Chile from Within A beautiful and haunting photographic remembrance and personal history of the events surrounding Allende's overthrow and takeover by Pinochet, including the 15 years of disappearances and reign of state terror
Antonia's Line This week I advocate a really weird philosophical family epic about life and death and really weird people you just have to love. Beautiful and funny and with a hilarious sex scene like you've never experienced.

The Big Chill My life's challenge: how to maintain my ideals and passion no matter what
Reality Bites So funny! So '90s! Do we need anything else?
Garden State So gently warm and funny, especially if you love Zach Braff-type nerds like I do
Damien Rice: O I LOVE this CD. It's just haunting. Perfect for a quiet moment. Soooo good.
The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow This is one of my favorites, and from Albuquerque boys, too! I mean, how perfect a song is "Mine's Not a High Horse"? PERFECT, I tell you!
Iron & Wine and Calexico: In the Reins If you like Iron & Wine (I do) and you like Calexico (I do), give this collaboration a try. Each song is good for distinctly different reasons. It works, but unexpectedly so.

The Grateful Dead: American Beauty I'm not a dead head - in fact this is the only album of theirs i have. But Box of Rain is incredible.
X:Under the Big Black Sun Just great punk rock, with a poet on the mic, and a little bit of a country twang.
ARIES: You have learned by now not to make too many assumptions, but for better or worse you're not working with complete information and will need to make a leap based on a few good guesses. What matters most is that you use the information you have available. Gather that information sooner rather than later, even if the task seems impossible, or certain delays seem interminable. Actually, nothing is really taking as long as it seems, and much that seems to make no sense will actually seem more than sensible. So, you will need to do something rather un-Arian, which is be patient in the face of gradually building pressure that may, by the time the Sun enters your sign, feel somewhat overwhelming. But the sense of excitement will be palpable, and you will know you're approaching a real turning point, and at such times, keep in mind what you want, do your best, hope for the best, and forget the rest.
CANCER: The shortest distance between you and your highest goals is a total solar eclipse. The thing is, your goals are on the level of a public resource. We may ask why in the human experience some people emerge as leaders and some as followers (with plenty who need to get out of the way). It may be that there's a cycle; it may be that some keep reincarnating in positions where the strength of their character and the clarity of their visions are what is emphasized. Or, in your case, there is a sense of feeling compelled and in a way destined to guide a certain dimension of existence on the physical plane in a particular direction, at this time in your life. There may be a big change involved for you -- or you just may rise gracefully to what you know you need to do. In any event, the time is at hand.
VIRGO: Your life recently has been like an experiment in the laboratory of Nikola Tesla. I would say 'Thomas Edison', but he was not nearly as cool. You have been on the receiving end of revolutionary ideas, stunning influences and all kinds of new energy. People have come into your life -- or you have invited them into your life -- and they have shaken up your reality. These are all having an influence on you, which may be stressful, inspiring, downright strange or even a bit nerve-wracking. The truth is you need these influences, and you can benefit greatly from them. But to maximize these changes, you must use your most precious gift, which is your flexibility. This will allow you to adjust your self-concept quickly and without resistance, so that you can open your life up to a greater sense of both strength and freedom. Remember, these things are all ideas -- but you are an idea.
And mine is pretty good too. It's pretty funny actually. Total solar eclipse indeed. Goals so big they are impossible to figure out how to attack. Anyhow, I do feel strongly that change is right around the corner--if only I'll embrace it and make it happen.

But I'm tired of waiting and being patient!
SUCH an Aries.
Does he have you pegged, or what? Of all of us, your 'scopes are always the rightest-on.

PS: Brian Francis is a hermaphrodite.
Mikaela's the Virgo. By the way, don't think you can just claim Virgos being a Virilibran and all...
Yes. Brian Francis discord noted here in comments.
