Subject:Kitten!
Security:Public

A friend of mine found a kitten last night. He seems healthy, and is probably about 4 or 5 weeks old. She can't keep him (allergic) and I can't take him (already have 2). Would anyone want to take him?

Here's a pic - it's a bit blurry 'cause it's from a phone:


I'm told he's very friendly and not afraid of people. If no one can take him in a day or so, we'll start contacting local rescue groups to see if they have space for him...

Subject:Stats Project
Security:Public

I have a project for my stats class. We're doing hypothesis testing. My project partner and I have our hypothesis, and we're on the data-collection part of the assignment now.

And this is where we shamelessly beg all of you on teh intarwebs for help.

We have a quick survey, and need 40 or more samples of data. It'll only take a few seconds - there are pictures of two faces; rate them on attractiveness (however you define it), on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 1 is not attractive, and 5 is very). That's it. Please don't rate the faces compared to each other, look at each alone.

Since I don't have a paid LJ account I can't create any nifty clickyboxes or polls, so please post your ratings in a comment. I'll set comments to be screened...

Thanks much for any replies!

Lovely hailstorm in San Jose today... the best part being that it didn't start until a few minutes after I got on the Death Trolley(tm).

This week, Brezsny says:

English poet William Wordsworth said that "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." By that definition, Sagittarius, you'll be a fount of poetry this week. For best results, though, don't immediately translate those spontaneous feelings into action. Let them have their way with you for a while before you decide what they all mean. It's one of those frothy, dazzling times when you have no more important task than to honor your emotional riches with your reverent, patient attention.

FNW was much fun last night. My Slightly Eviller Twin, [info]evildrmurgee, was DJing, so the music was good.

Hopefully he'll get to DJ at more of these.

This week, Brezsny says:

The transition you'll soon be going through should be exceptionally dramatic and fun, if a bit abrupt. You'll be evolving from a slow, sleepy meander to a savvy, scintillating bolt. As you finish getting your psychic batteries recharged, you'll accelerate quickly and be in sleek, fast motion before you know what's happening. Bid goodbye to your sabbatical, Sagittarius; say "yow" to the brilliant, bracing adventure.

...Right. So I'm going to drink how much coffee?

Brezsny says:

"Americans live inside their own private echo chambers," says syndicated writer Matt Zoller Seitz, "endlessly revisiting things they already know they like and avoiding exposure to anything new and different." Your assignment this week, Sagittarius, is to ask yourself if you fit Seitz's description, and then--if you do--to escape your private echo chamber. So for instance, if you're a tattooed pagan performance artist, attend a rodeo or NASCAR race; if you're a Christian Girl Scout leader, listen to Ani DiFranco or Radiohead, or read Noam Chomsky's radical critiques of American foreign policy. If you're an atheistic intellectual, take a workshop in ecstatic Sufi dancing or a class in Buddhist meditation. I think you catch my drift.

You Are A Realist


You are more romantic than 20% of the population.






When it comes to romance, you tend to take a realistic approach.
You believe that love takes time, and it's something you have to work hard for.
A bit cynical, over the top romance tends to get under your skin.
Your heart is difficult to win ... but it's totally worth it.



Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Brezsny says:

Movie actress Kate Winslet is your role model this week, Sagittarius. In her 17 movies, she has played a staggeringly wide variety of characters, from an innocent romantic in Sense and Sensibility, to a spontaneity-loving free spirit in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to a street-wise sewer rat for an upcoming claymation comedy called Flushed Away. Come to think of it, those are three of the many personas you might consider adapting in the coming days. Like Winslet, you should avoid typecasting as you keep yourself highly entertained in a dazzling array of colorful milieus.

...a dazzling array of colorful milieus? Well, there is fabric-shopping planned for today.
