There’s a list I’m on, and this small thread caught my eye. The response just stopped me in my tracks.  The post was on an astrology forum, and it was about investigating natal charts of serial killers.  In this case, it was about Steven Wright and you can read the stories here and here.

Anyway, the first poster puts up the alleged’d birthday and a short analysis (“a spoiled child in Bazi system it looks like”); I assume to start the discussion.

The only response I’ve seen so far is this one. 

wow.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

As a trial, I added a “recent comments” plugin on the right side so you can see what everyone’s talking about on my blog.

The positive aspect of this is natural – you can see the hot topics, or stay tuned to what people respond to.

The negative aspect is that you find out pretty quickly that I’m the primary poster of comments… which is pretty sad if you think about it.  I mean, the blog is about me, the posts are written *by* me, and usually the posts themselves are about me.  And then I’m the one writing comments on my posts.  I’m either very self-centered, or pitifully lonely in this online world.

I think I’d rather be self-centered

I think this is great.  We got two movies coming already based on SG-1, and even though this next season of SG-1 will be the last, Stargate Atlantis will continue on. 

I love these shows!
