noahgibbs: Me and my teddy bear at Karaoke after a day of RubyKaigi in HIroshima in 2017 (choo-choo (dzaa!))

Brezsny brings us the scary thought du jour:

The Chinese Year of the Monkey begins this week. According to astrologer Shelly Wu , it will be "rich in the unexpected," tweaking everyone's concept of what's normal. Ruses, half-truths, and tricks will proliferate, turning the whole year into an extended balancing act. Is anyone likely to thrive? Wu suggests it'll be those with agile intelligence, frisky imagination, and an affinity for risk and novelty. Sounds to me like she's describing the Gemini tribe. Are you ready to be a leader and role model for the rest of us?

You guys want me as a leader and role model, or what?

Sure, why not. Sounds entertaining, at worst.

but I wanted to be the leader. Let's face it, I'm cuter than you are.

Very true. You're much cuter than I am.

Let's compromise -- you can lead in matters of cuteness and imaginative friskiness (he mentions a frisky imagination), while I'll handle monkey noises and intellectual agility.

I'll take an affinity for risk, and you can have novelty.

Sound good?

Okay. You be the agile monkey, I'll be the frisky monkey :-)

Thrive? Bah. I've not done that since middle school. So no skin off my back [looks around warily at those with sharp-pointy implements-of-fun]

Yay monkey times!
My monkey and a half cheer on this upheaval. ("half" due to the fact that one of them is a bunny...but don't let his outward appearance fool you. He's plenty monkey too)

Well then, maybe it's time.

And I'm always in favor of monkey times :-)
