Buffynicity #1:  A day or two ago I got an e-mail announcing a “pet communicator” who is speaking in September.  I’ve never been to one but tonight within an hour before going to run I was looking at that mail and decided to go.  After a long while of thinking they were slightly silly I decided to give it a chance.  Then in the opening scene of the second episode tonight River was talking to a cow and telling everybody what was on the cow’s mind.

 River sitting on the ground outside the corral, staring at a calf.

  RIVER
 Little soul, big world. Eat, sleep,
 and eat… Many souls.

 MAL
 (to Jayne)
 Cattle on the ship three weeks, she don’t
 go near ‘em. Suddenly we’re on Jiangyin
 and she’s got a driving need to commune
 with the beast?

 RIVER
 They weren’t cows inside. They were
 waiting to be, but they forgot. Now
 they see the sky and they remember
 what they are.

There was just the one, or rather there were probably more but I forgot. 

I’m tired and I’m going to bed so I’ll just say that I got what I expected when the Moon was squaring Neptune.  Furthermore when the Moon was sextiling Jupiter in the evening I was having my car inspected for some body work that was mostly covered by my insurance, so that was very nice indeed.  I was feeling very happy to have a nice job and a nice car and be on my way to prosperity. 

Uranus is going retrograde in a while.  I’ll be asleep but I’m looking forward to seeing what it feels like.

Tomorrow, Moon trining Uranus in the afternoon should bring some fun.  Then the Moon enters Capricorn.  I note that once again I am dealing with car maintenance when the Moon is in Capricorn.  Fortunately, however, this is less urgent than the last two times so it’s like a wave that’s receding.
