Amie Stuart ~ On the Back Porch

Bad insomnia last night–thank you Kara (who got her nose double bitchslapped by the cat at 3 AM).

I did catch up on some season finales including NCIS *WTF?* damn, Criminal Minds (OMG), and Gossip Girl *sigh* I still have about three weeks of LAO and SVU to watch and OMG did anyone watch the season finale for CSI Las Vegas? I nearly fell out!!!!

In other news NAILED goes on sale TUESDAY!

HANDS ON finaled in the First Coast Beacon contest (published) and I’m chatting at FARChatters today! So pop in and say hey!

From Rob Brezsny:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

There’s oil on Saturn’s moon Titan! NASA reports that its spacecraft Cassini found vast lakes of liquid hydrocarbons. There’s enough, from what I can tell, to supply 40 generations of humans with enough fuel to go joyriding in five-mile-a-gallon SUVs for a thousand years. In response to the revelation, militant patriots are already calling for the U.S. to invade and occupy Titan. In related news, I predict that a novel energy source will soon become available for your personal use, Leo. Luckily, it won’t be nearly as hard to tap into as Titan’s riches will be for the oil companies. It’ll also be much better for the environment.

Let’s hope that novel energy source has to do with Saturn turning direct.

From Astrology.com:

Saturn, the slow moving planet of karma and taskmaster of the zodiac, goes direct on May 2, 2008 at 8:07pm, PDT, ushering in an incredible period of possibilities and gifts.

Saturn commands us to get to work, and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this planet. So if you have been honest, responsible and hard working, gifts and rewards are coming your way! It could be a lucky break, a well-deserved raise at work or dreams you had given up, suddenly handed to you. However, if we have been shirking our responsibility or have been deceitful, then we will be found out and dealt with accordingly.

Saturn reinforces responsibility, carrying your share of the load and being held accountable for what you say or do — or say you are going to do. Saturn rules wisdom, however, it is wisdom gained from hard work and experience — earned one hard step at a time. During a direct period, Saturn inspires confidence. As its role as a teacher, during a direct transit, Saturn also bestows inner strength — a strength of spirit, a deepening sense of compassion and understanding of self, others or a particular situation.

Hey I just realized today is Rita/GH day! Are you waiting? Biting your nails? If you get the call, gimme a hollar!

Yesterday while home with sick child, I watched Mr. Brooks. All I can say is WOW! It was a TRUE psychological thriller….something we don’t see a lot of these days. I’m not sure who I liked best, Kevin Costner or William Hurt (as the psychotic devil on his shoulders). What I really liked though was…..Gonna put it below the cut because it’s a HUGE spoiler.
