Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I almost forget to post the Free Will Horoscope:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Tropical rainforests produce one-fifth of the earth's oxygen, contain half of all plant and animal species, and provide ingredients for one-fourth of our pharmaceuticals. So what's behind the shortsighted destruction of this treasure? Here's one cause: Indigenous tribes often believe they can make a better living by chopping down the forests and using the land for farming. Why should they care about the global perspective, they argue, when they're struggling to survive? Recently, though, evidence has emerged that proves the locals can actually make more money from wild-harvesting sustainable resources like medicinal plants, fruits, nuts, and oils than they can from growing subsistence crops. Now let's take this vignette and apply it as a metaphor to your current life situation, Virgo: By clinging to a source of meager value, you're depriving yourself (and the world) of a richer alternative.

Cryptic, I like it.

The parade of interesting guest stars continues on "Alias." The latest star being Ethan Hawke. Should be interesting, but I don't see him as the cunning, cutthroat spy type. Maybe he'll surprise us all.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and we'll see some new things coming for the new year. Looks like we'll aslo be getting some new life soon as well. How soon remains to be seen. It will be groundbreaking when it happens though.

If I don't pig out tomorrow, I'll be surprised. Good thing I know there's a reason that we do. And also a reason that we don't.

Alan Moore is a genius. His writing is solid, and always intriguing. One of his currently published comic books, "Promethea" is just one exampe of his extraordinary ability to create fully astounding stories. Read about it.

Lastly, since this happens to be the most interesting time of year, movie-wise. Here's a HUGE article concerning the new Lord of the Rings movie. Read it and sweat with anticipation.
