(Untitled)
I don't even have time to read the Internet now. I'm wanted in the real world continuously, and it isn't pleasant: all sorts of disasters stacked one upon the other. They're necessary to get the karmic balance right. God is being good to me though: the disasters have been leaving things such, and have been timed such, that there's as little ( Read more... ) -
This is a bother!
I seem to have broken my right elbow. Not today, but over a month ago, out in the wilderness. It took me this long to figure it out. It's got considerably worse over the past week because I've been abusing it terribly. I suppose I'll have to stop abusing it and hope that it heals correctly. That'll take a bit of discipline, but I'll begin by ( Read more... ) -
Quotations
I just approved an application for membership in the asperger community. During the course of considering that application, I looked at the applicant's profile, and I found a couple of interesting quotes.
"Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell and spirituality is for those who have already been there."
Shades of nickykaa's classic journal entry ( Read more... ) -
Coming up for air
Last Tuesday evening I had a plan for Wednesday morning. I was going to ride the bus to the Palms, put in a few hours gambling in the casino, and have breakfast in the buffet. Then I was going to write to Plan R, who sometimes comments in this journal. When Wednesday morning arrived, God told me to work on my next music compilation instead. I ( Read more... ) -
Looking into a bit of Hell
_wind_spirit_ wanted to see a trailer for a movie called The Reader, so we watched a couple of them on the computer. Fantastic!- but the trailer is enough.
On the other hand, _wind_spirit_ is sitting behind me whining, "It made me curious. I want to see the whole thing." -
Spiritual drivel
Several times in the past week, a line from Castaneda has drifted into my consciousness. It goes more or less like this (from memory, after a quarter century or so): "A sorcerer who finds himself face to face with his double is a dead sorcerer."
This afternoon, this bit of commentary crossed my mind: Kind of like on a pinball machine, when you ( Read more... ) -
Know when to walk away and know when to run
I've been Twittering a bit about playing poker this weekend at the Hard Rock Casino. It's an easy walk from my apartment and there's a $1/$2 no-limit holdem game that runs round the clock and usually includes a few players who have very little understanding of the game. I played a while Friday evening and won $302. I played a while yesterday ( Read more... ) -
Working on one of my hobbies
Long before I finished A Boy Who Can't Talk, I burned my first cut of A Wheelchair on the Canyon Wall. Then I put it away and forgot it. Forgetting it was actually my intent: I deliberately deselected the option that causes track titles to display on my player, so that I could listen to the transitions without prejudice. I'm impressed with what ( Read more... ) -
Twitter account
Outrageous as it may seem, I just set up a Twitter account. If it seems too outrageous, blame it on mercurygrrl. And on the necessity of replacing my cell phone - a calamity that was the subject of my last journal entry. When I replaced the phone, I also replaced my service plan with one that allows for unlimited text messaging. It costs no more than the ( Read more... ) -
Wonders of modern technology
_wind_spirit_ and I just got new cell phones. It couldn't be avoided any longer. We still have to figure out how they work - if indeed they can be made to work at all. If you're among the few people who sometimes has occasion to call one or the other of us, I wish us luck. I suspect we'll need it.
