MB SCOPES for Wed, Jan 6th, 2010

Today it’s all about decision making and taking care of business. And if you are a Libra, in a crazy backwards way you are going to have a great day!

CAPRICORN
If you’ve been waiting for a moment to begin something new, now is the time. You’re better at closings than openings, but right now, you’ve got free rein to do as you please.

AQUARIUS
Consensus will make a tough choice easier. Ask your friends for their advice, but in the end, you need to make the final decision.

PISCES
New Year’s may have come and gone, but you are still in the mood for making a clean sweep. You should clear out a closet or deal with an old emotional issue that still weighs you down. It’s time to move past it.

ARIES
Leave your feelings out of this one. You need detachment to make this decision.

TAURUS
Maybe you don’t need a whole new wardrobe, but it’s deifinitely time for a reevaluation and a revamp.

GEMINI
You’re not a doormat. You don’t have to let people wipe their feet on you.

CANCER
There’s no sense in trying to do to much today — especially if you’ve already got a full slate! Now is a much better time to close out old projects and take care of tasks that seem to linger.

LEO
Your friends have their opinions, but ultimately, this choice is up to you.

VIRGO
A recent defeat may be an opportunity in disguise. Reassess the situation.

LIBRA
Sometimes you can’t avoid the paparazzi. Better just enjoy the attention.

SCORPIO
The road before you seems easy enough, but be on the lookout for hidden obstacles. Nothing major, you just don’t want anything to slow you down.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s up to you to do what’s right today cause someone else is dropping the ball! Your commitment to fairness is unquestioned, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to take care of business.

THAT’S WHAT ‘S GOING ON IN YOU WORLD TODAY, ON YOUR MORNING BOUNCE HOROSCOPE.

Brainteaser!

Today’s question: People eat roughly 1.2 billion of these per year. What are they?

JENNIFER SAUNDERS is the WO-MAN today!! Thanks for the calls/e-mails/FB posts today! You are awesome!

Best answer besides the correct one: pieces of matter. Ha!

This wedding was Jo-bro-ed!!!!!

Check out some footage from Access Hollywood of Kevin Jonas’ wedding. Looks like they got married in a club!

Kim joins the perfume train!

Check out the new ad for her new fragrance:

According to People magazine, “The scent itself mixes notes that were chosen to reflect aspects of her personality, with jasmine, tuberose and gardenia evoking her femininity and tonka bean and sandalwood suggesting an even softer side.”

15 minutes of pain

Well, that wasn’t what this guy Navin from the U.K. was hoping for….

This guy was looking for his 15 minutes of fame…by taping himself being hit by a car.

Check it out here:

No word on his condition.

Best page ever

Picture it: paying at the grocery store 2 nights ago when I (Amber) hear the following page over the loudspeaker:

“Customer service to the customer service desk”.

CLASSIC.

MB SCOPES for Tues, Jan 5th, 2010

CAPRICORN
You can work out all the details if you put your mind to it — your energy is just right for making pals that are sure to stick. If you need to bring others on board, make sure you’ve got an agenda sketched out first.

AQUARIUS
Social dealings are a bit harder than usual for you today — but only because others aren’t on your page yet. You may just have to wait them out, as they are sure to come around to your way of thinking eventually.

PISCES
Why are you fighting so hard over this? Do some soul-searching and figure it out.

ARIES
It’s hard to build consensus today, even among close friends or family members. Everyone seems determined to find reasons to argue, and you’re no exception. Today ask yourself…is this really worth the battle! Things settle down soon.

TAURUS
Stop thinking about it, you know the truth. There’s no reason to lower your expectations. Go for what you really want.

Gemini
Finishing off little tasks may not be as satisfying as launching new initiatives, but right now, you’ve got to clear away any bills and other basics before you can move on to the next stage of your journey.

CANCER
You will be taken aback by another’s considerate actions. Thank them sincerely.

LEO
You may feel people are talking behind your back. But they’re not, really. Relax.

VIRGO
Have you been confused lately? Today, everything seems to make sense, and you should definitely get to work following your new assumptions. It all adds up in a good way really soon.

LIBRA
If you find yourself facing a wall, get a ladder. Don’t give up yet.
Someone close needs a sympathetic ear — and you’ve got two of them. You can rack up some major points just by smiling, nodding and showing that you get them. Put those social skills to good use!

SCORPIO
Take care of some pressing business on a friend’s behalf — you’re in the mood to surprise someone close! It’s a really great time for you to rack up points while basking in the warm glow of your halo.

SAGITTARIUSYou’ve gotten yourself worked up into quite a state. Chill out, already!

THAT’S WHAT‘S GOING ON IN YOU WORLD TODAY, ON YOUR MORNING BOUNCE HOROSCOPE!

World’s tallest building

Okay, let me indulge my inner nerd here.

The world’s tallest building has been unveiled officially.

It’s in Dubai and it’s over 168 stories tall with an observation deck on the 124th floor.

How much? Just 1.5 BILLION.

Jersey Shore

Have you experienced the goodness that is Jersey Shore?

It’s the MTV reality show about a group of people in their early 20s who spend a summer @ the Jersey Shore.

It is classic on so many levels, hello “The Situation” and “JWoww”.

Arrested Development star Michael Cera is clearly a fan, posing here after getting “Jersey Shored” with Pauly D.

Here’s a news report about the “controversial” Jersey Shore.

How to hypnotize people

Yesterday, I tried to hypnotize Frankie during the News You Can’t Use @ 8:50 so he wouldn’t eat out anymore.

Well, he didn’t eat out yesterday, sticking to his New Year’s resolution, so I think it worked!!

Here’s the hypnotic music I used:

Here’s what I did:

1. Have the person you’re working with sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

2. Talk slowly in a soothing voice (it doesn’t have to be monotone).

3. Say “Take a deep breath and as you let it out, close your eyes and begin to feel yourself relaxing.” (If their eyes are already closed, leave the eye closing out)

4. Have your subject put their awareness on different parts of their body and relax them. You can use language such as “Now become aware of your arms… now relax your arms… let them grow more and more comfortable… let the muscles become loose and limp and even more relaxed”. Repeat this type of instruction for all areas of the body.
5. Sprinkle your language with plenty of positive reinforcements such as – “That’s right, good, you’re doing just fine.”

6. Repeat if necessary: Depending on the person, you may have to repeat the whole procedure a few times. For most people 10 or 15 minutes is enough.

7. When you’re ready to emerge them just say “I’m going to count to five, when I reach five or before, your eyes will open and you’ll feel relaxed and refreshed”. Count up to five slowly with your voice getting a little less soothing and a little more “awake” with each number. When you reach four, if their eyes aren’t open say “On the next number your eyes will open and you’ll feel relaxed and refreshed. Five, eyes open, feeling relaxed and refreshed.”
