Agitarius | Day 51
Bumpin' Elbows, Harlot Daiquiri Limbo Contest, Nancy's Phone Dings, And Project Stakeholders Can't Hear Kelly
Monday, March 18th (Moon in Leon to Scalpio, 10:22 p.m.)
Today will be the first day whipping together the various ingredients in your new recipe for life! But, as with any untried dish, the preparation and presentation will encounter some initial challenges in both timing and seasoning to taste. The medium-size cooler packed with smoky, juicy racks of flame-roasted beef ribs will pair uncomfortably with the bitterness of your girlfriend, who will now be required to shuttle Nestor’s Junior to and from school indefinitely. A spate of sour one-liner Slack comments from various project stakeholders regarding the color grading and audio on your most recent video editing project (e.g., “too orange”, “soft focus?”, “dial down magenta 15%”, “supposed to be orange or no?”, “Nancy’s phone dings”, “tangerine looks orange”, “WHY SO LOUD?”, “crop 1:1 for soc.”, “supposed to b longer or all we got?”, “why is this relevant?”, “punch the orange, too much purple”, “can’t hear Kelly”, “rough cut or final???”, “spider on wall in bkd”, “punch in more”, “hard to see”, “too short”, “dark spot on wall keeps moving”, “Bonnie blinks”, “?”, “can u frame for IG? THX.”) will be quelled by the high-alto sweetness of E.A. or S.L.’s voice recounting the deep drama of baby shower henplay (“That’s the thing, there wasn’t supposed to be a limbo contest, but no one told [Aunt Til] the virgin daiquiris hid their high school diaries for a reason.”) as you walk through the parking lot close enough to “accidentally” bump elbows more than twice. A spicy phone call from your mother will burn your tongue, making you want to spit and scream, but the creamy memory of a bumped parking lot elbow will smooth your crunchy mind like a soft-serve Dairy Queen dip cone with peanuts. Your lucky color is milk chocolate dip.
