Excuse me for this trivial thing, but, much like people cheer when their favorite team wins a Super-bowl or World Series, so did I cheer tonight when Adrianne became "America's next Top Model".
I nearly knocked down the shelf behind me.

What can I say, the show filled the void left behind by "Buffy". I only started watching when they went to Paris, because I had to watch when they were in Paris.

Go Adrianne! The tomboy from Chicago won. Right on!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What makes a song popular? A
charismatic singer, high-tech production, and millions of
dollars' worth of marketing? In the modern world, yes, but not
in other times and places. In his article "Rhythm, Myth and
Spirit," David Pulak notes that among the Zuñi Indian tribe,
music "is judged by how well it resonates with the experiences
of the community." In other words, a good song articulates
everyone's unconscious feelings and unverbalized beliefs,
thereby creating group solidarity. Your assignment in the
coming weeks, Libra, is to use everything -- music, ritual,
constructive gossip, parties, pep talks, or whatever works -- to
do for your tribe what music does for the Zuñi.
