I’ve compiled these impressions based on 20th Century American Christian popular media, Fox News, and several weekend retreats in my teens.

• JibbaJabba-Jewtalk-Name was put on a stick by evil, poor brown people and left out in the sun to Tan and Diet in order to purge himself of the Original Sins of Jewishness, Brownishness, Liberalism and Poverty. In memory of this, Christy people deep fry things and eat them on sticks.

No direct recollection of the dream survives, but woke up v paranoid. Belief of the day seems to be that Rupert Murdoch is somehow controlling management at UNH in an attempt to make me stop wearing hats.

The hat is, in this line of thought, some sort of last defense against a group of Christian-Zionists who wish to control the God-module through corrupted scriptures.

How utterly fucked is that? What was I dreaming about?

I've had several weird dreams lately with the commonalities that they pertain to the order and it's membership, and that they involve using LSD at some point.

Not sure what to make of them, but they all seem rather surreal and disordered. Attached audio file is a recording of the diary entry immediately following.

Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" on the harp? Aw, hell yes.

So, Æqo got off the tie last night and was gone for about 4 hours. There was much panicking and running about hunting for her. Boat load of fail, but a lot of exercise was had. The results were... expensive.

I've been rereading Illuminatus! for the 3rd or fourth time. What I'm finding interesting about the experience is that there's always more in the book than I previously realized. My focus this time is on the way that the characters develop through initiatory processes.

I've been up hellishly late 2 nights in a row. First was Tuesday, when I decided to damn the torpedoes and truck my ass to Salem to see my KTO brothers. It was a pleasure and privilege to see them again.

Spent last night working on hexagram ritual analysis with E. Not a bad night's work.

Les Paul, originator of the solid body electric guitar, multi-track recording, and a master of the instrument, celebrated his Greater Feast on August 13th.

His legacy is immense.

I've been doing some digging into the Hexagram Rituals, and have come up with a point that I cannot seem to get my head wrapped around. I may be creating trouble for myself, but I'd like a head-check before I hurt myself. The traditional assignation of the Elements to their quarters is based on the 4 Fixed Signs of the zodiac in the Hexagram rituals is as follows:

Qtr...........Sign.......Element.......Kerub

Klint Finley over at Renegade Futurist recently pointed out This Story from the Wall Street Journal about the city of Oakland, CA hiring private guards to supplement their police force. Their reasoning, that contracting private guards are less expensive than hiring new police officers may well be sound; however, there's a moral issue involved that concerns me: who bears responsibility for the actions of those private guards?
