I’m a Virgo

In my last post I talked about the amazingness* of UK television. I take it back.

I didn’t even know I believed in horoscopes, but anyone wearing sparkles will make a believer out of me.  This video doesn’t really do him justice. Today he was wearing a large pink sparkly cape. I don’t speak Spanish. The person I watched this with today told me Walter said that I’m going to have a lot of money and am very intelligent. Awesome.
