Help, I Have No Future!
i know that one of the best things about email (as opposed to, say, the public nature of your facebook wall) is that it's supposed to be private, so that no-one [well, except google's ad servers, or anyone who can find out your password, or anyone who sits down at a machine from which you haven't logged off properly] knows who you're corresponding with, or what unsuitable things you're saying in the shroud of perceived privacy, or what sorts of risible mailing lists you're on.
but sometimes the contents of your mailbox need to be openly advertised to the world. this is one such occasion, because it made me super-sad. my tarot.com weekly romance horoscope says:
Love Horoscope for the Week of:
Monday, August 20, 2007
Sim,
that's it. funny, because i spent all last week juggling the dastardly thought of potential arranged liaisons and the enjoyable security of past connections and the exciting actuality of being in bombay. [code for: there were boys in my life last week, so wtf?!]
now, it's quite possible tarot.com just did the HTML badly on this email, and my romantic future is actually all set, and profitably so at that. but whatever the cause of this glitch, here's an APB to all my boys, real or imagined -- you need to fix this problem, stat.

i have to confess i'm sidetracked from the hilarity of the situation by the fact that you even get weekly horoscopes from tarot.com!
PS: there's a tarot card reading place down the street from me. i've never seen a single person step in there in 2 years -- i suspect it's a front for illegal goings on in the back room!
A friend in the blogosphere!
I hope September leaves enough time for disorientation and adventure. I'll be happy once we're all gathered, "Happy Together" style - the Turtles single, not the Wong Kar Wai film. Or either, I guess, as long as we're not gathered Agatha Christie style.
@rhe.. yeah, the subscription itself was part of the absurd hilarity of the whole thing. well, since then i've been given really good advice by them, so i believe again:
"Overcome any feelings of isolation this weekend (whether you're alone or with someone who doesn't care enough) by attending to your own needs. Spend some money on yourself, even if it stretches your budget. Putting your interests first may seem selfish, but it increases your worth."
oh, and @jon.. yes, a friend indeed, and a fan of your blog!
to all concerned: by now we have met up and begun preparations for september madness. let the good times roll!
that was me. i'm a hacker.
