T

hanksgiving dinner is the ďŹ rst of many seasonal gatherings with family and friends that vary from casual drinks in the living room to haul-out-theextra-chairs seated feasts. Cooler weather brings us close together and there’s a feeling of largesse in the sorts of foods we serve: foods cooked long and slow, vegetables bold in color and deep in avor, spice combinations that would have felt out-of-place in spring or summer. When it comes to holiday menus we face a challenge to keep customs alive without boredom. Of course it would be unthinkable to suggest a substitute for family favorites. Each tribe has its sacrosanct dishes, from those green peas with pearl onions that go with roast turkey to a great-grandmother’s pie recipe. There is, however, room for change at different stages of a festive meal. Appetizers are the easiest avenues for departure: Try serving a smoked ďŹ sh pate with toasted baguette slices instead of a dip. Replace pedestrian chips and crackers with bread sticks or crisp atbreads to go with one or two California cheeses and an assortment of olives. The goal is to avoid over-complicated food before a rich dinner with some easily prepared simple, appealing offerings. Another easy way to enhance a familiar menu is through changes in side dishes. You don’t have to leave out the mashed potatoes everyone loves while you add something new to the mix. This can happen with the ďŹ rst course—beautiful soup—or during the main course when you bring out an extra dish, a surprise in texture or avor that will ďŹ t right into the spread. At Thanksgiving there’s no such thing as too many desserts. This is another place for introductions, especially those perfect

for the occasion. Instead of two pumpkin pies, offer one of pumpkin and another of vanilla-scented sweet potato. Persimmon pudding, a heritage sweet, is a memory of earlier times, or you might indulge in the current cupcake craze by making small carrot cake or pecan-studded ones with maple frosting, pure American tastes. A ďŹ nal suggestion: Many adults appreciate non-alcoholic drinks. Show your hospitality by going beyond sodas and plain waterâ€”ďŹ nd natural cider made in our own part of the country, or sparkling water that is not too sweet, heightened with fall fruit avors like pomegranate, cranberry, blackberry or citrus. Lastly, be sure to have take-home bags and boxes on hand for leftovers! The recipes that follow were chosen to create Thanksgiving dining from produce coming into the market here and now in Northern California. Each dish could be served throughout the holidays (straight through to New Year’s Eve!); they are a step into the new season, nice additions to any family’s repertoire. ------------------------Last weekend northern Sonoma hosted the 11th Wine Road excursion to wineries and vineyards of the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. The event’s name was changed to “A Wine and Food Affairâ€? and it’s also the title of a souvenir cookbook produced by chefs from lodgings and wineries throughout the region. This ďŹ rst recipe is for a vegetarian soup that is autumnal in hue, heated slightly with chipotle chile, just enough to provide a warm smokiness. (Canned chipotle en adobo can be found in the Hispanic sections at many grocers.) It’s from Harvest Moon Estate and Winery on Olivet Road near Santa Rosa.

Butternut Squash Soup with Chipotle Serves 4-6 as an entree Colorful squashes are all over our markets in glorious abundance. It would be best to serve half-portions of this soup at the beginning of the big meal, a few spoonfuls to pique the appetite.

1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped 1/4 pound unsalted butter 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 sprigs fresh thyme 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 quart water (approximately) 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate (frozen, thawed) 1 tablespoon of sauce from a can of chipotles en adobo (save the rest for later) Salt, white pepper

15 seconds. Season with salt and pepper to taste and turn out on a warm platter. ------------------------Here is a dessert for pastry-phobic cooks. It is homey and uses ingredients showing up for their turn in the market spotlight: new-crop nuts, dates, sturdy cooking apples. Another advantage: It can be baked ahead, covered and reheated (say, after the turkey is removed from the oven). It can be doubled easily. This is from David Lebovitz, chef/ author/blogger from California who lives in Paris. He suggests Sierra Beauty, Golden Delicious or Winesap varieties of the fruit. (A quarter-cup of apple juice may be substituted for rum, if desired.)

Baked Apples with Fresh Ginger, Dates, Almonds and Rum 4 servings 1/4 cup rum 1/4 cup apple juice 1/2 cup light brown sugar, ďŹ rmly packed 1-1/2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 2 teaspoons our 1 tablespoon heavy cream 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated 2 egg yolks Grated zest of half a lemon 1/2 cup whole almonds, toasted and chopped 8-10 dates, fresh or dried, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 4 large apples Extra melted butter for brushing apples

In a stockpot, combine the onion and butter, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent. Add the squash, thyme, cumin and just enough water to cover the squash. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until the squash falls off a fork when speared. Remove the sprigs of thyme. With the pot still on the heat, use a submersible blender to blend the soup until it’s smooth. Keep the soup at a simmer and add Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. the orange juice concentrate, chipotle sauce Butter a 9-inch baking dish. Add the and the salt and white pepper.

Larkspur, your East Coast answer to the Thanksgiving blues...

Thank you for dining locally. Your patronage makes a major difference to our fine Marin restaurants.

GIVING THANKS, WITH OR WITHOUT TURKEY Thanksgiving reservation lists fill quickly most years, but there’s reason to believe that last-minute plans are possible this time around. I won’t offer a comprehensive roster of Marin restaurants and menus since everyone has a favorite style of feasting. Instead, I will suggest a few that could answer diners’ different moods with ways to match them—all in one town. I chose Larkspur because it has an almost-East Coast feel to it (a quality I yearn for around Thanksgiving) and several places there where very different meals will be available. The Tavern at Lark Creek is offering a $59.95 feast that will include turkey and sophisticated side dishes but also appealing protein choices for those who wish to stray from the traditional: roasted natural Hampshire pork chop, short ribs or sauteed fish with first courses like baked oysters and Louisiana boudin blanc (415/924-7766)...Only half-a-block away is Yankee Pier, where on a New Englandstyle menu a whole lobster might replace turkey for those who crave a break from the expected. The dinner is $39, including items like squash soup, glazed carrots with turnips and cornbread (415/924-7676)...At Left Bank Brasserie there will be a spread of all-American Thanksgiving specials for $39.75 with separate menus for children and vegetarians. People desiring a more casual celebration can head for the bar where food from the dining room menu as well as regular a la carte favorites will be available all day long (415/927-3331)...A suggestion to enhance the autumn mood: If it’s feasible to time things just right, combine a Thanksgiving feed in Larkspur with a stroll in nearby Ross Commons or the Marin Art and Garden Center. TASTY READING While bookstores are closing all around, Book Passage manages to sail along, continuing its popular events that reach out to the food community: luxurious meals honoring food writers or chefs, free appearances in the store by others. There’s a holiday feel to the line-up scheduled for the next several weeks by the Corte Madera establishment, so mark your calendars now. Insalata’s Mediterranean Table, Heidi Krahling’s cookbook inspired by her San Anselmo restaurant, was released early this month. A Book Passage-sponsored celebration of its publication in the place where the recipes were born will take place Dec. 2 at noon. Foods straight from the original kitchen will star on the luncheon menu. Cost is $100 per person, which includes the meal, wines, tax, gratuities and a signed copy of the cookbook...And speaking of stars: Thomas

If Downtown Larkspur is Marin’s answer to the Atlantic Seaboard, does that make Magnolia Avenue our I-95 corridor?

Keller, chef extraordinaire, will drop by Book Passage on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 3 to 5pm to talk about his latest work, Ad Hoc at Home. Unlike former works from the creator of The French Laundry and Per Se (America’s most vaunted restaurants), this cookbook is aimed at ordinary cooks with recipes used in his more casual Napa dining destination, Ad Hoc...More modest ambitions are met in the combined efforts of two mothers in Cooking Dinner: Simple Italian Family Recipes Everyone Can Make, by Rima Barkett and Claudia Pruett. They will be at the bookshop Dec. 6 at 4pm to discuss their easy-to-follow approach to everyday meals with Italian flavors...Georgeanne Brennan is an award-winning cookbook writer who will arrive just in time to inspire holiday party-planning when she comes to Left Bank in Larkspur to introduce Gather: Memorable Menus for Entertaining Throughout the Seasons. The Dec. 6 dinner (6pm) is $100 per person/$165 per couple; this covers the meal, wines, tax, gratuities and one signed copy of the book...Reservations and information: 415/927-0960 or visit www.bookpassage.com.

ing on. It ends with Helen giving in and folding her napkin, taking the first step in her long and fruitful life. The cast is intergenerational, and the young, middle-age and older actors keep the play grounded in its time, 1880, and place, an upper-class Alabama household. Michael Cook’s set serves the family well, from Annie’s upstairs bedroom to the embattled dining room, to the garden where the drama resolves to the audience’s audible relief and satisfaction.

The Keller elite RVP finds its voice with ‘Miracle Worker’... by Le e Brad y

A

ny time would be a good time for The Miracle Worker, but these wintry evenings when audiences are looking for heart-warmers seems a very good time. Audiences will not be disappointed, even though most know the end of the story. Director Linda Dunn and her large cast of well-chosen actors build the drama to an emotional peak as playwright William Gibson’s real-life character, dedicated teacher Annie Sullivan (Megan Pryor Lorentz), fights to give her young blind, deaf and mostly mute charge, Helen Keller (Sierra Stephens), a way to break through to life. The battle involves all of the Keller family.

Mother Kate (Lauren Doucette), out of love and pity, allows her child to run wild, but Helen’s half-brother James (Brook Robinson) resents the chaos her animal-like behavior creates. James, a weakling with a smart mouth, already has enough problems with Captain Keller (Tom Reilly). Their father-son battles parallel those of Helen and Annie. Reilly dominates the stage as well as his family. His character’s mistrust of Annie, along with his patriarchal power, holds the outcome in doubt. Stephens keeps her Helen Keller locked down. Her physical fights with Lorentz take on a sweaty reality, especially as the battle rages under the dining table with a horrified family look-

ominican University’s Fringe of Marin, showcasing a wide variety of short plays, has been ongoing for 24 seasons (in the fall and again in the spring)—and director Annette Lust and her crew keep coming up with the new and unusual. The six playwrights in program one (there is a program two as well) make for a varied and entertaining evening. Susan Jackson unlocks the anger that caregivers don’t always show; Steve North does a show-don’t-tell playwriting seminar; John Robinson reveals the true nature of art criticism; Ruth Kirshner makes waiting for a bus a communal and funny experience; and Linda-Ayres Frederick’s Latina googling is both touching and edgy. The final work, Naomi Newman’s look at the tragedy of the end of life, ends up a satisfying farce. The Marin Fringe is both a classroom and a playhouse for writers/actors and audiences, and the more it is supported by all of these, the better it becomes. <

›› SPiN OF THE WEEK Blood from Stars (Anti) Joe Henry As a solo artist and, more recently, a much sought-after producer, this North Carolinian has shown a knack for weaving Southern Gothic tales with country, regional jazz (New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louis) and chamber folk to create a spellbinding concoction fraught with a sense of dread. Such songs as “The Man I Keep Hid” and “Channel” bespeak disarray and an inability to lead a contented life. These are bleak songs, draped in dark sonic raiment, the bass booming and at times as muddy as the weary blues that inform these characters. The gravity, and dark beauty, of the music is reminiscent of T-Bone Burnett’s recent solo work. It’s not everyone’s mint julep, but it surely is a stark personal vision.

Caged heat Nicolas Cage nasty as he wants to be in ‘Bad Lieutenant’ by Re nat a Po l t

“B

ad” doesn’t even begin to describe the behavior of New Orleans Police Lieutenant Terence McDonagh (Nicholas Cage), protagonist of Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Snorting coke is just the beginning; stealing drugs from suspects, from the police department’s property room and from wherever else he can score it, comes next. How about soliciting bribes (money, dope, sex) from suspects? Terrorizing an old lady by pulling the oxygen leads out of her nose? The film’s title, but not much else, is similar to that of a 1992 cult classic by Abel Ferrara; the rest is pure Herzog—dark (both literally and figuratively), a bit surreal. Alligators and iguanas, either real or imaged, figure in the action. The title’s post-Katrina New Orleans is a city where the sun never shines; its blueblack tones (shot by Peter Zeitlinger, who also filmed Nicolas Cage’s damaged character lives from hand to mouth in Herzog’s Grizzly Man and Encounters at the End of the ‘Port of Call.’ World) don’t jibe with our stereotype of a jazzy, joyous ers beat her up or otherwise harass her.

FROM THE WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER COMES

The abstract-minded professor

THE MOTION PICTURE EVENT O F THE YEAR

Editing great Walter Murch splices philosophical at Rafael Film Center by M al Karm an ROBERT VENTE

P

rofessor Walter Murch has his class mesmerized with a talk about those he deems “The Three Fathers of Cinema.” And while the professor really isn’t a professor and the class really isn’t a class, it seems that way. Because with his eloquent baritone, Murch—the same fellow who has won three Academy Awards for work as both a picture and sound editor (one for Apocalypse Now and an unprecedented two for The English Patient)—is more professorial than any professor most of us have ever encountered. If we guess Fritz Lang, Carl Dreyer or Josef von Sternberg as the trio of cinematic dads, we’re not even close. At what was billed a lecture at the Rafael Film Center last Saturday evening (and the highlight of a four-day tribute), Murch proceeded to make a case for Beethoven, Flaubert and Edison as the sires of motion pictures. Now the professor throws visual pictures of waveforms on the screen to demonstrate how the 18th-century music of a composer like Joseph Haydn is essentially rooted in architecture with a high degree of form and duplication, whereas Beethoven masters the power of the grand statement. “He would have none of Haydn’s structure of the 1700s,” Murch says. “He absorbs nature, shrinking everything down to an insect, then erupting in a grand explosion, all within one movement.” According to a French music critic of the early 1800s, “[Beethoven] puts doves and crocodiles together in the same cage.” In other words, he introduces us—with his music—to dynamics, and to dramatic unpredictability. Along with wearing the mantle of professor, Murch is as much a philosopher-artist as he is archetypical sound and picture editor. His mind never stops probing ideas, concepts, the fore and aft of our existence. He has been quoted as saying, “Life is one big pre-lap...” He raises bees and markets honey from his home in Bolinas, coined the term “sound designer,” wrote a book on the philosophy of editing (In the Blink of an Eye), restored Touch of Evil according to Orson Welles’ notes, and proved one could edit a major motion picture like Cold Mountain with Apple’s homegrown software. But it’s the philosopher side of him that, on this night, has everyone convinced the fathers of cinema are not who we might suppose they are. I mean, Gustave Flaubert?? But by the mid-19th century, the French novelist had unsettled the status quo by bringing forth the idea of creatively crafting his stories to reflect the reality he saw each day. “The notion of doing that was counterintuitive then,” Murch says. “But Flaubert [in the writing of Madame Bovary] would triumphantly announce to the world that he wrote four pages today and nothing happened.” That may have floated Father Flaubert’s boat, but hand in a screenplay like that today and kiss your writing career au revoir. Following a trial for its obscenity, Madame Bovary became a monster hit as photography was becoming more of an everyday reality. Paintings too, especially Manet’s “Olympia”—according to Murch—shook people up because the courtesan in this 1863 work

Sound wizard Walter Murch has won Oscars for ‘Apocalypse Now’ and ‘The English Patient.’

is staring directly out at the viewer. (To be consistent with my roots as any teacher’s No. 1 pain-in-theass-in-class, I would argue with Prof. Murch that the French salon was already doing this stark realism in 1850, evident in one of Gustave Courbet’s most important paintings, “A Burial at Ornans.” That canvas, pre-dating Madame Bovary and in a purely visual medium, became the first broad stroke of the realist style—at least according to this pain-in-the-ass.) In 1889, Edison colleague William Kennedy Dickson, working from Edison’s concept, invented the kinetoscope in which silent movies were viewed through a peephole. Dickson also invented the first practical celluloid film for this application and selected 35mm as an appropriate size. Not bad for a non-father of cinema. Never one to shy from a challenge, Murch was sent a transcription of an 1889 wax cylinder recording of violin music by Dickson, along with 17 seconds of film shot at the same time, and asked to synch it up. Not so easy. The recording, which included voices behind the violin music, was made at an estimated 120 rpms while the film was shot at 46 frames per second. Murch digitized both sound and image, compressed and expanded the sound accordingly, and found synch points through trial and error. “Edison wasn’t able to do it,” Murch says, and, after showing it to us, theorized he was the first person to ever see this 17 seconds with the accompanying sound in synch. (The rest of us were Nos. 2 through 385.) “This is the only recording from the 19th century that I know of with people speaking conversationally, without any sort of preparation.” “Things can be invented and fall on sterile ground,” Murch says, “if the culture won’t allow it to be what it wants to be. We will be looked back on and people will wonder, ‘Why didn’t they understand that X could be done; why were they so connected to their perversity?’ “There is no reason you won’t be able to see film in 20 years, but it will be like riding a 1935 Harley Davidson. There is a lot that is still to happen in the world of digital image and sound, whereas film maybe has one more drop in it.” <

It’s hard not to be inspired by Bill Nighy.

Long live rock ‘Pirate Radio’ proves music is worth walking the plank for... by Dav i d Te mpleton

Writer David Templeton takes interesting people to interesting movies in his ongoing quest for the ultimate post-film conversation. This is not a review; rather, it’s a freewheeling, tangential discussion of life, alternative ideas and popular culture.

Boys’ “Wouldn’t it Be Nice,” with plenty of obscure stuff from way back on the record shelf—“Judy in Disguise (with Glasses)” by John Fred and His Playboy Band, “Yesterday Man” by Chris Andrews, “I’ve Been a Bad, Bad Boy” by Paul Jones and “98.6” by the Bystanders. s the credits to Pirate Radio roll cli“It was like living through 1966 all mactically up the screen and soul over again,” says Grabien (who, for singer Loraine Ellison sings majesti- the record, was 13 in 1966), pushing cally through the 1966 through the “exit” classic “Stay With Me door and pausing in (Baby),” author Debofront of the Pirate Rarah Grabien closes her dio poster displayed on eyes, bobs her head to the wall. “There was the music and exclaims, only one really bad “I’ll say one thing about anachronism in the this movie!

But it’s just “One of the Radio Caroline boats was Bill Nighy himself that inspires me. He’s actually sunk, but I think that wasn’t until just a delight to watch, and as bad as I feel the 1980s,” Grabien remarks. “But I do some days, with this stupid MS, I wasn’t believe that the crew was saved by fans about to let anything stop me from comwho came out in boats to pull them from the water, just like in the movie.” That ship, for those taking notes, was the M.V. Mi Amigo, a radio boat that sank during a storm in 1980. The details can be found on Radio Caroline’s Internetstreaming Web site. Yes, the station that inspired Radio Rock is still on the air— though not on the water at the moment. It broadcasts from a land-based studio in England, where rock radio was legalized long ago. “In the movie,” says Grabien, “Philip Seymour Hoffman says that rock is worth dying for, which makes me wonder which musicians I’d take a bullet for. Elton John, probably not. The Rolling Stones, I think I might die for happily. But the better question is, is rock ’n’ roll worth living for? To that I’d say, hell yeah. “Believe me,” Grabien laughs, “some days are really rough, and some times I can barely think of a reason to get out of bed, but rock ’n’ roll—there’s always a great tune or a great album to listen to again. And there’s great new music coming along, too. So I’d say that rock ’n’ roll is worth living for. Rock truly gives me something to live for every single day.” < Share your pirate radio memories with David at talkpix@earthlink.net.

Skirting the edge of good taste... BRUNO starts where Borat’s most infamous scene left off—right on the bleeding edge of R—and if any theatrical release were destined for its own afterlife on DVD, this is it. Sacha Baron Cohen won’t be winning any GLAAD awards for his portrayal of preening, swishing Austrian supermodel Bruno Gehard, a fashionista with an image problem who tries to jump-start his fading TV career in Hollywood, Israel and the odd Lebanese refugee camp. But the comic’s real target is of course bigotry, and watching Cohen lob his gay bombs into butch American idylls like reb hunting campouts and cage fights remains funny as hell. The film’s nominal storyline takes Bruno through a dizzying schedule of huddles and interviews meant to generate publicity for the unknown Eurostar—including terrorist visits and an African stop to “accessorize.� All of which is to say, Bruno skirts the edges of good taste. But if you can’t laugh at Ron Paul getting hit on in a motel room, or stage mothers agreeing to have their toddlers lose 10 pounds for a role or Paula Abdul sitting down on migrant workers shaped as furniture for an interview, who are you?—Richard Gould

NOVEMBER 20 – NOVEMBER 26, 2009 PACIFIC SUN 37

›› STARSTREAM

Week of November 19-25, 2009

by Ly n d a R ay

ARIES (March 20 - April 19) The weekend starts out rough, but improves in time for Saturday night. Keep this in mind if you are trying to decide which evening to include your boss or your future in-laws in your social plans. No matter how much you love Thanksgiving, you are likely to take on more than any normal mortal can handle as optimistic Jupiter suggests you invite a crowd over for dinner. Fortunately, you are fearless in crowds—and you left normal behind years ago.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 19) As argumentative Mars stirs up trouble with your ruler, peaceable Venus, you are wondering how your battle-scarred psyche can make it through another week. Well, once you make it through Saturday, you should notice a bit of relief. On Wednesday, you crave liberation. Forget your job, your duties and do whatever you feel like doing. It’s the day before Thanksgiving; no one will even notice you’re gone.

GEMINI (May 20 - June 20) Being the wordy type, most of you have a manuscript, a screenplay or a notebook full of poetry somewhere waiting to be discovered. That’s why you should take advantage of having expansive Jupiter in your publishing house while your ruler (clever Mercury) is in the lucky sign of Sagittarius. So, while everyone else is working on a menu for Thanksgiving, you should be working on getting an agent.

CANCER (June 21 - July 21) Thursday & Friday are the bottom of your lunar cycle, which may deplete your energy and make you question whether you really want to follow through with your plans for a massive Thanksgiving dinner. The good news/ bad news is that disciplined Saturn is in your house of domesticity. You may not always enjoy it, but you are able to cook, nurture and take care of everyone for the next five months. We knew we could count on you. LEO (July 22 - August 22) Ready to lighten up a little? There is a dramatic difference when your ruler (the Sun) leaves the obsessive sign of Scorpio to enter the happy-golucky sign of Sagittarius. By Sunday, you become the star in your own romantic comedy. The loony Moon lights up your relationship house, while witty Mercury and the dramatic Sun enhance your self-expression. If you don’t have a co-star yet, start auditioning candidates. VIRGO (August 23 - September 21) It’s OK, Virgo. You can trust me. Irritating Mars is wreaking havoc with your subconscious. He is making you feel as if someone or something is out to get you, but he is actually making much ado about nothing. So, your challenge this week is to question any wild dreams that disturb your sense of peace. To rephrase the Temptations, it is just your imagination running away with you...

LIBRA (September 22 - October 22) Typically, you like to keep it on an even keel, but you surprise yourself this week. You are prone to overestimating your own abilities to the point of exaggeration. On Monday you may promise more than you can deliver. Remember, realistic Saturn is in your sign for the next five months. Pipe dreams are strongly discouraged.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) Love and lust can be two completely different things. Mistaking obsession with attraction is often your weakness. And, once involved, you tend to hang in there tenaciously, long after you and your “obsession” should have parted ways. The spontaneous connection you make this week is likely to be exciting, but short-lived. You might make it through Thanksgiving dinner—but, don’t count on it lasting through the leftovers... SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 20) Is that a suitcase in your hand? Your zodiac celebration officially begins Saturday night, making you hyperaware of your celestial identity as the world explorer. Meanwhile, impulsive Mars has taken over your travel house and the idea of staying put for Thanksgiving is not working for you. Have a good trip, enjoy your birthday and savor that mai tai on the beach.

CAPRICORN (December 21 - January 18) Other people might give up when confronted with the planetary intensity experienced by your sign right now. You consider it a boon to your ambition. You are able to use the difficult relationship between the karmic duo of Saturn and Pluto to strengthen your tenacity. The glass may be half empty, but the half that is full is highly concentrated motivation. So I’m not worrying about you—and you shouldn’t either.

AQUARIUS (January 19 - February 17) The holidays are approaching—a good excuse for not wanting to work. Your sign has been experiencing some problems in dealing with career challenges. This week it gets worse before it gets better. So, if you can skip out, go ahead. If you can’t, then hang in there until Wednesday when you get a lucky break—or a new idea for what you want to do with your life. Besides eating pumpkin pie in front of the TV... PISCES (February 18 - March 19) The creative Sun joins clever Mercury in your career house this weekend. Stop worrying about finding, keeping or losing a job and start focusing on the ways an imaginative, talented and sensitive visionary can gain success without abandoning your soul. And, if one of the ways to soothe your soul requires a plane ticket to the Caribbean, so be it. Why do you think they invented the Visa card? < E-mail Lynda Ray at cosmicclues@gmail.com or check out her Web site at www.lyndarayastrology.com 38 PACIFIC SUN NOVEMBER 20 – NOVEMBER 26, 2009

Q:

I have a knack for finding the lowest of the low in the trash piles of human existence. Being too nice and having low self-esteem has meant that I’ve dated a long list of losers. The most recent loser works with me. Without my knowledge, he took photos of us having sex, and e-mailed them to men at our workplace. I’m totally embarrassed. I wanted to press charges, but miraculously, no one claims to have seen these photos—unless they don’t want to humiliate me by saying so.—Mortified

A:

If a man’s going to make your dream come true, it’s best it isn’t that one where you suddenly find yourself naked in front of everybody at work. The good news is, on the humiliation front, there’s no place to go but up: toilet paper on your shoe, tuck your skirt into your pantyhose? You’re having a good day! You could consider legal action. Unlike in sexual harassment cases where somebody claims “After he said I had pretty hair, I could no longer do my job as an accountant,” your experience sounds like textbook “hostile workplace.” According to law prof Kingsley Browne’s Biology at Work, that’s a work situation that’s “permeated with sexuality or ‘discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult’” severe enough to change the conditions of the victim’s employment and create an abusive work environment. If you talk to a lawyer, you may find that you could have a pretty good case. But, even by winning a case, do you actually win? Just by filing suit, you’re probably setting yourself up for “The Streisand Effect.” The term was coined after an aerial photo of Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home was one of about 12,000 included in an online database documenting coastal erosion. These still shots of land eroding weren’t exactly garnering TMZ-style traffic—until Babs filed a $10 million lawsuit against the photographer to get the shot of her house removed, driving more than 420,000 people to view it in a single month. In other words, even by talking with co-workers about what happened, you could end up, well...making a mountain out of a thigh mole. Try to remember that the maggot who did this to you is the one who’s gotten naked in the ugliest way—exposing himself as somebody who gets off on doing violence to a girl’s reputation. What happened, was he no longer getting the same thrill out of Xeroxing his butt? Barenaked Saturday didn’t show up on Bagel Monday because you’re “too nice,” but because you’re too willing to accept losers as your lot in life. Having low selfesteem isn’t the problem, either—it’s having it and not doing a damn thing about it. You can have a nice guy in your life—if you develop yourself into a person who feels she deserves it, and actually demands it. In the meantime, hold your head high. Time will pass, and eventually, feeling naked at the office will once again mean knowing that they can all see you forgot to wear earrings—not that you forgot to make an appointment at the waxer.

Q:

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for three years. His wife of 30 years died six years ago, but he still calls her “my wife,” talked about her in the bedroom until I got mad and still mentions her constantly. When I got angry about that, he blew up and said he’d talk about her whenever and however he wants. I love him, but is this normal?—Sad Heart

A:

Three’s a crowd, even if one of you is dead. Now, after 30 years, it’s normal that he’d still talk about her. To a point. Yet, there you are in bed, enjoying the afterglow and he rolls over and says, “Betty and I went to the Ozarks one time. Had a great time. Doubt you and I could ever match it. Might as well stay home and talk about Betty!” What he really needs to talk about is whether he wants a new life or just an audience for the old one. In a neutral moment, tell him you know he loved her and had a wonderful life with her, but it hurts to always be hearing about her—and in a way that sounds like he’s married to her and getting some on the side from you. If he wants to be with you, he needs to act like he accepts that he lost his wife—and not just somewhere between Spencer’s Gifts and Cinnabon. <
