Horoscopic
Today is my lucky day, eh, Taurus? Sure, I'd like today to be my lucky day! Except that I have to endure misfortune to get to the luck. Hmmph.
Wait a minute, how is this supposed to work? I'm trying to prove that I can apply any horoscope prediction to myself. I'll fail if I have nothing but good luck all day!
I think it's time to invoke the McNamara Curse.
The McNamara Curse is something Mom came up with years ago, though she insists it goes back generations (riiiiiight). Supposedly, anyone in our family can invoke bad luck upon ourselves if we stare long enough at this creepy photo of my great-great-grandmother, Bathsheba McNamara. Mom swears that Bathsheba was responsible for my grandfather's kidney stones and the failure of my aunt's herbal tea business.
I don't believe it for a moment. Any more than I believe in horoscopes. But since I'm playing along with horoscopes anyway, why not go all the way and invoke the family curse?
I don't have the original photo of old Bathsheba, but it's on the family website. I could even print out the photo and take it to work with me, so I'll be bathing in Bathsheba's negative juujuu all day!
