Vindemiatrix and the art of collecting clutter.

Well I managed to empty the pantry of everything other than the stuff we'll need before we go; stuff like H.P. brown sauce and malt vinegar. Mickaleen has to have vinegar and brown sauce on his chips or there'll be blood. What the fuck, I gave up ham and bacon, I'm entitled to my saucy chips. I've cleared 4 shelves of what seems like the entire food supply of Pakistan this afternoon.I also bagged up the medicines Saba keeps in the kitchen cabinet. Some of them are so old they have Louis Pasteur's autograph on the label. Saba keeps everything. She has the fixed star Vindemiatrix paran to her Mercury and at the Heliacal setting position. Vindemiatrix is associated with gathering and collecting - data, information, objects, anything. What a surprise Sherlock Geez!
Anyway I did my bit today and celebrated with two cups of fresh ground Cawfee laced with a kick of Jameson. That'll do it.

I checked Dubya's temperament balance. 20% Sanguine, 80% Choleric. Eighty fuckin' percent. What a surprise. "I wanna be known as a war president", he once said. Well ya did that ya smarmy, mendacious fucker. You've also managed to show the world that you're a wanker, so big high-five on that.
Here's a typical analysis of the dominant choleric temperament:

"The choleric is your original "type A" personality. This temperament is characterized by quick, intense reactions to both external and internal stimuli. Reactions are sustained over time, so the choleric temperament is not only decisive, but also tenacious and driven to follow-through. The choleric is typically extraverted--which means that his energy is focused externally, actively, and socially. This temperament is characterized by determination, energy, forcefulness, confidence, intensity, and vitality.
If you are a choleric, you are a dynamic, self-motivated leader who can set your sights on a target and relentlessly pursue it until success is achieved. You are a strong-willed individual who makes decisions quickly and decisively, and who readily and easily grasps difficult concepts and strategies. Learning comes quickly to you, and you like to take action immediately. You think logically and pragmatically, and are sometimes accused of "rolling over" people once you have set a plan in motion. You do not readily reveal deep emotions—except anger. Cholerics are often accused of being stubborn, domineering, and dictatorial. You demand loyalty from your friends, and thrive when you are in control. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a choleric president: "There is nothing I love as much as a good fight," he famously said. If you are a choleric, humility comes with difficulty. You have a predilection for doing your own will, and thinking that you always know what is right and best."

I'm sure the people of Iraq wouldn't argue with that. Shock. Awe.

Have a great night, Danagher's daughter. Keep making Lucy laugh. Do an impression of me doing Mickaleen - and try not to slide down the walls :-)

Oh, and let her put on her own slippers, she needs that self-esteem moment. If you tried to put my slippers on for me, I'd thpit in yer eye ;-)
