you know, looking at my calendar to the right, I notice a certain visual pattern developing.  If I skip posting tomorrow, then get back to to it for the 16 - 19th, then skip till the 21st, it'll definately be a full fledged pattern.  I may just be shallow enough to do it, too!

wow, this is so my day for posting, lol

thinkmonkey has a totally impressive rant/post, so I'm adding my little bit by linking it here.

Oh sure, it could have been something cool like House (which I've watched and liked, but not enough to follow) or Battlestar Galactica (ditto).  Instead, I find myself flipping frantically to fox just so I can watch the latest So You Think You Can Dance.  I only have 2 consolations.

1.  I stayed up late (as in 2am) for the last two nights watching multiple epis of Angel I'd missed and that the Space channel was kind enough to run back to back each night.  I finally know how Jasmine dies!!!!

2.  SYTYCD is way better than American Idol.  They aren't looking for prima donnas, the people aren't chosen for their egotism, etc.  It's wonderful.

Here's a thought I had earlier, while picking Mom up from work earlier.

I always knew that buddhists and neopagans had certain similarities, as well as differences, but it was tonight that I pinpointed the main one.  The goal for Buddhists is to become more in tune with the now,  to be aware and yet empty, so as to escape from the illusion of reality & reincarnation and someday achieve Nirvana; to escape the wheel of life.  The goal for Pagans is to become more in tune with the now, to celebrate and embrace life, and the cycles of the wheel.  It's like we both use many of the same tools, but the goals are totally opposite.  I wonder what buddhists make of that.
