From the Fonstad-Frankel Fax

To-Do List:
1. Finish reading The Book Of The Law
2. Read the three other Thelema reference books that came in the same package
3. Go through the books with a pen and cross out all the parts that don't make sense
4. Memorize everything else
5. Start practicing

Shouldn't've used a pen. Revised To-Do List:
1. Get new copies of inked-up books
2. Reread them all, slowly
3. Practice as I read
4. Achieve visible results in the physical world
5. Indulge in suitably impressive laughter

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's that I have more reason to be really dedicated about this stuff, but I have a very distinct feeling that something big and potent is in the offing. Something enormous is about to happen and I think I know what it is...
December 9, 2006
Nothing. Damn.
Back to reading.
December 10, 2006
The other inmates in this part of the prison are beginning to grate on my nerves. What does it take to get a man who's been convicted of massive amounts of mail fraud sent into the general prison population? That should shut him up.
Still reading. Some of this practice and observance is going to be more than a little difficult under the current circumstances. I may have to branch out in order to get results after all. Where'd I put those bilge volumes again?
December 11, 2006
All right, something is going on. I'm going to see if I can't get some sort of viable divination or something with what little I have on me right now.
... that can't be right. According to the book, this kind of behavior from a pendulum means there's some issue either in the diviner- which isn't it- or directly above the diviner, and there's nothing up there but the roof.
I'm going to sleep on the other side of the cell if I can manage it, just in case something collapses.

WHAT THE HELL.
WHAT THE- Here the text of the diary breaks off into incoherent scribbling for a page and a half.
That's it. That's absolutely, positively IT. SCREW the careful development of inner perfected power. I want results and I want them NOW.
Those four IDIOTS aren't getting away with this, no matter WHAT the President and NASA think of them!
