I was walking behind this kid and his mother on Boylston Street today when I had to do a double take. Fukudome? Seriously? Is that some kind of horrible chant that you yell at Derek Jeter after he gets his 3000th hit? I couldn’t believe this kid’s mom was letting him walk around with a slur like that on his back.

Gaylord Perry? Offensive but not vulgar. The Big Unit? Sure, you can read past that. Antonio Bastardo I can even let slide because it’s ethnic. But Fuk-u-do-me? Where do the Cubs find  these guys..?

” … the rule has been to never see the same stud three nights. One night is forgot like a fart, two like a pang, but after three nights lain together there is a hurt, and to soothe the hurt there will be night four, and five, and nights unnumbered. The heart’s in it then, spinning dreams, and torment is on the way. The heart makes dreams seem like ideas.”

From Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone (or so says my friend who posted this on Facebook)

Thanks to CafeAstrology.com for my awesome birthday horoscope that – basically – affirms everything I’ve been considering these past few months.  If I’m born today, I’m off to the best start of my life!

If You Were Born Today, September 17: You’re a very practical person, yet also attuned to spiritual values. You expect a lot from others, but even more from yourself. The tendency to be controlling should be watched, as well as the tendency to be overly controlled and self-contained. You are very hardworking and have amazing organizational skills. Famous people born today: Hank Williams, Anne Bancroft, Elvira, John Ritter, William Carlos Williams, Roddy McDowell.

Your Birthday Year Forecast: A trine between the Sun and the Moon in your Solar Return chart this year is a fortunate aspect. It suggests that your domestic and career needs are not in competition with one another in the year ahead. Your inner needs tend to be mirrored by external events, and vice versa. This aspect is very powerful and rewarding. It suggests that you will be on top of your game this year, for the most part, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. A comfortable level of personal popularity helps to keep conflict to a minimum. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

You are very likely to attract loving relationships and/or new warm social contacts into your life. Your popularity increases and efforts to smooth over challenges in partnerships are more likely to succeed. Negotiations, marriage, and business partnerships fare well this year. You are more likely to receive support from others – for your ideas and wishes. Overall, finances should be strong.

It is easier than ever to express your individuality, as well as your sexuality, in a manner that is true to you. A new project or goal begun this year has a good chance of being successful and long-lasting. Your sexual and physical activities tend to be more intense, passionate, and focused. It’s an excellent year in which to make a lifestyle change, as your ability to concentrate on what really matters to you is enhanced.

You might find that you become more goal-oriented this year, as superficial goals no longer satisfy you. You want your objectives to reflect what you’re really about, and you are likely to rid yourself of unsatisfying goals this year. You benefit from being more decisive than usual, and your ability to concentrate and focus helps you to achieve what you set out to do.

Strong and stimulating–even motivating or inspiring–attractions to others are likely. Secret loves or attractions may develop and existing relationships tend to rise to a higher level of insight and understanding. New responsibilities or commitments in your love life and/or your financial life are likely to feature, and these are likely pleasant ones.

Favorable energy for social meetings and events, and for situations that call for treating others with equality and respect, is with you this year. You more easily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life.

There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies many of your thoughts this year. It’s a strong year for any project or studies that require concentrated effort. You are especially resourceful and more able to strategize when making plans.

In the year ahead, you will be making favorable contact through learning, communicating, and mental pursuits. The period ahead is likely to be an intellectually stimulating one in which the exchange of ideas with others figures prominently.

Social relationships and partnerships come into strong focus this year. Venus conjunct Mars in your Solar Return chart this year points to creative energy, romantic excitement, and playful competitiveness in relationships. Romance is in the air, as this aspect increases your sensuality, sex appeal, and animal magnetism. A new or enhanced relationship is possible. Now is also a good time to engage in creative projects and to join with others in pursuing a common goal. Competitive activities, in general, are favored.

Use this increased charisma and stronger creative impulses to your advantage. You might want to try out a new artistic hobby, for example, and you’re bound to feel inspired and enthusiastic about these activities. Your love nature is deeper and more intense this year.

Jupiter joined with Uranus is also found in your Solar Return chart, and this suggests the need for progressive change in your life. You might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom. You are open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of your willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. Enthusiasm runs high, the desire for freedom from restrictions is strong, and thirst for adventure is with you.

A considerably more settled year is ahead of you. You have the ability to use strategy in many areas of your life. Dedication comes naturally, whether that’s to a job, a cause, or a person (or a combination of these). You are likely to find that doors open for you this year on social, creative, and mental levels. Creative self-expression is a big theme in your life now. You possess more natural confidence than usual. New (and current) creative endeavors are likely to be successful. Increased personal magnetism and charisma are with you.
2010 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.

2011 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.

I don’t think they actually wanted our opinion of the performance. I think they just wanted us to enter the theatre.

I was browsing an online dance catalog recently and spotted this face amongst the pics:

I do believe I’ve seen this girl before, being a slight fanatic of the FOX TV series (shit news, but damn, they do programming well) So You Think You Can Dance, Season 5…

A pretty stellar dancer too.  Season 6 just isn’t the same. :(

Look Ma, Free Pants!

I remember back when I was in high school and was working in retail at a fabric store.  Some lady spotted a price discrepancy on a tag and informed me that if this was done by a store, the store was legally obliged to sell the item for the lowest ticketed price.  Does this mean I can get free pants from Title Nine?  (Click image to view larger.)  I hope so.
