Latter Swoon June 2007

Mon 18 Jun When Paul McCartney's 65....
I'm still stuck on the story of the Frank Franklin, just past the halfway point. Meanwhile, I started making calls for appointments. I added the hernia surgeon to the dentist. I still have much to schedule. Deapite the problems over the weekend, I almost finished my calendar for July. I have nineteen picures already, due to my new method of pulling them off the internet. I also updated my online diary, with the thought of having an intellectual diary as well.

Late last week, I tried to recall when I first went to Shea Stadium. Fortunately I could look up on the internet when the Giants beat the Mets 7-6 in 11 innings. It turned out to be on a Thursday, 21 August, not in July as I'd thought. The writeup must have been the following Tuesday -- not the other way around -- in the Wilkes-Barre Record.

Wed 20 Jun
I've been having my own June swoon. I failed to get to the Robert Alllen workshop. Hopefully, someon will call again so I can attend the workshops.

Sun 24 Jun
It's been another frustrating weekend as both Rosetta Stone and the Verizon internet refuse to work. I started a course with Block, and it went down. I am seriously thinking of changing to Comcast. I am getting nothing done.

Thu 28 Jun
I'm still trhying to get over the impending operation on a double hernia in the groin. I have the arrangements at work. Next I must arrange things at home, which includes Liberty Resources.
My hernia has been aching me on the left side all day. Meanwhile, I bought the third and fourth novels on Alex Rider.

Sat 30 Jun
My hernia has been acting up today, alhtough my sister insists that a laproscopic operation on a hernia is no big deal. My trip to Frankford Lower Bucks lasted an hour and a half. Fortunately I waited until today to get the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew second season. It costs five less at Walmart over Best Buy.

I finished "Skeleton Key" this morning. I would have never figured out how the case would have ended. Anthony Horowitz leaned how to write quite well.

June Swoon 2007

Sat 2 Jun
I had quite an attack of existential nausea this afternoon. I went food shopping for my mother and brother, after I had gone for myself last night. I spent a considerable amount of time on the new computer, trying to put on programs. I used the compatablity modes whenever I could.

Tue 5 Jun
Verizon online hass not been down since Saturday morning. Apparently they have fixed the digital scubscriber line. Meanwhile I'm lumping the MIT site with organic chemistry and astrophysics. I don't think we covered some of those organic chemistry thirtyone years ago. I wonder if the class received its money's worth at the Wilkes-Barre Campus of Penn State!

Wed 6 Jun
Kill Sirhan Bishra Sirhan!
Block was an insulting mess. I don't have to attend classed for rehire; I can take them online. Furthermore there are 112 classed online! (as of 16 June, still not up yet). I should drop "Everyone's Return".

Tue 12 Jun
I have returned to DIG. Last night I downloaded Dolf De Roos' program.

Thu 14 Jun
I picked up the final two Alex Rider books in an intrigue on how Anthony Horowitz handles his teen James Bond in later adventures. I also wanted to examine the schadenfreue of nearly killing Alex. I read "Colorado Conspiracy" of the Hardy Detective Agency.

Sun 17 Jun
I read "Dangerous Reflection" with the Hardy Detective Agency. Although I did enjoy it -- despite the loanguage (PG15) -- I found the change of Joe Hardy into an adopted child too farfetched. The ideal of an evil twin was entertaining. Because I personally would have enjoyed playing Joe Hardy myself, I found the Joe in that story too light for me.
I started "Ark Angel", the sixth of the Alex Rider series, and I was amazed how well written the beginning was. Anthnoy Horowitz must have learned this craft over decades.
Last night the computer gave me a hard time and the internet went down. Once again I had to reinstall Rosetta Stone. I finally replaced the ethernet connection to fix the internet. The wire was just too loose to keep the internet up to snuff.

Memorial Weekend to June

Wed 23 May
I sent the email about paying for the next round of sessions as my major project this summer. My minor project on copywriting has already begun, along with the Golden Needle.
Ed Schrachner's "Genius" is worth one more pass before I declare it finished. now I am going through Remote Viewing from Dennis Watley. I am trying to get all this synergized.
Tomorrow I have Toastmasters, the third meeting without a speech. However, I need that new computer first before I think about speeches.
Unfortunately Block will kick in all too soon in June. Of course, I barely went though any of my projects this month. Block has become a nuisance!
Monday night we had visitors, and one is an advocate. Hopefully we'll get some action.
I spent past of my open hour outside in the sun while listening to the first exercise of remote viewing. It reminds me of the psychic energy of Wicca.

Sat 26 May
We went to PathMark last night, and came home at dusk. The temperature rose into the 30º's so all I did outside was mow the from garden and the front lawn. I finished cleaning my room, but the bookcases at the head of the bed need cleaning again. I put in the air conditioner as well.
Downstairs I have much to sling. The modem continues to be inconsistently malfunctioning. I drew about a third of June with a third left to finish.

Mon 28 May
The twentythird anniversary of my inglorious retreat from State College loomed in my mind yesterday morning. I thought of the church I attended that day, and how much time has passed since then versus the time I used to go there to that time in 1984. It was only twenty years earlier in 1964-7!
Then I bought a new computer at Circuit City. Vista may be an improvement over Windows 98, but it is incompatable with many of my discs! My struggle with the internet was no better.

Tue 29 May
The internet ran most of yesterday until late afternoon. It's been off since then, and I'm losing patience. I will pick up a scanner and a printer from Circuit City. Before I confront any other problems, I must abate the obsolete!
I read the second book on Alex Rider, "Point Blanc"", and I was up until 11:30 last night to finish it. Now I must resume my own mystery, for I am only half finished writing it.
I went onto the MIT site (when the internet was working) and I wanter to print the instructions for astrophysics. My printer and scanner are simply incompatable.

Thu 31 May
Last night the internet was back on, but it ran ever so slowly. This morning the internet was back to speed. Meanwhile the website ar Rosetta Stone has a method around the incompatablity with Vista, and it worked. I've yet to do the same with other programs so far. My next visit is the website of Instant Immersion.
Michael Masterson's AWAI program arrived yesterday, but only now am I getting to it. I worked through yesterday, and I almost did so again today. Mom has a swollen left vamp. so I had to dress my brother. Therefore, I have the van (for I had not the time to walk to work), and I"ll pick up the rest of the antibiotic the dermatologist prescribed this afternoon.
