On a whim I checked dark and broody Rufus Sewell's birth sign: Scorpio.<BR/>29th of October, 1967.<BR/><BR/>I also checked the birthdays of the Star Trek TOS bridge crew + Scotty + Gene Roddenberry.<BR/>Not a Scorpio among 'em. Lots of fire signs (Aries, Leo)--no wonder they're STILL duking it out among themselves forty years later! <BR/>"I'm the star!" <BR/>"No, I'm the star!"<BR/>Scorpios would have just quietly poisoned each other and moved on... those left standing. : )<BR/><BR/>(You know I say all this with a grain of salt and a big affectionate smile, right?)Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-4959048926825845722008-11-10T15:40:00.000-06:002008-11-10T15:40:00.000-06:00Thanks, Momo!I followed up your link to Laughing S...Thanks, Momo!<BR/>I followed up your link to Laughing Squid on your blogroll and found a live stream to shiba-inu puppies:<BR/><BR/>http://laughingsquid.com/live-stream-of-shiba-inu-puppies/<BR/><BR/>I hereby deem that squeals of insane delight count toward the doctor's orders of laughing 30x/day.

I have also discovered Mock, Scissors, Paper, which is usually good for a laugh or tow. Jon Stewart on Comedy Central is good for at least one belly laugh and several snorts. That gets me up to 10-15 laughs. Dose can be administered upon rising, or before bedtime.<BR/>Sometimes Rich over at FourFour puts up something hilarious about America's Next Top Model or his cat Winston.<BR/>Last night, I saw something about Otto the Octopus in Germany that was really funny, but I can't remember where.<BR/><BR/>LOVED Middlemarch! Also read Romola, but not really as funny.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149328149132703479noreply@blogger.com
