I've got bad news and, um, bad news

I think we're all familiar with the stereotype of the Gypsy from Transylvania who lives in the misty woods and does palm readings and gazes into a crystal ball right? We've seen that in classic werewolf films and so on, I'm sure. Well, I had the modern day equivalent of that cinematic experience this past Friday.

First thing to know is that the Transylvania region is in modern day Romania, and this weekend I ended up going to a Romanian bar. One of my friends, who is from Bucharest, decided to do some palm-readings for some of us, and while she was observing my friend Justus's fortune, she was all smiles. So, I turn my palm over to her, and a cloud immediately passes over her face. She gets this very worried look on her face, and says, "You have a life that is filled with much sadness." Outstanding! So I, uh, waited for some good news to come from my fortune telling, and she told me that there really wasn't any.

What a way to start the weekend...
