| I have a 7 month old female F3 Bengal kitten up for adoption, Zuri. I am rehoming her with the aid of the breeder ( Majinyau Bengals) due to personal and financial reasons. This was a hard decision and I am torn up inside but I think it is for the best. Early Generation Bengals (F1-F4) cost $1,000 - $1,500 when adopted from the breeder and females can be more. Due to Zuri's age, she will be heavily discounted but still cost more than your average cat. She is available to go to a new forever home (that has been approved by the breeder) in about 2 weeks and viewings are available any time in WK. Zuri was born May 18, 2009. Up to date on shots. Socialized well with other cats and dogs. She is currently unspayed but the new owner will have to sign a non-breeding contract with the breeder (as I did) and have her spayed shortly after taking her home. Like most Bengals, she is highly active and very intelligent. She has a love for water which is also a breed trait. If you'd like pictures or more information please EMAIL me as I generally won't be responding to comments as I assume I'll get flamed. Email: adnama_wpg at hotmail dot com   Note: Zuri has never been lost in a wall. | |

| Look! A fluffy bunny! Isn't he a handsome guy? This is my friend, Serena's bunny Tiki. I adore this creature. He's a little bit crazy, but full of love and super sweet. Click on the picture if you would like to see my adventures at Serenas house...lots of animal cuteness and such. Well, as per usual, the weekend is flying by. I have to chain myself to my desk here and get cracking on my graphic art project. Ugh. Will be glad to get this and all my classes over with. My mind has already started winter break I think....not good. Going to dinner at my in-laws house tonight. Ribs, my favorite. Should be a good time being with everyone. OK. Until next time.... love, love, love | |

| Anybody else have issues with the Blackberry Storm. Sometimes I'll get a phone call and try to answer but it wont pick up but the lil thingy on the screen just keeps turning. Is it just me or are they all really slow sometimes. I dont think my phones broken or anything, Im thinking blackberries are just slow. Is the iPhone like this? Im about 7 months into my contract with Telus, How do I get them to give me the NEW Blackberry Storm 2? Do I have to complain and be pushy. My friends like that and she always got a different phone. Mind you stuff was really wrong with them. HELP ME! | |

| I am a bit confused about my career direction. I feel like there are two halves that are having a tough time coming together. I have always wanted to perform--- whether that be dancing, acting, playing music... that's pretty much where my heart lays. At the same rate, I am also very health conscious. I am not a fan of medical doctors, so I figured I'd look into pursuing a career in alternative medicine. I posted my chart under the cut... I have a pisces true node in 9th house. I can see that being the healer or the artist. Not so sure! Help! Thanks in advance, cynnastix ( chart ) | |

| I'm looking for some basic (but not super garbage-y looking) cheapie 8X10 photo frames for xmas presents. Where might I find em? | |

| I hurt my upper back and right shoulder (repetitive motions at work being the culprit I think). My doctor referred me to a physiotherapist at the Grace (as I don't have coverage for a private one), but I have no idea how long that's supposed to take - I'm sure at least weeks if not months.
Meanwhile my back and shoulder are still hurtin'. I'm not currently doing my regular job at work because of it, so I'd like it to get better sooner rather than later (not to mention I'd just rather not be in pain).
I can't afford to pay to regularly visit a private physiotherapist, but I'm just wondering if one visit in the meantime will help me (maaaaaayyybie two?) before I'm able to get into the Grace physio.
If yes, does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced and good physiotherapist?
Or should I look into massage therapy or something instead?
Thanks Winnipeg! | |

| After ALL these years of using LJ, I finally figured out style sheets. MOSTLY, anyway.... My right hand side bar is off the template edge, and I can't seem to make it narrower. I thought it'd be 'Side bar width' but it didn't make a change. Suggestions anyone?? Thx! | |

| Happy weekend! So, its rainy and cold...and supposedly we may get snow tonight. I know some of my friends out there are already getting the white fluffy stuff. I have been trying to get my act together today. So far, I've been pretty unsuccessful at that goal. I have managed to get a few more steps for my holiday cards done, and make more of a mess of my area in the backroom/office/studio, uploaded the pic you see to the left to flickr with others taken last evening of my sushi orgy with Chris, printed out some instructions on my final art class project, and....OK, thats all. I have not even gotten a shower yet! I am going to Serena's tonight to work on art stuff. Should be a good time. And it will force me to get a shower and get actual clothing on. Been bumming in my PJ's so far today! Audrey Kawasaki, one of my favorite artists, is having a show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York starting next week until January 9th. I am kind of bumming. We are going to go for the Tim Burton show at MOMA, but we are trying to co-ordinate it with Chris, Serena, and my schedule...and I think we are going to miss Audrey! :-( But, still...going to NY will be a cool experience at any rate...I have not been there in so long. Other than that, stuff is pretty much the same old stuff. Enjoy the snow if you get it! | |

|  Hi everyone,
Does anyone know the birth time or Amanda Knox's chart?
I got the birthday from wikipedia. She has a Cancer Sun/Sag Moon - could possibly be Cap Moon but her outgoing personality and her love of traveling to foreign countries makes me think Sag moon is right.
An out of sign T-square - Mars sqr Jup and Pluto indicating an intense approach to life, strong sex drive, and power/control issues. I don't know if this would reflect her or the men (mars) that she attracts in her life - perhaps both. There were two other men implicated in this crime, both serving 25 and 30 year sentences.
She was very athletic and competitive in school - earned very good grades, an achiever. Without a birth time, it's difficult to be too exact. She has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for the murder, but may serve less. She was convicted with her boyfriend at the time.The murder happened on Nov 1, 2007, a bi-wheel of the event shows T-Pluto conjunct her Moon (if she was born near Noon time) Natal Moon conj Uranus - unexpected events in childhood - her childhood was difficult with divorce of parents and mother marrying a much younger man which cause a scandal at the time. Moon conj Uranus in Sag, unexpected events in foreign countries for her. | |

| Hey all, A while ago I posted about my experience with the new moon, and how I had been seriously reconsidering my choice to pursue Political Philosophy (a subfield within Political Science). I finally had a meeting with my study advisor in which she told me that, if I really wanted this, I had to write a letter to the examination committee with my request. She told me that I had a very slim chance of succeeding, however. I thought about it for a while, discussed it with one of the teachers of the track I wanted to switch to, and then finally decided to do it. I did not expect anything from it. There are two professors in this examination committee. One of the professors who's vice-chair of the committee would have been my instructor for a particular seminar that starts in february. For this reason I sent the letter to the chair of the committee. I have heard a lot of stories about the chair. He is known for his temper and his focus on grades and performance. He is known for his inability to show mercy. I had class from him in my first year, with a group of a hundred students so it was pretty anonymous. I once shook his hand during a ceremony I attended because I finished my first year. I felt some spark of electricity in the moment I shook his hand, I was very impressed and it was a strange experience. In that moment I was really impressed with him. I had not heard these stories about him yet, and he came across as a father figure to me. I really looked up to him and when I came home that day I made a first meeting chart for us, plus drew up our composite (more about this later). This was in september 2007. After that I had nothing to do with him anymore, up until this year that is. I am now a student member of the departmental board of Political Science, and a month or so ago the board had one of its regular meetings to which he was invited. So that was the first time since september 2007 I interacted with him on a more direct basis (in which he actually knew who I was). Well, to get back to the letter... I got a response within 2 days after I'd put the letter in his mailbox. In the e-mail he sent me he told me he didn't think I had good arguments to switch, but he asked me if I could meet up with him because maybe he "had not read something in the right way". Well, to make a long story short, I left his office after ten minutes and he'd arranged a way for me to switch. Suprisingly enough, it turned out to be a piece of cake!! I'd been so worried and never thought it would work out, but he was really nice. He'd printed out a sheet with my grades, however, and actually referred to that in our conversation. My grades are not the best ones in the world, but I am definitely not a bad student. After this meeting I went up to the office of the coordinator of the new track, (whom I've referred to earlier in this entry) and told him the news. I'd also heard stories about how the chair of the exam committee and he were not really best buddies. He congratulated me and smiled, but there was something in his eyes I couldn't quite place in context. He told me he was kind of surprised that the professor had given me the green light... now, onwards to the astrology part. As you can see below, prof of the exam committee and me have a Yod in our composite, with the Sun (in Sag), Saturn (in Scorp), Mars (in Libra) and the Moon (in Taurus) involved. I'm not very good at interpreting aspect patterns, especially not Yods, but I can't help but think it's more than a coincidence that he was the one who gave me the green light and made the decision for me in the end. If he would've blocked my decision, I'd not been able to switch. Notice how Saturn in the Yod is in 14 degrees Scorpio. In his natal chart, Mars is in 14 degrees Scorpio (square Pluto). In our first meeting chart, we almost have the same Yod, in different signs. Sun is in 1 degrees Libra, Saturn in 2 degrees Virgo, and the Moon in 1 degrees Pisces. The only planet missing here is Mars, who is in 27 degrees Gemini in the first meeting chart, instead of 2 degrees Leo to finish the Yod. However, my Sun/Moon midpoint is in 2 degrees Leo, which would fit nicely into the missing leg of the Yod in our first meeting chart. For some reason I can't help but see the Yod as a "finger of God" in this situation, especially since his Mars is in 14 degrees Scorpio, right on Saturn in the composite chart, opposing the Moon in Taurus and semi-sextiling Sun in Sag and Mars in Libra. For some reason I think that he took on the role of Saturn in this case, and had a mentor role. And maybe that was the purpose of us meeting. Also, in our first meeting chart, the Ascendant is in Capricorn, again giving Saturn an important role in the whole ordeal. Furthermore, his Sun, Mercury and north node are in my fourth house, house of the family. This may sound pretty far fetched, but it's my gut feeling speaking. If you see anything else in there, or have a better interpretation of the Yod (or how it works out in this case) please let me know! I'm very curious whether I'm totally off or not. Thanks for reading. ( charts for reference ) | |

| Kind denizens of Winnipeg,
I'm a brand new citizen here, with a couple of questions.
So tell me, where does one go around here for some free or otherwise easily affordable psychiatric help? (More specifically, anxiety disorders?)
Is there anywhere you can go that would be able to prescribe meds, for which you don't need a regular doctor's referral? And if not, I'm between doctors, currently... is it possible to get a referral from a walk-in clinic or other source?
Preferably places in the St James area, or near the U of W, but anywhere is fine.
Thank you very much! :) | |

| Originally published at The Last Exit to Babylon. Please leave any comments there. 
Tonight, the local Girl Scouts service unit held their annual Daddy-Daughter Dance. I was supposed to take her, but for a variety of reasons beyond my control, we couldn't go. So I was left scrambling to find a way to make it up to her.
I figured we'd start with a nice dinner out, someplace we ordinarily wouldn't be able to go. I was already in my suit, since I didn't find out for sure we couldn't go to the dance until mid-afternoon, so I told her to go ahead and put on the dress she was going to wear tonight and be ready. After some consultation with my friends, I decided to take her up to Shiki. Of all the suggestions I offered her, a Japanese steakhouse with hibachi tables appealed to her most, and I'd been meaning to try this one for a while.
We had an absolute blast at dinner. Our chef was a good one, energetic and entertaining, and chose Brianna as the one to trick with offering a bowl of fried rice on the end of his spatula, then flipping it back over his head to his other hand. She was delighted, and we both ate ourselves almost into a stupor. She had the shrimp, while I went for steak and calamari, and we even splurged on dessert: green tea ice cream for her, and tempura cheesecake for me. One more bite and she would have had to roll me out to the car. I couldn't even eat the wafer-thin mint she offered me.
Next we swung by the house to take pictures. I was trying to include as much as I could from our original plans, and if we were both dressed up, we needed to document the occasion. Unfortunately, I couldn't lay my hands on my tripod, so I had to make due with setting the camera on a table and taking a seated shot of us. She loved it, though, and that's all that mattered.
After that, we went walkabout (drive-about, technically, since it's way too cold for someone with my thin Southern blood to walk outdoors right now) to check out some Christmas lights. We drove around the rich neighborhood of Nichols Hills and enjoyed the light shows the residents had paid people to put up for them. As impressive as some of those were, they paled in comparison before the grandeur of the lights Chesapeake Oil put on all the trees around their offices between Western and Classen south of 63rd. They were bright enough I probably didn't need my headlights, much less any of the street lights. As we drove away from them, Brianna announced from the back seat: "I just can't stop smiling. I don't remember the last time this happened."
Clearly, I had done well beyond my wildest dreams. I had hoped to try and come close to making it up to her for not taking her to the dance, and here she was in such a state of joy over our evening together. It doesn't get better than that.
After totally knocking one out of the park with the lights, I took her on back to her mother's house, and drove up to Sean's for a nightcap. This turned out to be a perfect way to end the evening, spending some time chatting with the staff while enjoying their hospitality. I even got to take some time to discuss their need for a Facebook page with one of waitresses, and will be going back next week to see what I can do to help out with that. Networking at its finest, and a way to help my favorite restaurant and pub get even more exposure.
All in all, a more perfect night than I could have hoped for. | |

| I'm having a sale on the 2012 natal report/prep course I offer, $18 (instead of $27). It looks at 4 archetypes in your birth chart through the lens of emotional healing, to help you see what emotional debris from the past keeps you from being present. It's good for you, but a great gift for anyone interested in getting a grounded, practical approach to what the end of the Mayan Calendar means for us and for them as an individual.

| I feel like I didn't get much down time this week. Which is a bummer because Scott was home for most of it for vacation. He played video games and was happy though.
We got the tree up last night. We'll put ornaments on it after school today. I'm just not feeling the Christmas decoration love yet. Mainly because the kids have been nagging about it!!
Headed to the Urologist in a bit. (chugging water as I type) Just double checking that things look good. I go to the Allergist next week. But, as long as I take the allergy meds no hives. So at least I'm not miserable!
No plans for the weekend so far... but Christmas shopping should probably be #1. At least I have started! | |

Yes, but I wasn't purchasing the pill for its advertised purpose. I purchased a diet pill called Relacore because it supposedly addressed the stress issues behind weight gain, and this was among many of my desperate volleys when chronic urticaria took over my life. The bizarre thing is, it actually kind of worked - I was less stressed and thus less prone to binge eating. Since I wasn't binging, I wasn't sucking down corn syrup - when I'm not eating in panic mode I actually dislike junk food. I still broke out all the time, but the chemicals suppressed the sheer panic I felt at the eruptions on my skin. In many ways this little rip-off actually did make my life more bearable during a very nasty and awful phase. I don't know if I'd do it again - that stuff is expensive, and no, it doesn't really work as advertised - but it actually in a warped way did help me. | |

| Dream (nightmare?) that I was having a double wedding with Brenda and the priestess/counselor marrying us did some yoga routine as a kickoff to the ceremony, also attended by a girl I knew and had no respect for in high school. Then, I went to retrieve my engagement ring before heading to the altar and my groom decided he wasn't giving it back as his way of telling me he wasn't going to marry me. In the dream he was the bald comedic actor who was in Evening Shade and a bunch of other stuff where he plays a bald, stringy, stubborn man for comedic purposes. In the dream I wasn't angry - I immediately began wracking my brain for what I was going to do next, and it was sort of an "oh well, dating again I see," type attitude.
Then I ended up going to these yoga things with various women who were varying degrees of shitty to me.
Being stranded in the company of women, and really bitchy women at that - that's my real nightmare. | |

| So, my sister and her friends have booked me for the end-of-year cosplay event, possibly as revenge for me inflicting Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment album on her in the guise of a Christmas present, and thereby turning her into Glambert #(ridiculously large number here). In a big MSN tradeoff of YouTube music videos with my sis yesterday, I jokingly said I might want to cosplay someone. Which I immediately dismissed as stupid the next instant because I realized that I would have to go out and get a wig and everything, the works. Too much bother. This afternoon my darling sister rang me up from a costume store she and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) menelvir were in and said, "I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING FOR YOU." Therefore: 
OOH LA LANow the question is, what the hell am I going to wear with it?? Ohhhh, FML. P.S. In an unrelated note: there once was a saying that I used to say, the way to tell when you've made it big is when Eminem disses you in a song. Congratulations, Adam! And only one week after his record dropped. Impressive.
P.P.S. I SHOULD TOTALLY GO SEEK OUT INNOVATOR COSPLAYERS AT THE EVENT BECAUSE BAD ROMANCE IS TOTALLY A RIBBONS/ALEJANDRO SONG, Y/Y? | |

| So... last month when I was visiting MTS to check out their phones...
Me: are you guys going to be getting new phones anytime soon?
MTS guy: yeah the ones we have aren't that great. we should be getting some around christmas time.
....yeah, okay, MTS.. way to bring out a pile of even shittier phones than the ones you had in the first place.
Is anyone else noticing MTS getting worse by the minute?
They should understand that there are other phones out there than Motorola... and smartphones other than Blackberries. | |

| “Did you know there are thirty-two names for love in one of the Eskimo languages?” August said. “And we just have this one. We are so limited, you have to use the same word of loving Rosaleen as you do for loving a Coke with peanuts. Isn’t that a shame we don’t have more ways to say it?” | |

| whew! As usual these past few days, I am up too late. I should be in bed. Naughty Julie!!!! I finally uploaded my Thanksgiving pictures to flickr, as well as several just like the one you see over there. That is a photo of the gerber daisies that Chris gave me for our anniversary. I do love those gerbers!!! Things have been going on as they do, and I am feeling worn out and ready for a rest. I am trying my hardest to rally myself for the last few weeks of the semester, but I am finding it to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated. I wish I had more entry worthy stuff to talk about, but the benadryl is finally kicking on and I gotta get to sleep. *waves to all of you* night night. | |
