I grew up with it, so I am use to it.

However, since I moved down to Chinatown, I wanted to make the holiday my own. So I created a few new traditions to ensure my life keeps going with more good than bad. These rituals include throwing confetti and whatever else that won't kill anyone out my window and off my fire escape (there is no reason CNY can't be C-town's Mardi Gras); always color coding the food and drinks of the day, like dying the dumplings blue (peace) or red (love); give out stuffed red envelopes with candy and fortunes, with a few extra lucky ones with coins that can win someone fabulous prizes. (Prizes from the past include the punching Yasser Arafat hand puppet, the boobie stress balls and a stick of 'Macho' deodorant--and yes, all local finds) ...and always have the day be a collective effort, as in everyone joining in must contribute something in a color that represents something they want more of in the new year, (like yellow for success, bananas; green for money, spinach, etc.)...but most importantly, it's having the best time possible for as long as possible....and while living in the heart of it all, sometimes that meant 12+ hour parties in my compact apartment, with karaoke sometimes being involved and decadence always being involved.

One of my favorite CNY moments was during the Year of the Rat. While I was doing party prep, I kept going back and forth to look at lion dances from my window. The day just started, but the streets were packed and people were going nuts shooting off tons of confetti rockets into the air (pre-recession). That year there were surprises in the tubes, fortunes written on big fat red ribbons and some attached to parachutes. I had just got to the window, when I saw a lucky parachute coming down from the sky just out of reach. As in slow-mo, I stretched out of my window to just be able to grab it and as I did, the crowd down below broke out in a LOUD roaring cheer. They were all watching my 3-second plight. The wave of energy and excitement from 4 floors down that shot up was amazing! I waved down after, like Evita — a moment of celebrity I’ll never forget!

..but atlas, the good times are coming to an end, as I'm moving out at the end of the month and will no longer have this access just outside my door....or the other perks of my address, like living next to a barber shop called MEI DICK, and when giving directions, being able to say, "If you've gone past MEI DICK, you've gone too far."

...but whatever, got to keep on keeping on and its been a fab 7 years...but as I go into the home stretch of time over here, hoorah for it going out with another bang!

Scenes from Chinese New Year 2010, Year of the Tiger...





The midnight parade. The drums start beating 15 minutes before midnight, usually with 3 lions dancing. Love this one, because it's a secret.







My favorite people of the day coming...









...and going.







Fong Inn Too, Inc. makes CNY!!! They are the best. They always put out cabbage for the lions to eat, so they all come there to dance and sometimes in groups. Last year, during the CNY closing ceremony they had 11 lions, all in different colors. If you ever come down here for CNY, stake out a spot there and stay put, lots-o-fun.





CNY is the only time I really cook and I love coming up with new stuff. This year's invention: fried Hickory Smoked Tofuky and shredded Parmesan pirouettes! Delicious!






This is the insanity that is CNY. The most ridiculous part of the day: when the cops had to get a marching band through the crowd — and they kept playing!

Mercury enters Aquarius

Communal thoughts.

LAX is boring. They need more stores. But definitely more hot guys than any airport in America. I'd even do some of the staff.

Full moon in Leo

Celebrate your greatness.


When I was five, the only thing I knew about when I would grow up is that I didn't want to wake up early. I hate waking up early. To me, it's the worst thing ever, too shocking for my body and just not natural. I like waking up whenever my body wants and that usually means later in the day. To wake up early, I'd need an alarm clock and the sounds I associate with that are painful. Plus, it should be my freedom to start my day whenever it feels right for me.

I was in afternoon kindergarten and to me, that seem like a perfect time to start the day. When I got to first grade, that first morning, the sheer agony, and all I could do was lay there and try to squeeze one more second of sleep, pulling the covers over my head, wanting to cry and realizing this was going to be my life for the next 12 years...Misery.

I never forgot that morning and I thought about it on my last day of the 12th grade, after my final exam, where for some reason I was walking on the track, feeling a certain liberation, swearing from that day forward I'd never have to wake up at that ungodly hour continually again, doing whatever it takes to maintain my right to my time, my freedom.

In college, I took mostly afternoon classes, once needing to set an alarm for a 2pm class and then towards the end, had one semester with my earliest class at 5:30 pm. After that, it was a series of mostly nocturnal jobs, anything to keep me out of an imposing schedule and to this day I have kept that promise, making it the first and only decision I ever had to make, as after that things were more obvious to pick to maintain the lifestyle and particular mindset I wanted to have and today, today I confirmed to myself that it was indeed the best and only decision I ever needed to make. My life. My time! Non-negotiable! Yeaaah!

Venus enters Aquarius

Eccentric stimulations begin.



House is the most fun movie I've seen in ages! If you live in NYC, HOUSE is currently playing at IFC for at least the next week, so check it out. Otherwise, just watch this trailer over and over again.

Wikipedia Plot Summary:
A teenage girl named Gorgeous discovers that her widowed father has begun dating again. Furthermore, Gorgeous' father has cancelled the yearly summer vacation that father and daughter take every year in order to stay near his new girlfriend, who he intends on marrying. Furious, Gorgeous impulsively invites her friends to come with her to her aunt's house, despite not having seen the aunt in years.

Arriving, they find the aunt, a wheelchair user, and agree to fix up her run down estate located in the woods. However, unknown to anyone, the aunt is secretly a vampire who feeds off the flesh of virgin women who stumble upon her home. Possessing her niece, the aunt murders the girls one by one with help from her bewitched house. In the end, the aunt takes over Gorgeous' body so she can go on waiting for her long lost fiancé, who went missing in action during World War II.

(Although this is what the synopsis says, the plot is the least interesting part of this movie, as it's all about the special effects, the surreal vintage porn-like style cinematography and absurd dialogue that makes this flick a true winner!)

Jupiter enters Pisces

Everybody gets lucky!

Jupiter, the planet of luck, is making its annual transition today and the winner of this year’s grand prize is Pisces! This means all Pisces sun and rising people will get an extra dose of miracles in their life until June 5th, 2010, then back again on September 9th 2010, until January 22, 2011!

Usually Jupiter does spend a full year in one sign, but since this spin won’t go retrograde the first time around, it’ll go full cycle through Pisces before heading back and when it does, it’ll be in Aries already and then be in Aries from June 5th until September 9th. Either or, it’s bonsai good news for everyone because Pisces is the planet of fairy tales and karma, so when you mix this with the planet of luck, the fantastical is bound to happen (if you've been playing your cards right)! So before going any further, start setting intentions in the areas that it’ll matter…

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Ridding yourself of bad habits and baggage from the past, powerful visions/psychic abilities, and secret alliances.

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Your hopes and wishes, dealings in technology and friendships.

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Career, an increase in your public profile and getting over issues with authority.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
International relations, adventure and spirituality/ your quest for purpose and truth.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Sex, financial gains from inheritances/commissions and sorting out the dark side of your psyche.

Virgo (August 23- September 22)
Committed partnerships (love and/or business), improving your social life and feeling more at peace with yourself.

Libra (September 23- October 22)
Starting new fitness regimes and getting results, getting organized and being more efficient.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Romance, creativity, and enjoying being in the spotlight.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Real estate, family, and increasing your sense of security.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Learning new skills, dealings with communications/media, and being part of your community.

Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Money, setting new foundations, and increasing your sense of comfort.

Pisces (February 20-March 20)
Initiating new projects and ideas, being a leader and improving your image.

Mercury goes direct in Capricorn, my solar 3rd

Getting back to what I was saying...

Back in Dec. 2, 2009, Full Moon In Gemini...

Party of Two, Seat for One

As a Gemini rising, it’s like I am never really alone, which works out fine, since I spend a lot of time alone, need to spend time alone, like to spend time alone — so much so, its recently gotten to the point where I don’t even understand the purpose of a relationship, other than as a source of regular sex and someone that can to do stuff for me, like move heavy furniture, or get crap for me at the store when I don’t feel like going, etc.

I don’t think I am jaded either, but it’s just how I am and it’s encouraged by my independence. Not to say I’m not social. I love people and being around others, but to everything there is a limit. After all, I’m lazy and I like to do things my way, and going solo makes it the easiest way to go. I don't have to explain anything, wait for anyone and I can get things done fast. Not to say I am not romantic either, because I am — extremely so, which makes any relationship worth it needing to be mind-blowing, because at this point, I’m on that vibe on my own and not looking for a buzz kill… But sometimes I do think about this and wonder if it’s that I’m actually autistic? I do live in my own world, and freak easily by any slight disturbance…

The good thing about my universe though is that it's benevolent and everything works in my favor, at least eventually and if detoured, the ride usually winds up at an equally enthralling destination. Either or, this means I get to OD on ultimate freedom all day, everyday and I know just what to do with it and I celebrate that fact everyday…But then again, what is the sound of a tree that falls in the forest if no one is around to hear it?

New Moon/Solar eclipse in Capricorn in my solar 3rd

Good news arrives.
