The Shattered Prayer

As long time readers of the Shattered Prayer know, Che used to comment on each new episode of “Lost.”

But then the show got really sucky. And Life got really busy. So no more comments.

I promised I wouldn’t watch it this season. But because of the writer’s strike, there is nothing else on. I got roped back in, and actually found myself enjoying the new writer-strike-shortened season. So here are a few comments about “Lost.”

It was from a contest I entered months ago. Which really isn’t all that exciting when you think about it. I prefer Mojo’s “mysterious gift from the other side” theory, or my own “poison t-shirt from my worst enemy” theory. (Note that I’m the one who comes up with the paranoid hypothesis).

I’m talking about Rob. Let’s start with me, shall we?

Yeah…. Rob. We’ll start with me, because I’m so light-years ahead of everyone else:

After Thanksgiving, we started to talk about religion and people’s differing beliefs and my dad shared this little tidbit with us.

The first day of Nanowrimo is over. A bunch more days to go.

This week from  Rob, get this. Rob wants Steff NOT to have sex with the sex-robots. Lemme repeat that. No sex with robots for you, Steff. And no being uploaded into a sex-robot either.

For all we know, in your past life you were a virgin who was thrown into a volcano to appease a fire deity. But whether or not that’s an actual fact, we can say this with certainty: At some time in your current life, you made a great sacrifice in an effort to pacify a person whose anger or violence or manipulativeness you were intimidated by. Now I say unto you, Aries, that it’s an excellent time to fix any distortions that were unleashed in your life because of that sacrifice. You’ve got the personal power and insight you need to set the healing in motion. Halloween costume suggestions: the mythical phoenix; a virgin-turned-warrior carrying the severed head of the fire deity; a fireman, firewoman, or firedancer.

That was Steff’s horoscope from Rob this week.

Last August, a woman in Pennsylvania experienced a miracle when she cut open an eggplant. The seeds were arrayed in the shape of the word “God.” Felicia Teske regarded it as a divine sign that had been sent to comfort her for some difficulties she had recently experienced. She felt deep gratitude for the gift. Nevertheless, she cooked up the vegetable and served it to her family for dinner, though not before saving a slice that she offered for sale on eBay. I urge you to follow Felicia’s lead in the coming week, Gemini. Magnetize yourself to epiphanies and breakthroughs that will simultaneously feed your soul, your body, and your bank account.

Ah yes, exploiting miracles for money. Just like somethin’ I’d do. That was my horoscope for the week from Rob, in case you couldn’t guess.
