MSN = Big Brother

About 3 months ago I signed up for a free Astrology profile on msn.com in order to receive daily horoscopes from them. For awhile the horoscopes were pretty generic, reminiscent mostly of cheap fortune cookies, but lately they've been a little too specific.

For instance, last Thursday night I stayed out way too late and as my post noted, drank way too much. Friday morning's horoscope read, "Did you over-indulge last night, Lauren? Most likely you are suffering from a hollow head and a hollow stomach this morning."

hmm...ok, yeah, the likelihood of a Taurus going out on a Thursday night may be a bit higher than other zodiac signs, I'm not sure, but the whole thing came to a head this morning when I got to work and read my horoscope:
"It is possible that you will receive a communication today that will turn your life in a different direction. Doors that you have never considered opening may be flung wide for you."
Approximately 3 minutes later, I walked down the back hall to use the restroom and a door I literally have never even paid attention to flung open, throwing me into the wall while a maintenance dude came casually strolling out. WTF, msn?! Not. Cool.
