I added a java script to the home page of this blog that'll show my questions and answers at Yahoo!Answers. It's done for my convenience and for your morbid curiosity. I've been doing my transits, going over the dusty tomes, cranking up the astrological software, and gathering the data in a journal in long hand. I love this journal because the pages have little graph lines and it keeps me neat. Writing my transits in long hand is a meditative exercise. I also hope to remember what I read by writing it out, slowly, neatly, and then reread.

I'm 90 posts behind COC. I should be sculpting heads but I keep on futzing around with the skin tone. I need to do my transits because it's my second Saturn return after all. My fifth Jupiter return is coming up. I got to review the possible life lessons and personal transformation opportunities that are ripe at this time. So that's what I've been doing.

My rising sign is Capricorn and transiting Pluto is in Capricorn, fixing to cross my ascendant and enter my first house. Will be there probably until I die, it goes so slow. I am compelled to spend some time in contemplation.

On the mundane side: I had to take the Valentine's computer to FedEx and ship it back to ACER repair, again. The power switch was fixed but in the process the video card or cable must have been bumped. No feed to my monitor. I tried other monitors as a test and still no video feed. At least since this is a second repair the shipping didn't cost me anything.

Ah well, it's said that in a gift it's the thought that counts. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth and all that. Finding a philosophical "oh well" and moving on is the most prudent use of my time and energy. But I tell  ya, in order to keep from getting bummed I just had to do my transits.

Don't get mad, understand the prevailing challenges, turn them into opportunities, and move on.

It does cause me to fall quite on the lists. I've been answering astrology questions for therapy. Sometimes I learn a new thing reading other astrologer's answers. I'm aiming for educating folks about the need for a full chart. Pointing them to http://www.astro.com for a free chart. Some folks don't seem to like my sense of humor and I get thumbs down now and then. Surprises me because I think my answers are either funny or informative. But I got to be my biggest fan, I'm not objective about me.

Been slogging through saving screen shots from my old Epson Albums. I had to give that a rest because I was getting achy wrists from doing the same repetitive movements.  So I mixed some skin color for the BH4DO project. I got to get this picture up on the project section, but I want to make two other color cards, adding red and yellow to the skin tones. I also got to get a better picture of this color card. This is a note to myself.

Speaking of the claymation project. I sent a shout-out to the ClayMates to see if I can get some couches to surf on when I go to LA. There's good travel transits for the beginning of April and I thought I'd ride that wave. $80.00 for round trip Greyhound tickets. I just need a wheel man or wheel mama, 3 hots and a cot and I'm good to go. I can't see being able to get past TSA at the airport with tissue blades, exacto knife, other tools that look like weapons, a pasta machine and food processor. Not to mention polymer clay that looks like plastic explosives. I can still take these on the bus.

Bushyaib was all poo poo about my taking the bus. I like long distance bus rides. I look out the window or sleep. If I'm lucky I got a good riding partner. If not, I sleep. There's a bus station right near the claymation contact in Van Nuys. Motels are too expensive. So I still need a crash pad. The claymation contact said he'll drive me about and show me the studio set up. He can't host, no room. But he'll ask about. I told him I'll shout out to the ClayMates, no response yet.
