Aquarius Horoscope for week of May 14, 2009

Verticle Oracle card Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Scientists find previously unknown species of plants and animals all the time, usually consisting of tiny populations in remote locations. But the latest addition to the great catalog of life is a species whose members number in the millions and cover a huge swath of Ethiopia. It's a tree that botanists have never had a name for until now: Acacia fumosa. Unlike other acacias, it produces pink blooms in the dry season instead of yellow or pink flowers in the wet season. I predict that you will soon have a comparable experience, Aquarius: You'll "discover" and identify a unique wellspring that has been around forever but unknown to you. As you tap into its charms, I trust that you will make up for lost time.

oh karl, you did it again....

i know- the man kind of gives me the willies....
but this collection touches me in all the romantic places-
i feel like the nooks and crannies of my soul are filled with silk
tulle, dip dyed under frocks, and hand made spider web laces....
add some Klimt hair-styles, smokey eyes, a 20's flapper vibe,
along with transparent, silky, Parisian stripes and i am done, done, done!
these are a few looks from the chanel 2010 resort collection fresh from a
gorgeous beach boardwalk runway at dusk!
just stunning....

fear of flying

I've been thinking about flying away...
as a crazy aviatrix making her flight plans-
i feel the need to defy gravity
perhaps a paper airplane made from leftover
to-do lists

absolute zero

By definition, 'absolute zero' is the coldest temperature theoretically possible, which is theoretically impossible to achieve. In other words, it's cold. Colder than a Chicago winter-- an unattainable, absolute zero. In temperatures close to absolute zero, matter takes on unusual properties and state changes. What would actually happen to matter at absolute zero can only be hypothesized. As is often unavoidable, scientists find they reach a human limit to their research. As artists, we translate and illustrate our human limitations.
Participating artists include: Jeremy Bolen, carlsweets, Miguel Guzman, nikki hollander, Damien James, Rob Jeffries, Jason Judd, Blake Parish Lewis, Sarah Perez, Holly Sabin, Stephen Shapiro, David Soukup, and Shawn Stucky.
