Frankly Franco (overachievers anonymous)

Initially I was not mesmerized by Mr. Franco’s talent.
(as in ‘James…who?’)
As fate would have it–I watched the film, ‘Annapolis,’ (most unfortunately while my son was a midshipman AT Annapolis) and it was a bit more Sci-fi to my reality than anything Roswell, NM could offer…..The film was very surreal. Very.

Act II: I heard about a segment on 30 Rock in which James Franco played himself dating a Japanese Pillow (yeah, you can laugh, but dudes actually take these on “rabu rabu” Love getaways in Japan) (like, really)…

Quote: ‘I’ll loan you a shirt, try to look like you just got drilled, you know the deal’
….such a romantic (really shows through the lines). Be still my heart (obviously, James is my kind of guy).

Act III: Saw Mr. Franco on SNL’s digital short: Tizzle Wizzle (Jammy Shuffle) and Fell in Love.
and I mean, yeah—I’d like to peel off his Dr. Denton’s.

Act IV: Learned that not only is “Jim” (decided to get friendlier here) working on his PHD at Yale and teaching at Columbia, but he’s doing a soap opera and writing books.

I wonder if the dude ever sleeps. If so HOW….WHEN?????

Reportedly, James recently broke up with his girlfriend of many years as he ‘took on’ YET ANOTHER project and well, he didn’t have much time to spare.
Surprise.

Gucci, me and the camera REALLY like him a lot.

So that said…I want to Marry him.
Or at least write a sonnet.
(maybe haiku….?)
Yep.

He’s smart.
He’s busy
He’s funny
and…he’s an Aries.
(He’s also a Horse in Chinese astrology, but I really don’t see myself wanting to clean out his hooves or put a saddle on him.)

(BUT at least let me bid on a date with him on eBay–Eric Gazin surely has an auction tailored to this quest that will benefit SOMEONE)

okay, on a different note:
Our most sincere YYC condolences to Mr. Franco and his family on the loss of his father last week.

Actually, our admiration for Mr. Franco is not just for being another pretty face.
….but,
He is kinda cute.
In that ‘reading the Iliad’ sort of way.

Looking forward to President Franco.

YYC’s Aries Favourites: Christopher Walken

Wow–Christopher Walken just had a birthday. About this birthday thing, you know—it’s kinda crazy.

This guy has style and one syncopated rhythm.

October Transits–or, sorry my dog ate my homework

October Transits–or, sorry my dog ate my homework. It didn’t work when I was in fifth grade (partially because I didn’t have a dog–but, hey my Moon is in Sag, so I still tried) and it doesn’t work now. Apparently, I’m not working either, so let’s get in gear and change all that (better late than never).

First of all, let’s just say that while October is stressful in different ways for cardinal signs (LIBRA, Aries, Capricorn and Cancer Natives) it generally eases up by the end of the next month–think 23 November. This is as a rule, but of course, rules are always broken. Think of Libra as your sign of mitigating circumstances.

In Astrology, Libra is associated with the seventh house of the horoscope. That cues us in to the nature of things governed–for example: partnerships, marriage, open enemies. Funny how marriage and open enemies get lumped into the same casserole dish, isn’t it. By open enemies (as opposed to the twelfth house variety that seem to slither in and bite you on your butt) we mean: you know neither of you agree. Period. Even if your NATAL (as in the chart YOU were born with…..) ascendant doesn’t correlate to this overlay (and there is a 1 in 12 chance it doesn’t) you will see these issues play into your dynamic at this time of year.

Back to the trusty calendar….Mercury does that retrograde thing AGAIN on 12 October (EST USA) which means for God’s sake don’t buy a car or sign your name on a dotted line unless you want to do it again in a few transits. It’s stuck in Reverse until November 2. Your DVD player may be too.

Venus is chugging forth in Virgo as of 8 October. Not a particularly romantic placement unless lists make you melt–Venus much prefers the warmth of Taurus or upcoming Libran aesthetics (November 9, 2007). Good time to think about that diet you’ve been considering.

Mars entered Cancer on September 29. Talk about not getting to the point, this transit undermines just about every direct move you make (Especially those of us lucky enough to have it in our Natal charts–on the bright side, Mars in Cancer is intuitive and knows it won’t work out anyway…..). This is going to be a long haul as it will also Retrograde BACKWARD starting on November 15 (Bad news for Prince Charles……just watch, Kids) and torment the hell out of Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn until February. Fun, fun, fun.

Finally, Jupiter is in it’s own party position–Sagittarius, so at least your friends will be there for you. And you for them.
