The other day when I was out and about,
I brought home a bunch of free papers to read.

I brought home a current quarterly edition for Breitenbush Hotsprings (they have a bunch of new workshops on their retreat menu for fall). Also, Willamette Weekly (love reading the editorial and the horoscope section). And.... Oregon Beer Grower, a Sunset magazine, and a Water Utility Report for the northwest region (Ore/Wa area, I believe).

Here's what Free Will Astrology said for my sign (Gemini):
"Dear Doctor of Love: My heart is itchy. I'm totally serious. I'm not talking about some phantom tingle on the skin of my chest. What I mean is that the prickling sensation originates in the throbbing organ inside of me. Is this even possible? Have you heard of such a thing? Could it be some astrological phenomenon? What should I do?"
-- Itchy Hearted Gemini.

"Dear Gemini: I suspect that it's not just you, but many Gemini's, who are experiencing symptoms like yours. From what I can tell, you have a lot of trapped feelings in your heart that need to be identified, liberated and dealt with."
I also brought the Willamette Weekly paper home because I saw an article in it that looks interesting to read on Art Culture. The title of the article is:

A Ballerina
A Best-Seller
and
A Violinist
Take High Culture
Slumming:
ARTBREAKER.


Excerpt from article:
There's only a thin and jagged line separating find and popular art, though, and context is important. The Washington Post demonstrated this in 2007. In Gene Weingarten's Pulitzer Prize-winning feature story "Pearls Before Breakfast," he took world-class violinist Joshua Bell busking at a subway station. Bureaucratic drones buzzed right past Bell -- as he played a $3.5 million Stradivarius. Only one woman recognized she was watching one of the world's best classical musicians (WW, p. 15).
