Keep the pyrite sensors from completely disavowing my existance.<\/p>\n<p>However, I guess the idea that this stupid little blather database is part of the validation of my existance is somewhat telling to begin with.  Perhaps I should just leave it at saying I will try to write more.<\/p>\n<p>I always use 100 words when I should use 10, and am reduced to 10 words when I need 100.<\/p>\n<p>So lets see, what&#8217;s news;  work has been hellish last 2 weeks, with a heavy shitty front moving in from the northwest over the next month or so.  Rebecca has put in her notice, so we are going to be shorthanded, and without a content editor.<\/p>\n<p>I can feel the rivets in my inbox straining already.  Its a funny thing having rivets in your inbox; I redid the piece in steel and aluminum after Ben passed away.  It helped prevent the enevitable buckling or cracking of plastic.<\/p>\n<p>I think maybe I&#8217;m going to have to upgrade to adamantium and mithral.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, yeah, work = busy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/chellez\/\">chellez<\/a> is currently between jobs, which is stressing her out, despite my telling her not to stress about it.  She gets stressed, then I get stressed&#8230; bad <a href=\"http:\/\/www.himalayanacademy.com\/basics\/nineq\/nineq_3.html\">circle karma<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that though, things are wonderful between us.  The third roomate is in Florida this week visitng family.  We just spent the weekend on a kickass ski trip.  Well, perhaps I should revise ski trip.  I believe it was an even break amongst those who went out on the mountains of <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.yahoo.com\/py\/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&#038;&#038;csz=Blakeslee+PA+&#038;Get%A0Map=Get+Map\">Eastern PA<\/a>, between snowboarding and skiing.  I did not partake in the mountaineering.  I did, however, partake in what Richelle referred to as &#8220;extreme barbecuing&#8221; (which i found amusing).  I cooked burgers and dogs sat night, in really cold and dark conditions with a half-broken propane grill that kept getting blown out by the wind.<\/p>\n<p>All and all though, it was much fun.  I think Richelle really enjoyed getting back in the slopes; and my parents seemed to enjoy her dog enough that it was not a big deal.  My mom turned 51.  She seems to be taking it much better than she took 50.<\/p>\n<p>She tells me my grandfather is not doing well.  I do not know what to think about that.  Where we were this weekend was not 10 minutes away from thier old manse, yet I could not bring myself to go.  Perhaps it is a thing for the best overall. <\/p>\n<p>I am going to find soemthing to eat I think.<\/p>\n<p>Current preoccupations include:<br \/>\n<b>Game Stuff<\/b><br \/>\n-Metroid Prime, the beating of<br \/>\n-Metroid Fusion, the potential purchase of<br \/>\n-Neverwinter Nights, the completeion of my launch module<br \/>\n-Xbox live, the figuring out how to connect it to my network\/the internet<\/p>\n<p><b>Research Stuff<\/b><br \/>\nJanuary appears to be the month of witches, thanks to a nice tome I got for xmas&#8230;<br \/>\n-Covens, Witchcraft, and the Infernal elements infused into it through mainstream Christianity over the last thousand years, with careful attention paid to the founding of this coutnry.<br \/>\n-Correlations between many of the traditions predating European expansion, and the older European rites<br \/>\n-Influence of Aztec\/Incan pantheon on development of tribal spirit tradtions; chicken\/egg &#8211; who learned what from who, and what survived why?<br \/>\n-correlations between <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/Athens\/Acropolis\/3093\/voodoo.html\">Proto-Uralic<\/a> panthoens and traditions throughout Eurpoe and central\/southamerican traditions &#8211; focus: what elements survive(d) from both, and are found in &#8220;modern&#8221; witchcraft.<br \/>\n-correlations between infernal imagery mishandled when dealing with witches from @ 1200&#8217;s to present and Proto-Uralic figures\/myths.<br \/>\n-Language focus: latin, hebrew; especailly in regards to older pagan traditions\/leviticus.<br \/>\n-further investigation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moldavites.net\/about_moldavites.php\">Moldavites<\/a>, re: cult signifigance, potential aetheric properties<\/p>\n<p>Fun Link of the day:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/talkread.bml?journal=lemonlye&#038;itemid=19097&#038;view=100249#t100249\">http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/talkread.bml?journal=lemonlye&#038;itemid=19097&#038;view=100249#t100249<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So yeah, I did it again, started condesing myself back to lists and links.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Orwell was right; newspeak will <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newspeakdictionary.com\/index-man.html\">eventually eliminate<\/a> the flowers and fruit of our language.
