The other day I had occasion to write to Liz about the U of C’s astronomy journal. But in the process of writing to her I had to stop myself before I typed “astrology journal.” Which got me thinking about how awesome it would be if the U of C had an astrology journal.
“Expect a Kafkaesque morning as your Hum class ignores your insightful commentary on Plato’s Apology. It will be as if you never said anything.”
“Today is an opportune day for bathing.”
“It’s business as unusual today as an awkward encounter in the Cobb Coffee Shop will force you to interact with other human beings.”
“Today is a good day to reconnect with your body by eating your own umbilical cord.”*
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but don’t let anyone on your dorm floor copy your trebuchet design.”**
“Mercury’s connection with Mars will be a boon for your finances, allowing you to stop eating raw onions and sour cream for dinner.”*
*Incidents I’ve personally witnessed.
**Also, a trebuchet is NOT a catapault. Don’t make the same mistake I did unless you want to be publicly berated by a man named Gerbil.

Um, Awesome-sauce.

I CHOSE to eat raw onions and sour cream for dinner.
