mercury (retrograde) and B'GAWKing through the week...

Three times a year, for about three weeks, Mercury goes "retrograde", meaning that from the viewpoint of Earth, the planet appears to be moving backward. Many astrologers believe this is a common time for electrical and mechanical problems. I don't know if it's actually happening this week but I use the phrase "mercury's in retrograde" to refer to any old week that is fraught with issues such as the ones I'm having today:
• home computer no worky
• ipod no worky
• can't upload pix to the blog for some reason
• gmail.com won't load
• my cell phone gives an error message to some incoming callers

Sure, it's mostly hooey, but it's fun! For the most trippy, spacey astrology since Rob Brezny, click here.

So while Mercury is pissing me off, you dear friends have 4 opportunities for amazing comedic genius this week in the form of:
