Summer of La Santisima Muerte, written on the 4th anniversary of Katrina. Is it me, or did the Grim Reaper get a little greedy these past few months?

Dear Readers... it’s been awhile. Now we’re staring straight into the hindquarters of August and I must needs explain myself as I’ve done exactly what you’re not supposed to do when starting a blog. I’ve neglected it for weeks. In late June I found fulltime & fabulous employment as a publicist for independent documentary and feature films, for which I am very grateful indeed. But, after being freelance for just about 4 years for the most part, it was a bit of a shock to realize that my writing time had shrunk immeasurably.

I must tell you that my pride & joy, The Weekend Horoscoop, which I kept up weekly for well over a year, bit the dust even before the fulltime job. Honestly, the column took a full day every week, and I just don’t have that kind of time anymore. I would love to resurrect it and I know it had a lot of followers, but unless someone pays me to do it… it’s over for now. Not forever though, at least I hope not. But I am back to posting regularly on SDJ!

Intense Holly! Raw and real. Keep going....:

Until such time as someone starts throwing me vast sums of cash to do the weekend horoscoop*, I am cutting back to a bi-weekly schedule. Therefore, the next horoscoop* will be posted Thursday June 11.

Please continue to send me ideas for places, music, books, films, tv shows, art openings, restaurants, et al to cover.

Please check out my Rubbernecking column this week on HuffPo. On Monday I wrote about the finale of The Hills, and it's almost refreshing to watch a program where no one seems to have anything resembling a personality.

Today I wrote about the insane ratings bonanza that is Jon & Kate Plus 8 through the eyes of a child of divorce.

Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem. If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem. ~”Sisters of Mercy,” Leonard Cohen~

Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants

~ Weekend Horoscoop* for April 17-19, 2009 ~ *I Dreamed A Dream Edition

http://snoopdujour.com/?p=1285

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
- From Les Miserables -
