What's the what this week.
First things first: anyone want a complete DVD set of all the Planet of the Apes movies? My brother has been slowly upgrading his collection to blu-ray and while I took a few of his old DVDs off his hands (the Godfather set, for instance), I really don't care about the Planet of the Apes movies. But I assured my brother I could find a good home for 'em, so if you want 'em, speak up.

Pisces Horoscope for week of January 22, 2009
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Once every few years, a panel of Hindu and Buddhist judges in Nepal chooses a new "living goddess," a young girl who serves, until she reaches puberty, as an incarnation of the deity Taleju. One of the tests each candidate must pass in order to be eligible for the role is this: She must show no fear as she spends a night alone in a room filled with the bloody heads of ritually killed buffaloes and goats. I'd like you to consider the possibility of carrying out a more humane equivalent of that ceremony, Pisces. For one night, keep symbols of what you're afraid of in the place where you sleep. To do so would be an excellent way to earn the right to graduate to the next level of your spiritual evolution.

Good in theory, Rob, but what do I pick as symbols of "You will die miserable and alone, knowing that no one has ever loved you"?
DR. FORRESTER: Why do I *always* get that fortune cookie?

Guitar was pretty good last night. I'm pretty uninspired by it right now, but I go in there and I do find I want to keep working at it. WOW it is a lot more pleasant playing his guitar at lessons. Clearly I need to do something about this guitar situation sometime in the near-ish future. But, we shall see. There are other expenses that are higher up the list!
--
My TV mojo is all messed up right now. I forgot that House was switching to Mondays, and so the DVR didn't get it on Monday night, and now I'm all, "Crap, Lost is starting up again and Bones is on at the same time as Supernatural now, or at least this week, and meanwhile the second season of Dexter is sitting there unwatched from Netflix!" Kind of a silly problem to have, but I'll get the hang of it. Eventually.
