Sagittarius Horoscope for week of January 29, 2009

"If your actions speak louder than words," rants TV pundit Stephen Colbert, "then you're not yelling loudly enough." That's a funnier variant of the advice I have for you, Sagittarius, which is as follows: The coming week is a time for crafty talk, not impulsive deeds; a time for intense discussion, not brash exploits. Engaging in almost any kind of negotiation, even if it's heated and convoluted, is better than leaping into an adventure prematurely. It's my opinion that you and yours will have to express a lot of ideas and feelings in order to uncover the understandings that should be at the root of your next moves.

I wonder if this has to do with the fact that I want so desperately to just GO. I know it is impossible. But I can't help but thinking, as I am looking for a job again, I could get work in no time in Seattle. I have a promise to my mom, though, and I wouldn't even bring it up -- the idea of leaving before our lease is up. I don't want to be rash, but shit god damn. What am I doing here? Why? I've had the plenty of space to think and to be alone. My extrovert needs more attention than I can give it here.

So. Anyway. Tomorrow I am going into Boston to have tea with Jones and to get my teeth x-rayed. Yes, Jonesy is in town. And I found a guy on CL who is looking for someone to sit his dental exam while he gives them fillings. He's going to pay me for it if I am the right candidate. I hope I am. Fifty bucks AND fillings? Yes please. Plus he sounds very nice, and even that amount of social interaction would do me some good.
