state and city governments expected to continue in 2010, if not worsen, groups like the CPVAW and the Walnut Avenue Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center will likely hear the familiar exhortation to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do more with less.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our No. 1 priority right now is just to keep our doors open,â&#x20AC;? says Kristie Clemens, director of Domestic Violence Programs at WAWC, who has shown up to hold a candle at Schrockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vigil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing the level of violence in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationships escalate.

Under the fiscal year 2009â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2010 budget, the city of Santa Cruz cut funding to WAWC by roughly $27,000 and to the CPVAW by nearly $33,000. On the state level the picture is even grimmer. Having cut financing completely for all 94 of the state-sponsored domestic violence shelters last year and forced state legislatures to borrow temporary funding to keep shelters open, the latest state budget proposed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to offer no financial support to

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;saving grace,â&#x20AC;? says Clemens, is the number of volunteers who have offered their help and the grassroots efforts of other women who pledge their time away from the center.

Home in the Range Fears about greenhouse gases could point the way to a denser, greener, more affordable Santa Cruz 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

L

ETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S START by stating the obvious: people around here feel very strongly about housing development. Or putting a stop to it.

This little coastal town has seen some big divisions and plenty of lines drawn in the sand when it comes to deciding how to house the new immigrants, students and trannies (as in transplants) that arrive in a steadily increasing stream each year. Some of the best-known playersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the bitterati of the housing fightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have been battling for decades now along predictable factional lines: environmentalists vs. developers, progressives vs. business interests. Toss in the affordable housing advocates, the anti-university front and the people who just like things the way they are, and what you get is a turf war as heated as gangland. There is no shortage of drama here.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the kind of discussion Rick Longinotti wants to have anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important time. There is a convergence in interests between developers and those interested in social justice,â&#x20AC;? says the family therapist and co-founder of Nonviolent Communication Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that some of the conf lict has been based on understandings or beliefs that have now been changed or are changing.â&#x20AC;?

The evolution in ideology has Longinotti hoping that Santa Cruz might finally be able to address a problem that has plagued it for decades: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are we losing ground on affordable housing? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fool ourselves. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just getting worse,â&#x20AC;? he says. ¨

For the last 20 years, Santa Cruz County has maintained the dubious honor of being one of the least affordable places in the nation. While the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development considers housing that costs 30 percent or less of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take-home pay â&#x20AC;&#x153;affordable,â&#x20AC;? over the last 10 years the Santa Cruz County Community Assessment Project has consistently found that at least half of county residents spend more than that.

In 2007, 24.8 percent indicated they spent half or more of their income on housing; the figure has more or less held steady since. Rents have been on a runaway train for years, leaping 48 percent from 1995 to 2004 and 22.6 percent between 2003 and 2009. Even during an economic recession that saw the median price of a home plummet from $655,000 in 2007 to $347,000 in 2009, the average rent still rose; a two-bedroom apartment that cost

j #

A/<B/1@CH 1=; januray 13-20, 2010 1=D3@ AB=@G

$1,466 in 2007 commanded $1,713 last year. Meanwhile, our numbers creep relentlessly upwardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;CAP estimated the county population was 268,637 in January 2009, and AMBAG estimates that number to grow to 274,000 by 2015â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and to 290,000 by 2030.

On the surface, this may not appear to be of concern to Transition Santa Cruz, the year-and-a-half-old grassroots organization Longinotti helped found.

The group focuses on planning for a thriving post-peak-oil-era Santa Cruz, and its past workshopsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on re-skilling, local food and land useâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have been geared to that end. But Longinotti discovered last June at a TSC workshop that some of the regular attendees were also players in the ongoing affordable housing debateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; people like developer John Swift, former mayor and environmental attorney Celia Scott and former chairman of the City of Santa Cruz Housing Advisory Committee (and Santa Cruz Weekly calendar editor) Paul Wagner. Longinotti noticed that, while they may not have always agreed with one another on housing issues in the past, ending Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliance on fossil fuels was something they could all get behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was people who had been enemies, on opposite sides of the issues.

When thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particular project, you go up and say your piece to city council and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to each other. This was a new experience for some people,â&#x20AC;? says Longinotti.

It made him realize that the housing problem and building a post-peak-oil-era Santa Cruz are inextricably linked, and that these players had more in common than they might have once thought. It inspired him to plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Housing Within Reach: Of Our Pocketbooks; Of Our Workplaces, Schools, & Stores,â&#x20AC;? a fiveweek lecture series on making Santa Cruz County a more affordable place to call home. The first meeting, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overview of Housing Economics: Why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing ground on affordability and what we can do about it,â&#x20AC;? is this Thursday, Jan. 14. Meetings follow every other Thursday night through March 11.

So what kind of issues could possibly get a for-profit developer, an environmental lawyer and an affordable housing advocate at the same table on the dais? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the scales have tipped. For many years, it was the environment at all costs. I think that shortchanges some of the social goals this town also holds dear,â&#x20AC;? says developer Swift, who will be presenting in the third week of the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a legitimate environmental movement and a legitimate developer movement.

The two are not at odds, ultimately.â&#x20AC;?

Although Swift is currently working on the controversial Golf Club Drive project that neighbors Pogonipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a plan criticized by enviros, who says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wiping out farmland, and transportation advocates, who say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on a major corridorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Longinotti says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what he wants the discussion to center on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done arguing over the individual projects. The main idea is something people can agree on,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The main idea, and why TSC is involved, is pretty simple: Santa Cruz has jobs. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too expensive for our baristas, field workers and stockboys to live here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to drive here from outside. Every person behind the wheel is pushing up greenhouse gases and fossil fuel consumption. Why not develop mixed-use communities along transit corridors dense enough to promote affordability and alternative transportation, and render commuting obsolete? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Appropriate density improves the quality of life,â&#x20AC;? says Longinotti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More housing in Santa Cruz is a good thing for the environment.â&#x20AC;?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re So Pretty How did we get here? One of the main reasons is no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too beautiful here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well off in California, you probably will move to the coast,â&#x20AC;? says former Santa Cruz mayor and Week One series speaker Bruce Van Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means huge demand that is not going to let up for a long time. That demand is making it harder for people who work in Santa Cruz to be able to afford to live here.â&#x20AC;?

The other indisputable factor is the arrival of the University of California Santa Cruz in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, which caused a sudden 29 percent jump in population in the city of Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The university put huge pressure on the housing market here. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody disputes that anymore,â&#x20AC;? says Van Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six [students] can afford a much higher rent than the family they pushed out with two working people. It works directly against tenants.â&#x20AC;?

Beyond these two unchangeable factors (â&#x20AC;&#x153;What should we do to make this place less desirableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;drop stink bombs?â&#x20AC;? says Van Allen) are the policies that arose in response to them. Measure J, passed in 1978, drew urban service lines to discourage sprawl and put a cap on the county growth rate (it also included a 15 percent affordable housing provision). Santa Cruz developed tight building restrictions and elected a series of picky, environmentally minded ¨ $

governments that created fewer spaces to build on and burnished Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation for knowing what it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want better than what it does. The defeat of rent control laws in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s and the fact that UCSC only provides housing for about half of its students are also contributing factors to booming housing costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growth control was really important.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like Orange County,â&#x20AC;? says Longinotti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, it had an impact on the cost of housing.â&#x20AC;?

But participants plan to skip the finger-pointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do pure economics,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Wagner, who kicks off the series with Van Allen this Thursday. Wagner plans to discuss zoning policies that have favored the construction of single-family homes over projects that would be able to incorporate some of the smart-growth, smart-density principles, while Van Allen will go into the history

of policies on a national, state and local scale that subsidize home ownership but do little for renters. Week two features Carol Berg, manager of Santa Cruz Housing and Community Development, talking about city programs for housing affordability and their effectiveness; and Jan Lindenthal, vice president of the nonprofit developer Mid-Peninsula Housing, on putting public funds toward affordable housing projects. John Swift will focus week three on practical ways to make smart-density a reality, through regulatory changes, design and zoning changes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be joined by Jeff Oberdorfer, executive director of San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based First Community Housing, speaking about innovative public-private partnerships. Longinotti will touch on ways density and development can actually get cars off the streets, including specific thoughts on unbundling the cost of parking from rent or home purchase prices and lower parking requirements.

In week four John Doughty, executive director of AMBAG, and Celia Scott will tackle the linkage between transportation costs and growth, in particular the widening of Highway 1 and the impact of S.B. 375, which incentivizes counties to plan transportation projects that curb greenhouse gas emissions. The series closes with David Foster, a Santa Cruz planning commissioner, on ways to partner up and move forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an invitation for the community to come together and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this now, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put some of these ideas into practice,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Longinotti.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Once you get past three stories and you have to start putting in elevators and infrastructure, the sustainability sort of flattens out. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sort of a sweet spot at three stories that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too obtrusive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; RICK LONGINOTTI Opinionated Bunch But just because these thinkers have agreed to participate in a series of forums doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they necessarily agree on the solutions to our affordable housing conundrum. For example, while Van Allen leans more toward the idea of rent control and drumming up the political will to get more rentersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights, Wagner describes himself as being more of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;build, baby, buildâ&#x20AC;? persuasion. Longinotti

wants to amp up the number of granny units, while Van Allen is skeptical about their ability to lower rents. And while some people equate â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart densityâ&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-rise hell,â&#x20AC;? Longinotti says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how he envisions things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you get past three stories and you have to start putting in elevators and infrastructure, the sustainability sort of flattens out,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sort of a sweet spot at three stories that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too obtrusive.â&#x20AC;?

When asked to pick out a current or upcoming project they see as the right direction for housing in Santa Cruz, the participants give varying answers.

Wagner likes the 40 percent affordable apartments at the 1010 Pacific and its sister project on Shaffer Road that were achieved through public subsidies.

Longinotti likes the granny unit in David Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back yard where Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents live. Swift likes the mixed-use 2120 Delaware projectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which has stalled due to the economy but still has a sign stuck in the ground that reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you worked here . . . youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be home by now!â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Van Allen likes the mobile home parks whose residents have formed cooperatives.

Nevertheless, Longinotti is hopeful that some new innovations and new blood will invigorate the Q&A sessions that will follow each meeting, and the local discussion as a whole. And he thinks all the speakers can agree on a basic vision of the Santa Cruz of the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like a community where people can enjoy getting to where they want to go without heavily relying on the automobile, and where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing that meets the needs of all levels of income,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only people who work here that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to live here, but people who grew up here, come of age and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in their community.â&#x20AC;?

Swift agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some people like a more vital environment where walking and bicycling and being more social in a socially dense environment is not a bad thing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying every place in the county has to be that way, [but] this could be a good way to live close to your neighbors, sharing your community,â&#x20AC;? he says.

ANDREW STEWART: And the subject matters themselves. You could have a Japanese internment camp and go to the civil war to a modern contemporary piece.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beauty of it. It stretches the span of history and time. /`S bVS`S Z]QOZ ^ZOga SdS`g gSO`-

CHANDLER: Oh, every year.

SPENCER: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have seven of the eight playwrights on opening night. Some are coming from San Francisco, over the hill.

The one not coming is from Kansas.

CHANDLER: But they have in the past.

STEWART: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come from as far as the East Coast. Washington state, Australia.

SPENCER: Last year we had our first admission from Russia.

CHANDLER: But that was a lousy play.

STEWART: No Chekhov there! /`S g]c aSSW\U O\g PWU QVO\USa W\ bVS O`b T]`[ ]dS` bVS gSO`a- 7a Wb [Obc`W\U-

SPENCER: I think it changes with the economy, things going on in the world.

Also the fact that the whole thing is growing because there are more contests.

Every playwriting class in the country is being told by the instructor, look around, find a contest and enter it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we get a lot of our entries, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure.

STEWART: I noticed this year there were more serious dramas. I think it is a direct result of the economy. In 2008 the theme was Iraq. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably got two comedies this year. And usually we try to look at a balance, but it depends on the submissions.

EVOb R] g]c V]^S b] OQQ][^ZWaV W\ O [W\cbS ^ZOg-

CHANDLER: For me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like going into eight different rooms in a museum, with eight different artists, eight different displays of how they interpret life. Or looking through eight windows. What I hope to accomplish is to give a slide of life or picture of the world that the audience might not enter, whether a Japanese internment camp or soldiers in a foxhole.

SPENCER: And because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compressed youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got almost a poetic feeling to it, because you have to economize in order to do that in 10 minutes. Some people are really good at it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that type of thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for, the person that can tell that story in that space of time and create interest that carries through. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising how quickly an audience can be lost if at the beginning of the thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not a clue.â&#x20AC;?

STEWART: Wilma said it very succinctly.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving a slice of live, a portal. And in that you challenge the spectrum of human emotion every time. For me as director, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only interested in comedy

or absurdist theater or dramas if it speaks to me emotionally. And then seeing the whole flow, the piece together and how it moves you through human emotion. You never know till you put it together during tech week. Last year I directed a comedic piece about a drunken Santa whose wife had left him, and Rudolph was his enabler.

And this year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m directing a piece about addiction in upstate New York today. . . .

SPENCER: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that attracts directors. They can come in and handle this little problem. Next year maybe it will be something totally different.

CHANDLER: I think the unsung heroes of this are the technical crew, the people who make the shifts. We used to have just rehearsals of those people by themselves, almost like ballet rehearsal. Every movement was crystallized, honed down, made absolutely flawless. No set change took more than one minute.

SPENCER: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get that to 30 seconds.

CHANDLER: But the theater loves watching that. Because when done well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beautiful.

BARR: Half the audience in the survey said they wish they were faster, the other half wished it was more artistic.

6]e R] g]c RSQWRS bVS ]`RS` ]T bVS ^ZOga-

SPENCER: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to create a build in each act, a beginning place for audience that is a comfort type of thing and build to some sort of higher level at end of that act and then take a similar approach in the second act. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always possible, because other things come into it. If you have actors doing more than one play, you try to keep them out of same act CHANDLER: If you have a child in a play you try to get that into the first act or the opening show so they can go home. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important how you end: what is last play? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a raging debate about that for eternity. Leave on a joyful note or given them a dramatic punch ?

SPENCER: Or the one with the adult words so they can leave.

STEWART: The C-words and the F-words!

3< /D/<B 5/@23 Left to right, musicians Remy LeBoeuf, Sayaka Yabuki, Noah Meites, Lori Rivera and Stan Poplin prepare to jam together Friday night.

Notes From the Underground New Music Works shines a light on a cadre of bold new composers 0G B@/17 6C97::

H

ere in his hometown, 23year-old sax player Remy Le Boeuf is best known as one-half of the formidable jazz duo formed with his twin brother, pianist Pascal. That work has been hailed

by The New York Times as reaching for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the gleaming cosmopolitanism of our present era.â&#x20AC;? But during his jazz studies at the Manhattan School of Music, Remy had a little side thing with classical composition.

This Friday, his piece The Third Elegy, a contemplative, Eastward-looking number for cello, violin, bass clarinet and vibraphone, receives its world premiere as part of the New Music Works concert Night of the Emerging Composers.

All four of the composers on the program live, study or were reared in Santa Cruz, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about all they have in common. Their pieces range from the austerity of Le Boeuf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to the ornate and sometimes jarring sensibility of UCSC music doctoral candidate Noah Meites to the blossoming repetition of Sayaka Yabukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water and Wine, which incorporates electronic media and live looping artist Jack Schultz. Local bassist Stan Poplin, who joined the UCSC faculty in 2002 and counts appearances with Yo-Yo Ma, Dave Brubeck and Muddy Waters on his rĂŠsumĂŠ, has written a new piece about â&#x20AC;&#x153;romantic love gone sidewaysâ&#x20AC;?

that incorporates jazz and spoken word.

Detour will feature versatile mezzosoprano Lori Rivera, percussionist Jim Kassis and Will McIntyre on vibraphone.

Local New Music nerds will be especially gratified to catch a live performance of Meitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bioskop, which earned him a prestigious BMI Student Composer Award last May. The piece for chamber ensemble, inspired by the films of late-19th-century German filmmaker Max Skladanowsky, swirls with innovation and obsession. The BMI is something of an indicator award; 11 Pulitzer Prizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; winning composers received their first recognition in the form of a Student Composer plaque.

Finally, in a nod to Santa Cruz musical culture, the four composers and musical guests will climb the stage to cap the evening with a big fat jam session. Because why stop with mind-blowing sheet music when adventures in the musical unknown lie just a few seconds ahead?

NIGHT OF THE EMERGING COMPOSERS is Friday, Jan. 15, at 7:30pm, UCSC Music Center Recital Hall, Santa Cruz. Tickets are $23.50 general/$17.50 senior/$12.50 student, available at www.SantaCruzTickets .com or at 831.459.2159.

Writing in the Boston Globe, critic Richard Buell observed this of her performance: â&#x20AC;&#x153;[O]ne heard a hush come over the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the kind of hush that always comes with the awareness that something urgent and precious and true is being said.â&#x20AC;?

0=@A16B E63:> L.A.-BASED comic Moshe Kasher may be young, or maybe not, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old enough to know what audiences like. And apparently they like skinny, nervous guys in horn-rimmed glasses and Gitler haircuts (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;gayâ&#x20AC;? plus â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hitlerâ&#x20AC;?) who will say pretty much anything onstage. Now a Comedy Central veteran and one of Heeb magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 100 Jews to watch this year, Kasher is joined by UCSC grad Mary Van Note, San Francisco comic Janine Brito and upstart MC Joey Devine at Comikaze, the new comedy series launched by Santa Cruz jack of all trades DNA. (Traci Hukill)

COMIKAZE is Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 8pm at Vets Hall, 805 Front St, Santa Cruz.

Tickets are $10 advance/$12 door at www.brownpapertickets.com.

HIS ONE goes out to the lighthouse keeper in the Pitcairn Islands who never saw it before. We, however, saw it a dozen times last year, just never a version apparently produced by the Gideon Society.

In the Hughes brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Book of Eli, Denzel Washington plays the warrior of the wastelands, â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 years after the Big Flash.â&#x20AC;? He is Eli, armed with a makeshift yet just sword and a significant book. After slicing and dicing a group of roadside thugs, Eli enters a hellish Western town.

There, he trades a few words with the postapocalyptic junk-shop proprietor (Tom Waits, in a set which we, his many fans, would love to think is exactly like the inside of Waitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; garage).

Wanting nothing more than a quick refreshmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just like a centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of peaceful cinematic cowpokes before himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eli enters a saloon run by boss Carnegie (Gary Oldman looking like Robert Evans). Carnegieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is to find a certain book that will give him the words to rule the wasteland.

And the book ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t The Fountainhead.

The Hugheses try to make The Book of Eli nondenominational by having Eli treat his Bible the way a fundamentalist Muslim treats the Koran, swaddling and kissing it; our hero is also seen wearing a Palestinian scarf. The movie suggests that we could be as people-of-the-book pious as Christianityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main competitors, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a nuclear holocaust to teach us all. Eli easily makes lost girl Solara (Mila Kunis) his Magdalene by teaching her how to say grace over her post-atomic dinner; later he reads her Psalm 23. If only Eli had gone on to the reams of â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Habakkuk

/:/A >==@ 23<H3: Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest postapocalyptic fable finds Denzel Washington fighting for the last known Bible in a modern dustbowl.

begat Hezekiahâ&#x20AC;? that give the Bible its uniquely bullet-stopping qualities.

The Bible-hunt premise doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any more thrill than the pre-title sequence, in which Denzel draws a bead on a Mr. Bigglesworthâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style cat with bow and arrow. Any pathos in the kill is blown by the CGI freeze frame of the arrow in f light, so we can admire its awesome deadliness.

Scriptwriter Gary Whitta, as in the IMDb sentence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gary Whitta was editor of PC Gamer for several years,â&#x20AC;? brings nothing new to this death-ofcivilization miasma. And the good old things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honored much either.

The exception is a scene with two superior actors, Michael Gambon and Frances de la Tour, as a deranged old pair of survivors with a cracked if intact tea set and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last Anita Ward LP. In the end, the very arbitrariness of what survives (sunglasses, highpowered ammo, Hummers, lingerie, cicadas, the Transamerica Pyramid) over what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (common sense, humansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unique ability to invent and

band together) is another reason why it may be time to bury this genre.

The Book of Eli has more sense than The Road when it insists that people who live on a diet of people would start to look rather ill. I loved Mad Max once, but after yet another ocher-dyed load of scrapings from Tarkovskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead skull, postapocalyptic adventures are rapidly becoming my least favorite genre, more than even stock-car racing movies and rape-revenge thrillers. Is it possible that someone could use the background for something else: a romantic comedy, an ensemble piece, perhaps a musical? (Has anyone done Macbeth yet in a wasteland staging?)

THE BOOK OF ELI (R; 118 min.), directed by Albert and Allen Hughes, written by Gary Whitta, photographed by Don Burgess and starring Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, opens Friday countywide.

Closet Drama Colin Firth plays an unopenly gay man in early 1960s Los Angeles in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Single Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

A

HANDY WINNER of the award for Most Improved Performer of 2009 is Colin Firth, whose performance in A Single Man is a model of frosty yet sensitive acting. The film debut by director Tom Ford is beautiful, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of beauty that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to feel anything about. Ford is working from Christopher Isherwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, essential reading in the gay canon. But the designer-turned-director films as if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adapting a classic; the material doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any room to take on a life of its own.

Firth plays professor George Falconer, an Englishman in Los Angeles in the early 1960s, when the Brits were still a novelty in that city. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bereaved figure; being in the closet, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permitted to show his sorrow after the death of his longtime male lover in an automobile accident. (In flashbacks, we see the lover, played by Matthew Goode.) This single manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret is known only to his friend Charlotte, called Charley (Julianne Moore), also a former flame, who has never quite gotten over George.

Falconer keeps another secret, though; he is putting his affairs in order, with the plan of committing suicide that night. During the course of one long day, people reach out to him, offering themselves. These include Charley, who has a standing date with George for cocktails; Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), a handsome, persistent college student in a white-pink cashmere sweater.

George also encounters a stranger, a Spanish actor (or perhaps rent-a-Romeo) named Carlos (Jon Kortajarena). Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nostalgia factor is strongest in the passages in which Kenny tries to push

>7::=E >/:A Julianne Moore comforts Colin Firth in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Single Man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

his way through Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistance.

This uncertain romance is classic movie stuff: attraction plus resistanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and an element of danger.

Certainly, Firth looks like a man of the era in question. This George resembles George Reeves, the actor who played Superman on 1950s television. Firth has just that kind of attractive remoteness.

This English control is contrasted with the riotous French-provincial-on-mescaline dĂŠcor of Charleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, inhabited

by Moore in hopped hair and tripledecker earrings; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a woman living on Tanqueray and gold-filtered pink Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cigarettes. Moore practically mainlined her eye shadow to get that zonked 1960s look. Charley re-creates one of those dance sequences that were popular in art movies of the 1960s: those moments where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to be sure if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching a well-off white woman twisting and shouting, or if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be watching a metaphor for the breakdown of society.

The sight of Moore reminds us of

the great suspense of those passages in The Hours, dealing with her characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imminent suicide. Despite the opera on A Single Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soundtrack, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be less operatic: nothing seems like a matter of life and death. Ford is good with the placement of actors on a set; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tableau-maker. The art direction is all in order, but the classic-movie looks of the film just add to the air of beautifully appointed early 1960s soap opera. The fine clothes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the men.

A SINGLE MAN (R; 89 min.), directed by Tom Ford, written by Ford and David Scearce, based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, photographed by Eduard Grau and starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, opens Friday at the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz.

born in the last 20 years are probably looking at the poster for this movie and saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoa, they made a movie out of Mike Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all verklemptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ladyâ&#x20AC;??

But no, this Sydney Pollack comedy is from a simpler time, when the thought of a man understanding a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cr-raz-y problems seemed to require him to become one, and Hollywood had barely discovered that for some reason people really, really like movies about crossdressing.

Thankfully, men now are generally supposed to grasp the points in Dustin Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;macho shit headâ&#x20AC;? speech without having

Jake (Sam Worthington) is the paraplegic brother of a dead soldier hooked up to a Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi shell; the program is under the direction of a chain-smoking biologist (Sigourney Weaver). The politics

play it both ways; letting us swoon over the military hardware and still lament for the plundered forests. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see it, see it in 3-D. (RvB) B63 0:7<2 A723 (PG-

(R; 135 min.) A sleek, twisty mystery, illuminated by the stunning PenĂŠlope Cruz, the new Pedro AlmodĂłvar is also a sprawler. The James M. Cainâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style plot involves a blind film director from Madrid (LuĂ­s Homar).

After losing his sight, the filmmaker took the ballsy new name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Caineâ&#x20AC;? and became a writer. News of the death of a corrupt tycoon sends Caine back to confront unfinished businessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to retrieve the moment 16 years previously where he lost both love and sight. The dead tycoon in question, a cuckolded millionaire named Ernesto Martel (JosĂŠ Luis GĂłmez), unwillingly shared the love of Caineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Lena, known as Magdalena, was an actress, secretary and part-time prostitute who took as her working-girl name Severine. She, of course, is played by Cruz.

4/<B/AB71 ;@ 4=F (PG; 87 min.) In

switching gears entirely from live action to stop-action animation, director Wes Anderson has created his most consistently enjoyable film. Based on a Roald Dahl childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a fairy tale, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a realistic, slightly bleak one. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) is living a straight life with his wife (Meryl Streep). A midlife crisis rouses the beast; he decides to turn hunter once again. Retaliation comes fast and hard: the Fox is robbed of his tail by a shotgun blast.

In the war that follows, Fox and his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, soon, all the creatures in the woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;become refugees. (RvB)

Gilliam, Don Quixote is still the ur-text. Despite the various stops and starts he has had adapting the Cervantes classic, Gilliam repeatedly makes films about fantasy as an escape from a cruel world. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a very personal and not-so-coherent fantasy, has Christopher Plummer in the Man of la Mancha role this time, with Verne Troyer as Percy, a dwarf Sancho Panza. Plummer plays Doctor Parnassus, an immortal sage reduced to busking in a horse-drawn Gypsy wagon. He and his crew set up their stand in the streets of modernday London at its vilest, trying to lure patrons in to a world beyond the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mirror. On board is his daughter, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that she has been promised to the devil on her 16th birthday; Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) is sniffing around already. During their travels, the group rescues a hanged man named Tony (an irresolute Heath Ledger). Certainly, Gilliamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for antique theater is trueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although the greasepaint and cardboard make one wonder why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stage this story instead of filming it. The autobiographical angle is plain regarding the showmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartbreakâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; begging for money and coaxing an audience. We can understand why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for Gilliam when we see his vision of what the audience really is: rich matinee dames; wide-mouthed tarts coming out of a pub; a scurvy, violent little brat with a Game Boy.

min.) Based on John Carlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Playing the Enemy, Clint Eastwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film tells of South African president Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) exhorting the South African Springboks to greatness in the Rugby world cup as a public-relations move to heal the racial divisions. Team captain Francois Pienaar is not much of a role, but Matt Damon makes it a model of recessive, intelligent B63 7;/57</@7C; =4 interpretation. (RvB) 2=1B=@ >/@</AACA

(R; 117 min.) For Terry

(R; 118 min.) In Santa

Barbara, Jane, a successful restaurateur (Meryl Streep) hooks up with her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin), despite the fact that Jake is married to a younger woman. Meanwhile, a shy, sad-sack of an architect, Adam (Steve Martin) also shows some interest in her.

Classic-era romcom bones are visible under the expensive skin of Nancy Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest.

Commentators note the too-rich staging in Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; films because often there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough going on in the foreground. Meyers (Somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gotta Give, What Women Want) puts forth the solidly practical, American view of what the kids will think of this affairâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even though the kids are grown up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange to see Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like when an older woman gets romantic: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reversion to girlhood with loads of consumption of chocolate. Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good points are her ability to cook, her ability to cultivate very expensive real estate, but these donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve what most of us men really like in women past 40â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the wisdom, the lack of coquetry. Baldwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to drop his pants for a laugh tends to eclipse the romanticism. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the pants that get dropped; the film ends with an audible thud. (RvB

As Guidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistress, PenĂŠlope Cruz is edible (if slightly self-conscious) sliding down a satin banister. Nicole Kidman is the pedestal girl, inserted into a strapless evening gown that makes her look like a single arrow in a quiver.

Kate Hudson is the Yank journalist who only pays attention to the surfaces of Italian film. What we see in Nine is not an artist in peril of his soul; what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really seeing in these musical fantasies is essentially the problems of a creatively blocked choreographer.

<7<3 (PG-13; 117 min.)

(PG-13; 128 min.) There are moments during Sherlock Holmes when you wish you could hit director Guy Ritchie with his own storyboard; there are bone-crushing fights that you feel like applauding for just to celebrate the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over at last. Yet all in all, Sherlock Holmes is ripping fun. Robert Downey Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert acting reflects Aldous Huxleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought that if you could open the doors of perception, you would see the world as it is: infinite.

This insight sums up the mind of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it also sums up the mind of a schizophrenic.

Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holmes is a dandy in high Victorian

Federico Felliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8 1/2 (1963) is boiled down to a musical series of celebs in pushup bras.

An Italian film director, Guido (Daniel DayLewis), has announced an ambitious new film project. But Guido has no idea what the film is going to be, and the time to start shooting is coming up. Director Rob Marshall (Chicago) has calmed the camerawork downâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously been an addict of fast cutting to make a group of mostly nonsingers and nondancers to look like lightfooted showstoppers. But only Marion Cotillard, as Guidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much-spurned wife, delivers a number that leaves an aftereffect.

min.) Much lauded, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bulldozer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1987, during some of Harlemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most suffering years. A girl of immense girth, 16-year-old Claireece (Gabourey â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabbyâ&#x20AC;?

Sidibe) makes her way through life. She has intelligence, but she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus, and we learn why in flashback; she was serially raped by her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend. Her scathing, angry mother, Mary (Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nique), blames Precious for this and her resulting pregnancy), urging her to stop this foolishness about school and go on welfare. Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nique is great, but Precious has a judgmental streak that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been essential to a success worthy of its sensationalism.

regalia, smoked glasses, ascots and the kind of slanted hats worn in Oscar Wildeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle. But we also see another side of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a hermit crab in a dank flat, huddled under a silk dressing gown so raveled it looks shaggy as a bear skin. The movie keeps coming back to a serene partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when Holmes says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afoot,â&#x20AC;? Jude Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formidable Watson picks up the rest of the Henry V quote. (RvB) C> 7< B63 /7@ (R; 109

min.) As the predatory Ryan Bingham, George Clooney delivers a startlingly good performance. Sadly, the film is compromised by director Jason Reitman, who shows signs of morphing into Cameron Crowe. Bingham is a hired terminatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a man brought in to fire people; he tolerates this job with benefits of an executive life with plenty of travel. Enter a young, seemingly equally callous rival (Anna Kendrick). Having this inexperienced girl along interrupts Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regularly scheduled no-strings flings with a fellow constant business traveler, Alex (Vera Farmiga). The acrid first half is the best partâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Clooney

makes us admire Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gamesmanship. The film wants us to equate two different kinds of toxicitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to draw a line between the corporate bloodletting that juices up stock portfolios and the wrongness of the present-tense sex life that Ryan and Alex enjoy.

Too bad that Farmiga and Clooney are such a scintillating pair that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see them pay the piper. (RvB) E63@3 B63 E7:2 B67<5A /@3 (PG;

101 min.) The beast suitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;part costumes, part CGIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are accurate versions of the Sendak illustrations. Max Records seems just right as Max, the little boy whose father is out of the picture, who flees to a monster island.

The feature film gives children due respect for their towering moods. But childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods change, and this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially gloomy, like a collection of Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines.

The film is staged in an Australian forest, the domain of seven or eight depressed creatures (Lauren Ambrose, James Gandolfini and Catherine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, among others). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cautious and fretful;

they form cliques and snipe at each other. The rumpusing beastliness always ends with some injury, as per Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Scriptwriter Dave Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work is typically formless, cute and drifty.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cult item for agingchildren hipster types, the ones who would wear their terrycloth wolf-suits to work if they could. (RvB) B63 G=C<5 D71B=@7/ (PG; 104

min.) Unforgivably static, despite the fascinating subject: the early and often unpopular years of the longest-reigning and most iron-bottomed British royal who ever lived. As Victoria, the lovely and suitably aristocratic Emily Blunt is the best part of this story. Treated with brutal overcaution and surveillance by her mother, the Duchess of Kent (Miranda Richardson), and her friend (perhaps with benefits) Lord Conroy, the girl is kept locked up and escorted down all stairs as if she were a brittle-boned child.

When she grows older, her cousin Albert

(Rupert Friend) comes to court, and this starts a romance, tainted with scheming by the power in Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, the perfidious Belgian king (Thomas Kretschmann).

Director Jean-Marc ValĂŠe slows things down and smooths over the complexities of history; matters get simplified to the point where it seems like nothing is going on in the world outside the problem of Victoria trying to get some time alone with Albert. The sketchy background and the slow pace bring on the familiar PBSwatcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narcosis. (RvB) G=CB6 7< @3D=:B

(PG; 112 min.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, youth are revolting! And particularly revolting is Michael Cera, who has in a few short years become the most irritating actor of his generation. Here he tries to stammer his way out of the box heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acted himself into by playing not only his typical socially awkward, syrupy sweet virgindweeb, but also that characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fight Clubby alter ego. Fans of C.D. Payneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Twisp novels will know what this is all about, others will have to decide if they can stand a doublehelping of the C-Man, even in a black comedy.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of January 13 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): The Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north magnetic pole is not the same as the geographic North Pole. If you take out a compass to orient yourself toward due north, the compass arrow will actually point toward a spot in the frigid wilds of Canada. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really odd is that the north magnetic pole has been on the move since 1904â&#x20AC;&#x201D;scientists donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly whyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and has dramatically sped up in recent years. According to National Geographic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now zooming toward Siberia at the rate of almost 40 miles per year. I suspect that your own metaphorical version of magnetic north will also be changing in 2010, Aries.

By January 2011, the homing signal you depend on to locate your place in reality may have migrated significantly. This is a good time to start tracking the shift.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous,â&#x20AC;? wrote W. Somerset Maugham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind.â&#x20AC;?

I think the trajectory of your journey during the last 12 months tends to confirm his theory, Taurus.

According to my analysis, you set new benchmarks for your personal best in 2009, while at the same time becoming a wiser, riper human being. Congrats!

Now get out there and capitalize on the grace youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned. Be as organized as possible as you share the fruits of your progress.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): The Onion, which describes itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest News Source,â&#x20AC;? ran a feature on the inventor Thomas Edison. He â&#x20AC;&#x153;changed the face of modern life in 1879,â&#x20AC;? said the report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when he devised the groundbreaking new process of taking ideas pioneered by other scientists and marketing them as his own.â&#x20AC;? The tone was mocking, of course, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m perfectly sincere when I urge you to imitate Edison in the coming weeks.

Given the current astrological omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wise to take advantage of the breakthroughs of others and make good use of resources created by others. Just be sure that you give credit where credit is due, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually be doing everyone a service.

and maybe even eager to share secrets with you.

Can you marshal just the right amount of selfprotectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not too much, not too littleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to trust a little more and go deeper? As for Virgo: That under-self-confident person would really benefit from getting more appreciation from you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stingy. Meanwhile, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suffering from a misunderstanding about an Aquarius. It will be in your selfish interest to clear it up. A few more tips: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up on Pisces. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to come when the coast is clearer. Browse but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy yet with a Leo. And make business, but not love or war, with a Capricorn.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): I like it best when the creek that runs near my home is wide and deep. It gets that way at high tide, when the moon shepherds in a surge of water from the bay. As I gaze out at the swollen cascade, I feel full and fertile; everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right with the world. Inevitably, though, the tide goes out and the f low turns meek and narrow. Then my mood is less likely to soar. A slight melancholy may creep in.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to love that state, tooâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to derive a quiet joy from surveying the muddy banks where the water once ran, the muck imprinted with tracks of egrets and ducks. Besides, I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before the tide shifts and the cascade returns.

Enjoy your own personal version of the low-tide phase, Leo. High tide will be coming back your way soon.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): If you asked me to make you a mixtape that would be conducive for making love to, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in the least surprised.

These long January nights are ideal times for you Virgos to be unleashing your dormant passion and sharing volcanic pleasure and exploring the frontier where delight overlaps with wonder. In the compilation of tunes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d create for you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably have stuff like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teardropâ&#x20AC;? by Massive Attack, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breathe Meâ&#x20AC;? by Sia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supermassive Black Holeâ&#x20AC;? by Muse and â&#x20AC;&#x153;6 Undergroundâ&#x20AC;? by the Sneaker Pimps. But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better idea for you to assemble your own soundtrack. Tell me about it if you do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at Truthrooster@gmail.com.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest waterfall is Angel Falls in Venezuela. It was named after Jimmie Angel, an American who was the first person to f ly a plane over it in 1933. Recently, Venezuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president suggested that this place should be officially renamed Kerepakupai Meru, which is what the indigenous Pemon Indians have always called it. The coming weeks happen to be a favorable time for you to consider making a comparable move, Libra: restoring a natural wonder to its original innocence; rehabilitating the truth about a beautiful resource; returning an old glory to its pristine state.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): In the first half of 2010, your calling will be calling to you more loudly and insistently than it has in years. It will whisper to you seductively while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re falling asleep. It will clang like a salvation bell during your midmorning breaks. It will soothe you with its serpentine tones and it will agitate you with its rippling commands to spring into action. How will you respond to these summonses from your supreme inner authority? This week will be a good test.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have it all,â&#x20AC;? says fashion designer Luella Bartley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just really hard work.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my oracle for you, Sagittariusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just for this week, but for the next three months as well. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the cosmos will indeed permit you to have your cake and eat it, too, as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to manage your life with more discipline, master the crucial little details everyone else neglects, and always give back at least as much as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re given.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): The number of bacteria per square inch on a toilet seat averages about 50. Meanwhile, your telephone harbors over 25,000 germs per square inch and the top of your desk has about 21,000. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like you to use this as a metaphor that you can apply more universally. According to my analysis, you see, you are overemphasizing the risks and problems in one particular area of your life and underestimating them elsewhere. Spend some time this week correcting the misdiagnoses.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): One of my readers, Judd, shared his vision of how to cope with the blahs of January. Given your astrological omens, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say his strategy perfectly embodies the approach you should take right now. Please study his testimony below, and come up with your own ingenious variation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the coldest of days, my friends and I celebrate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;scrufting,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the art of enjoying the great outdoors with indoor furniture, while listening to loud indie-rock and adorned in our grungiest slop-ware. Aided by Samuel Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oatmeal Stout, we curse and laugh at the constraints of winter by playing our favorite summer sports like Frisbee, hacky-sack and soccer.â&#x20AC;? >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation time.

Not in any officially recognized sense, maybe, but still: You have completed your study of a certain subject in the school of life. At a later date, maybe you will resume studying this subject on a higher level, but for now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve absorbed all you can. I suggest you give yourself a kind of final exam. (Be sure to grade it yourself.) You might also want to carry out a fun ritual to acknowledge the completion of this chapter of your story. It will free up your mind and heart to begin the next chapter.
