I was sick, sick, sick last week-no journaling, or pretty much anything else-I had strep throat-I’m taking antibiotics now-upset stomach seems to be the only side effect. Erika is sick as well-same thing I think, but she’s suffering more. The kids both have colds, but they didn’t get strep (I hope)-Erika started antibiotics yesterday, so we have until Friday or so until incubation is over.<\/p>\n
So, what’s new, you ask? Again, as if anyone other than me reads this. It’s so isolating to write this and not hear from anyone. I hear about once a year or so from someone that read one of the essays, but that’s it. Switching over to GeoCities probably has an impact too-I was on freehomepage for long enough to get the spiders visiting regularly, but I have no idea how long it will take for the spiders to find me again, if they ever do. Whatever-this is more for me to keep a history rather than for other people…<\/p>\n
I started using the journals I get with the One Spirit daybook. One is a dream journal, and one is for general writing and ideas. I also looked over the lists I keep, and purged unused idea sheets. Now to update things.<\/p>\n
What I did: went to dinner with one of Erika’s group, new Pilates class-don’t like the guy as much as Dana, went to the Cube, got new shoes for the kids, ate a nice pizza in Rancho Sta. Margarita, get a fever Sun., Mon., Tue had a sore throat & swollen glands, went to the Dr. Wed & got antibiotics, off Thurs., work Fri., class Sat., went to my parents for Matt’s birthday, more Matt’s birthday on Sun. Erika’s sick now.<\/p>\n
Johnny Carson died. Everyone’s talking about it. Aunt Phoebe died too. Erika said there was a third, but I don’t remember who. These all go in threes. Back to Carson. NPR did a snip on him, with a quote about how nice and smart and funny he was. Duh. You don’t last 30 years on television otherwise. The thing is that he started out on the Tonight show on ’62, when there was still a thing called civility and intelligence in TV, and it wasn’t just a quaint, antique concept. That and the Tonight show concept is still not stale. You only need to look at the Daily show to see that. Requiescat in pace.<\/p>\n
Inauguaration last week-didn’t watch. Either did Erika. Dude just makes me grind my teeth. “Peaceful transfer of power” indeed! WTF does that mean? Transfer to who? It’s not like there’s anyone new… Shoulda watched the Daily show to get a laugh out of it…too sick though. Same thing will probably apply in Iraq-or should I say, “U.S. in the middle East”. There’s a good reason the rest of the world pronounces U.S. “you ass”. Did it during Vietnam-doing it now. The Connie Rice thing bugged me too-admitting no mistakes and condoning torture just don’t cut it. Her and Gonzales will get through anyways-no one can stop this. It’s bogus.<\/p>\n
Not much tech stuff gleaned since I’ve been sick-tried to get a copy of Slackware-maybe tonight-big D\/L. Got alloy-a modeling thing for Java.<\/p>\n
I pulled out my copy of the “Golden Dawn”. Think I’ll start in again on the First Knowledge Lecture, the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, and the Neophyte Ritual. Basically that’s the four elements, the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the ten Sephiroth, and the two rituals. The Pentagram ritual is pretty short-face the four directions, do a pentagram, vibrate and visualize the diety name and archangels at that place. I may start an essay giving all this info away, as the book is complicated-it should be simpler. I’d like to do the same thing with Pilates, as no one ever describes all the exercises in the original contrology book-I’d also like to make flash cards for both…helps for learning, and to put on the floor during a workout. I did find the set in real format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
