Did you ever write a newspaper when you were a kid? Reviews of what you had for dinner the night before, a profile of your next-door neighbor, the police blotter of items your siblings stole from you. While I have no recollection of writing a childhood newspaper, the idea of doing so amuses me. The ultra-local news, from your somewhat slanted source. The Main Line Times writ tiny.
Some of Jane's readers, when prompted for comments (Letters to the Editor?) said they thought of a blog like a journal, where you write for yourself. As you would not expect your dear Diary to start talking back to you, why would you need comments to keep your blog going?
And so, because you never know what you will find in this tiny paper, especially when I am putting off packing, the horoscopes.
Aries: You kissed a drunk girl?!?! Today: It's your lucky day! Play the lottery, or pig out.
Taurus: Your papa was a rolling stone. Today: Treat yourself. Turn off your cell phone when you go to bed.
Gemini: You want a shoe horn, the kind with teeth. Today: You are likely to get sick in the coming days, so get plenty of Vitamin C.
Cancer: Don't drink, don't smoke... what do you do? Today: The TLA has one tag left for that movie you wanted. Run!
Leo: You've been hit by a smooth criminal. Today: Let's get real. Today is going to suck for you.
Virgo: You give love a bad name. Today: Skip that morning coffee.
Libra: You want it, you want it, you want it ... you can't have it. Today: Listen to some new music.
Scorpio: You're living in a rock and roll fantasy. Today: Pretend you're going to get a pet!
Sagittarius: You’re the kind of person that believes in making out once. Today: You're going to finish the crossword!
Capricorn: You make me feel so young. Today: Clean out your fridge, then get yourself a treat.
Aquarius: You come from the land down under. Today: You rule. Oh, wait. That's every day.
Pisces: You're once... twice.. three times a lady. Today: It's a good day to do laundry.
