I manage my life according to my horoscope. Specifically, this one. I am loathe to admit that what Susan Miller says for Sagittarius sometimes affects my decision-making process beyond simply who I send an email to, and when (but I’ll admit it anyway, reader, won’t I, because we’re in a bit of a dry patch, aren’t we?) No doubt dear old dad would send me to my room if he knew that I’ve even SIGNED REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS BASED ON THE DATES MY HOROSCOPE SAID TO SIGN THEM. Yes, that needed to be cap-locked, lest I fail to realize JUST HOW #%$*ING RIDICULOUS I AM.
But since life is so good that I have the leisure time to keep a half-assed blog, I must be doing something right, non? Thus, during this morning’s coffee I could scarcely pay attention to one of Husband’s usual rants (was it the CBC this time? Jack Layton? Rod and Todd from across the way? I forget), so entranced was I in October’s newly-released horoscope. Particularly this passage:
You may be speaking in front of others after Jupiter goes direct, publishing articles or books, or appearing on TV. You seem to have built a name for yourself, and the media will want to hear what you have to say.
I won’t lie: I thought of Ottawa Diva right away. But mostly because the other name I’ve made for myself isn’t PG rated, and I doubt anyone would want me speaking in front of them when those F-bombs went off.
But that’s beside the point, which is that JUPITER IS GOING DIRECT, PEOPLE. So if you’re a Sagittarius, CHECK YOUR EMAIL. In it, you might find a whole schwack of invitations to write about awesome Ottawa events, JUST BECAUSE THE NAME OF THE CITY IS IN THE TITLE OF YOUR BLOG. Because, seriously – that’s my only qualification.*
So here’s the first shout-out, since they asked for it, but I woulda given it to them anyway: Fashion Cures, a downtown extravaganza from November 4 – 7, which I can’t wait to write about, and not just because I only recently learned the definition of ’sartorial’, and now will have an excuse to use it in a blog post. But also because the events look positively squee-worthy, and the designers? Well, Relishing.ca and I were salivating for them over email this afternoon, as a matter of fact.
The best part? Proceeds will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Canada. Divas playing dress-up to help another diva out…GOD I LOVE THIS CITY.
*Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone!
