I got the most tender package in the mail yesterday. It was from my childhood (weird that I can say that...) best friend, Julia. We haven't really talked in years, but semi-kept in touch via facebook. But she even remembered my address! The package included the following.
A Sufjan Stevens cd ("Age of Adz" as you can see) and my horoscope from the newspaper. Two weird things about this.
1. Two days ago, (the day before I got the package) I discovered how much I really like Sufjan Stevens. And the very next day I receive this cd. What are the odds?
This is what she wrote on the cd:
"Mono" means "one" -- but really, one?! "One" seems rather weak, and what you have, well, it sounds rather strong and terrible. Then again, if you are a Kylie, (and I think you are) "one" can be quite strong for one person--such as herself--is very great and powerful, indeed.
2. Every morning as I'm eating breakfast (or... whatever time/meal it happens to be when I first wake up) I like to read the comics. And right on top of the comics is the horoscopes. So I have been reading my horoscope like every day for awhile, just for fun. Not everyone does that. So what are the odds?
This is what the horoscope says:
Virgo: Recent research suggests that yawning raises alertness, enhances cognitive awareness, reduces stress, and strengthens the part of the brain that feels empathy. Andrew Newburg, M.D. goes so far as to recommend that you regularly induce yawns. He says it helps you solve problems, increases your efficiency, and intensifies your spiritual experiences. So here's my advice, Virgo. During the current phase of your astrological cycle - which is a time when self-improvement activities are especially favored - you should experiment with recreational yawning.
Ha. Recreational. But really, what are the odds?!
