A terrifying prospect
Jun. 16th, 2004 01:05 pmThe current Freewill Astrology tells Aquarius:
"If you removed all of the homosexuals and homosexual influences from American culture, you would be pretty much left with the TV game show, 'Let’s Make a Deal.'" So proclaimed famed wit Fran Lebowitz. I'd wager that similar statements can be made about the cultures of every country where this horoscope is read. So wherever you live, Aquarius, let Lebowitz's observation be the starting point for your meditations this week. Think of all the beauty, creativity, and vitality that live in the world around you because of people whose relationships with gender are different from the standard models. For that matter, think of all the interesting experiences that have come your way--and may soon come your way again--because of your own refusal to strictly adhere to gender stereotypes.
Oh no! I need to spend more time thinking about gay men? What shall become of me? Geez, I think we're gonna need a hose over here...

Weirdness in the Checker's parking lot
Jun. 16th, 2004 02:51 pmThought I'd put the word out on this.
My office mate says that last night a man tried to get in the car with her teenage daughter while said office mate was returning the shopping cart. Daughter's story:
She saw the man (about 30 years old, 5'5", slim build, middle eastern or indian, dusky complexion, black hair) when she walked into the store. He was standing outside smoking a cigarrette. She then saw him in numerous aisles they walked down, and he passed them a couple times while they were bagging groceries (this is confirmed on the survelliance videos). After loading groceries in the trunk, mother went to return cart and daughter started the car. Man approached driver's side and daughter locked the doors. He then went around to the passenger side, and, finding that one locked as well, left. Mom circled the parking lot to try to find him but he was gone.
Be on the lookout.
