Watching the Detectives

"You may find it hard to resist something that’s bad for you today but, just this once, maybe it’s ok to give in to your less disciplined side. Life is supposed to be fun and the really fun things are those we are not supposed to have."

This badge is from the 1940's. Someone in England is selling it on Ebay. I think I'm going to buy it and wear it, since I've been a detective for two days on the set of my dreams.

In this pilot, Kevin Bacon plays an FBI profiler who comes out of retirement to capture a particularly fiendish killer he put away years ago. The killer, Joe Carroll, is gorgeous, literate, and specializes in killing co-eds. He's escaped from prison and is using technology to create a cult of murderers.

In real life, I've been studying serial killers for years. Now I'm helping Kevin. Need I say more? 

Reason to Believe

"When is a problem not a problem? When you refuse to view it as such. That might sound simplistic but the planets indicate if you focus your mind on positive things the negative will cease to exist."

So true. And all joking aside, I do believe in Mind over matter,  and I believe that matter is not real. Of course, as a friend of mine once said, " I have a mind, but I find it doesn't matter."

So where does that leave me in the Grand Scheme of Things?

Cosmically challenged, but with a GPS.

 

Aphrodite

"Whatever challenges you are faced with this week you will deal with them with ease. Venus, your ruler, links to both Mars and Pluto in mid-week, endowing you with courage and confidence in abundance. You’ll thrive."

Monday I visited a dear friend and fellow estate jewelry dealer. After an intense bargaining session, I came away with the bracelet of my dreams. When I arrived home at midnight, I discovered both the Morgan County sheriff and a Madison police officer sitting in their parked squad cars across the street from my apartment. Undaunted, I hid my Prius in a back alley and floated undisturbed into the building through my neighbor's side door.

Venus 1, Mars and Pluto 0.

 

 

The Mylight Saga

"You are where you are for a reason and your primary objective should be to work out what that reason is. It won’t be as hard as it sounds: there are clues and pointers all around you."

You can say that again. At any moment, there could be another knock on the door.

So, I've ordered this Vampire Mannequin couple, and I'm dressing the man in a sheriff's uniform, and the woman in a white oxford shirt and bluejeans. 

I'm stationing them outside my front door. Get the picture, Officer Krupke?

 

Calamity Jane

"Moderation is a must today. If you fly too high, for whatever reason, the full moon will bring you back to earth with a bump. Find ways to have fun without pushing your luck every two minutes. It can be done!"

The sheriff came pounding on the door yesterday. Another credit card civil suit, I presume. I pretended to be the cat sitter and refused to open the door. I told him I was in Kentucky. I figure if they can't find me, they can't serve me.

So today, I decided to lay low, and work on my "to do" list.

One thing I decided I must do is re-new my Georgia gun permit. I called the courthouse to find out what steps I needed to take, and the clerk said "The first thing you do is call the sheriff"s office and make an appointment to have your fingerprints taken." 

Maybe if I wear a wig and a buckskin dress, they won't know it's me.

Give them the Bayonet

"All those worries and woes you have been carrying around with you suddenly seem irrelevant. The fact is they were always irrelevant, but you allowed yourself to believe  otherwise. Now you can approach the weekend with a smile."

Been there, done that, to a fare-thee well. It's all a blur these days. But whenever I'm in doubt, I raise my arm to Heaven and give the credit to God. Like my hero, Thomas J. Jackson.
