La Fée Verte

My Unfabulous iPhone/iPod/iPad ...

What's been playing on my iPhone this week ... 

S. Carey / All We Grow - 

Marck was making one of his semi-daily pilgrimages to the local Starbucks last week and happened to grab one of the "free download" cards that always sit on the counter and brought it home to me.  Now I'm not one who usually takes these cards because 1) I'm to lazy to actually follow through on the redeeming part , and 2) I usually forget that it's in my bag/pocket. But this time , trying to keep one of my New Year non-resolutions of getting more (new) music in my life , I downloaded the song We Fell :

I was glad that I downloaded it.  S. Carey immediately reminded me Bon Iver ( and after reading some of the reviews online i'm not the only one) , an artist who although is not at the top of my list, is great to listen to all the same.  I've had this playing in the background all week & will probably put it into rotation a lot this coming year ...

New Zodiac Sign Dates: Ophiuchus The 13th Sign?

Your zodiac sign may not actually be your zodiac sign anymore. (UPDATE: Scroll down for Twitter reactions -- and to submit your own!)

Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.

The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed.

While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC.

See if your Zodiac sign has changed below. (And find out if your friends' signs have changed here or by scrolling down on this page.)

I was born on the Night of Hecate, on a Wednesday, under a black moon, and you are going to tell me I'm a Libra??? I think not.

Apparently I have traded one water-sign for another ..... I guess I am now a part of the Age of Aquarius ...
