Sagittarius Horoscope for week of February 5, 2009

A substantial fraction of the world's scientists are funded by the military. This saddens me. I wish we lived on a planet where most scientists were in service to peace and plenty, working to solve social and environmental problems. But corrupt exploitations of the scientific method are no excuse for me to banish it from my repertoire. I use it frequently. Likewise, I draw tremendous inspiration from the life and teachings of Christ, even though I don't belong to a Christian church and am distraught about the devastation wrought by the fundamentalist mindset. Would you consider applying this approach to your personal life, Sagittarius? For example, maybe you could come to a new appreciation of your parents' gifts without losing sight of the ways they messed you up. Or perhaps you could forgive your heroes for their slight lack of integrity, or borrow good ideas from a way of looking at the world that partly offends you.

The proverbial bathwater stinks so much either you can't imagine a baby being in it, or perhaps it smells like baby and you've forgotten. All I know is that I haven't been clean lately myself, and I don't like it.

Finally got my sample copy of Videomaker magazine after over a month and a half's wait. Of course, in an age when personal portable phones have built-in video, the actual "stand-alone" video cameras themselves have gotten supersophisticated. Everything's High Def now...of course, that means that second-hand pre-HD format cameras are real cheap now. Looking at this stuff "cold" shows me that I have a lot of terminology to learn.

I'm not subscribing to this magazine but using my copy as a springboard for my own education on the subject.

It is a sad fact that movies based on newspaper comic strips tend to not deliver all that well at the box office.

Then again, I have a buddy who's waiting for a Luann movie. *shrug*
