I'm digging my Free Will Horoscope today:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Looks like the Season of a Million Emotions hasn't wiped you out completely. Though it might be hard to tell because of the puddles of tears by your bed and the piles of ashes from your burnt offerings, you've managed to maintain a modicum of poise. I mean, you're not spitting into the wind and throwing stones at heaven while trying to dance naked on the roof with a hangover, right? That in itself is a sign you've escaped a trap you've always been a sucker for in the past. I bet that if you can just hold on to your sanity for another eight days or so, you'll finally graduate from the University of Senseless Pain, where you've been matriculating for way too long.

It's almost as if someone's been reading my mind. Can't wait to return to some semblance of normalcy. Who's to say that I've been living in such deep pain though? They make it sound like I've been gnashing and weeping every night before I go to bed.

In news today, three English people have been accused of cheating on the United Kingdom's version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" I don't think anyone's going to get outta this one unscathed. It's like when a group of people get caught cheating on a test. You think to yourslelf, "Why didn't I think of that?" and then you realize, oh yea, it's because I'm too smart. Alas, Click here for the story.

The fallout from the Microsoft anti-trust case has brought some interesting developments. Particularly their agreement to make some of their code public. Not like I really get into this all that much, but I know at least one of you out there wants to "look under the hood."

New Jersey isn't exactly the most pleasant of places. Looks like it got a whole lot worse.

And if you though that Destiny's Child singer, Beyonce, was too young to be acting how she does, then she just got one-upped by her younger sister, Solange. Don't get any ideas, she's 15.

Lastly, if you've never seen the sketch comedy show "The State" then you missed out on a classic piece of comedy. They took more risks than "Saturday Night Live," they were more talented than any of the pretenders on "Mad TV," and they are definitely as edgy as those guys on "The Kids in the Hall." Now you can catch up to the madness at StateMedia, a website featuring links and tons of videos of their best sketches. Before you start saying, "Now why were they so good if the show got cancelled?" you must know that MTV notoriously devises shows that are made to be replaced. If these shows gain any form of obscene popularity, the morons in corporate try to make it have that genuine MTV smell. Just imagine, Carson Daly might actually not be the big tool that MTV makes him seem. On that note, "I'm outta hee-eeeeeeeere."
