Post-Solstice Slumber
This blog is a performance-based relationship. We are both letting each other down lately.
Can anyone explain to me why it takes 30 minutes or more for an email I send to myself to be put in my inbox? Granted, I am using Hotmail, but that’s just silly. Sometimes Sheraton and I could walk to each other’s office faster than emails go through. (Email duration time should not equal the time it takes to walk 4 blocks!)

I have all sorts of Scientology doodads to put here, but I’m afraid they’ll come after me! Ah, I’ll sacrifice for you.
A nice summation of “Dianetics,” the book that started it all, thanks to an unfortunate reader on Salon.com: “Dianetics” belongs to a category of books that will be instantly familiar to anyone who’s done time reading the slush pile of unsolicited manuscripts for a book publisher. This kind of book is typically an explanation of life, the universe and everything written by a choleric gentleman (often a retired military officer) who has holed up in a converted basement or former kid’s bedroom to hammer out his ideas about how the world works — ideas that have for too long been disregarded by the incompetents and assholes around him. (If you are not familiar with this sort of book, know that you have the slush pile readers of America to thank for that.)
Questions posed to Sci. members during an “audit” (lie detector test):
Have you driven anyone insane?
• Have you ever killed the wrong person?
• Is anybody looking for you?
• Have you ever set a poor example?
• Did you come to Earth for evil purposes?
• Are you in hiding?
• Have you systematically set up mysteries?
• Have you ever made a practice of confusing people?
• Have you ever philosophized when you should have acted instead?
• Have you ever gone crazy?
• Have you ever sought to persuade someone of your insanity?
• Have you ever deserted, or betrayed, a great leader?
• Have you ever smothered a baby?
• Do you deserve to have any friends?
• Have you ever castrated anyone?
• Do you deserve to be enslaved?
• Is there any question on this list I had better not ask you again?
• Have you ever tried to make the physical universe less real?
• Have you ever zapped anyone?
• Have you ever had a body with a venereal disease? If so, did you spread it?
So strange.
