This evening’s fortune: "You have an unusually magnetic personality."<\/p>\n

Who, me<\/i>? Is that "unusually magnetic" as in "tends to attract
\nnon-metallic things" such as inconveniences, headaches, problems, and nuisances
\nof various sorts (e.g., droves of
\nlarge black ants<\/a>
\ninfesting our soon-to-be-former home)? Or is it "unusually magnetic" as in
\n"tending to attract non-magnetic metals" like the
\naluminum carving
\nblade\/screen door<\/a> I reported on last weekend? Or…. Or is it a typo, meant
\ninstead to be "magentic personality," as in the deep purply-red hue to might
\nfind upon biting into a plum? <\/p>\n

I’m settling on number three, content that A.) I have some traces of personality left
\nfollowing B.) the fuchsin events<\/acronym> of the day I’ve
\nhad.<\/p>\n

Oh, fine, so I hyperbolize, but not by much. Could be the monosodium
\nglutamates carrying over from a pile of savory General Tso tofu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
