These days I'm not one to put much stock in the celestial bodies and their movement/impact on my life... planets revolve as they have for many a millenia and will continue to do so for many a millenia more.

So why has this last month been like fighting an uphill battle, banging my head against the proverbial brick wall? Why it's so very easy to tick friends off, and make enemies of the easiest going of people? Things that are normally easy are extraordinarily difficult... and I wonder if my Babblefish is broken and I'm suddenly speaking Klingon in a Goa'uld home world. (and if you followed that, you're a supreme geek! YAY! I salute you!)
