I decided to make a page elsewhere and give a link here when I have completed that page, for reasons of continuity. I made a few collages between 6-13 and 6-17 that I could not upload because of problems with the tool, regardless of which computer I used, so it is obvioously an in house problem that I do not wish to work on anymore. Thus, I will place here the entry I did not post on 6-17-2006 and then come back later with the new page link which gives the last few collages made. This is where I left off right before vacation:

 

“Mel Fisher’s most famous quotation “Today’s the Day!” became a reality on July 20, 1985. After 16 years of hardship and determination, he had finally discovered the “Mother Lode” of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, the richest Spanish treasure galleon ever lost in the Western Hemisphere. “

 

“Today’s the day”, said the be-speckled visitor, who introduced himself as Mark. He said he had traveled past the property a number of times, and he said he kept hoping to stop because the yard was so “intriguing”. I laughed and said I had not considered using that word to describe what was going on here, but would consider it.  He said the parking space was available he said to himself, “today’s the day”, and got out of his car. We talked about a place in Cincinnati that he and his partner were trying to sell, in Prospect Hill, and that he and his partner now live in Vevay. We talked a little about “the yard” and the work I have done here since moving in. At the point when we were discussing the edible part of the garden I said he should take home a bag of lettuce, since I couldn’t possibly eat it all. About that point, my beau came back home and we went over the who’s and how’s of the moment. My visitor said next time I would be on the receiving end of a kindness. I laughed, telling him it is the Italian in me, no one can come and not leave with food, lol.

 

Atochian treasures…they showed up in my anagramming), so I looked up the Atocha online and found, sure enough, “Today’s the day!” {The] “Atocha coin wonderful reference, explain who lost it, define way I live, IC You sense code is chest” came from the two cartoon balloons which contained the text, “How can you tell the difference [and] I can’t explain it sir, the code cases were only out of view for only seconds.” I put that in m collage today with the front page of AOL that shows a man with the words CODE ENFORCEMENT written on the back of his jacket, and the article headlines: “City Stops Man Digging for Gold”.

 

That’s as far as I got…a little disappointed that the MS upload tool was not working properly. It cannot be MY computer, since it did not work on either computer, and I checked online and saw others were having a problem as well. Who knows, but it has spoiled my fun and interest in trying to post, when I cannot do so without my collages being part of my daily journaling. I will have to decide what I want to do at this point. Of course, as of tomorrow, I will be in Kansas City, then Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Oh boy.

 

C’est la vie…more or less.

That was what was written before the vacation....this is the link made for reasons of continuity, including the collages with anagrams made before I left, which could not be uploaded on this site:

tired of the photo upload not working on here

A brother's birthday is today. He is 49, physically, and about maybe 4-years old mentally. He is a multiply handicapped individual whom I love dearly. I am thinking of him today. I do not get to see him as oftem as I would like, now that I have moved.

 

Dance/walk like an Egyptian…Well, it is funny, Judson Laipply (the dancer I mentioned a while back) was one of AOL’s top stories yesterday in entertainment: (http://journals.aol.com/aolvideo/AOLVideoBlog/entries/129) My daughter sent me the original link, which I put in my journal when she saw it (last month I guess); she said it made her happy, and I am sure it makes others happy, too. So I am glad the comedian has the exposure.

 

Two collages today, one using the same text I have been using a few days, cartoons, and today's uses different cartoon text anagrams, with a little twist, more personal to me than the world I think. Today I used two separate cartoon bubbles and combined them:

 

"How can you tell the difference?" [and] " I can't explain it sir. The Code cases were out of view only seconds."

 

These anagrammed referred to Leonardo's codex and back to the Last Supper (again), asking the viewer to look at the original painting versus that which has been "restored", and noticing differences like where the feet are in the painting. A little.synesthesia came up, and part of an "over the hedge" toon worked out nicely for a subtle da vincian view.

 

Being a little different is just what God wants for me...according to Agnes, at least, lol.

 

I put two older links on for those who have not seen them:

http://mywebpage.netscape.com/rii4u/page5.html 

 

and one of my favorite photos is on this page:

I hope you understand why.

After mentioning da Vinci’s Last Supper again, and seeing the wash on the upper wall, it should be no surprise that in a cartoon there is a certain wash going on… cartoons are such a riot these days.

 

Again I used the anagrams, same words, this time also used most of a Broom Hilda cartoon, and made connections via “Russ’s art”, among others, and a little something about codes, etc. Turned out somewhere between BC and the Wizard of Id, Moses and Christ showed up in the mix…must be in the DNA, lol. The way I see things, is definitely different.

 

Sunday…time for my news paper, and your 611a (today's jpeg). I just noticed a 611 was where I was a year ago in the h2ogenius journal. How time flies...

I am unsure what day I starting writing this, probably the 8th:

 

“Australian researchers say magnetic fields could make ordinary people capable of extraordinary mental feats.”  (http://www.physorg.com/news68958001.html)

 

There was a study about whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS, can improve a healthy person's ability to guess accurately the number of elements in a scene. It was reported that of the 12 participants 10 improved their ability to guess immediately following treatment.

 

Hmmm, I am sure I read that correctly, that the ability to “guess” was improved, so I imagine living under high-tension wires could have helped me develop super guess powers, had I stayed there longer. I used to live under high-tension wires. That accounts for where I am now, I suppose, sitting here without extraordinary guess powers, since the guess powers go away a short time after treatment. Like the Batman’s Riddler, that reminds me of that interesting outfit of punctuation marks. At this juncture, I find a picture of the Riddler, and start inverting colors on the figure, as I did with my mars global images. Not exactly an extraordinary feat, but it gave me an interesting perspective on the figure…”go figure”, the background font, was a nice find, too, I thought.

 

Next feat…

 

Cartoons.

 

I am a couple of days behind again, been doing yard work, removing paint from windows, other stuff. I remember, after reading the above, I had done a jpeg with the Riddler, to tie in with whatever I was doing, and saw in the chest of the figure, a smiley wink face, so I put that on there. One of these “;9” translated into a smiley picture. Before that I had done some inversions on NASA photos and a puzzle, so I was kinda’ cued in to doing another inversion for some reason.

 

There was that sentence from a cartoon (get Fuzzy) that stuck with me, so I figured more anagramming was in order. Another cartoon showed up with a muzzle in it, after I found that word in the anagram, so I used what I found. He’s as clueless as a misprinted crossword puzzle became many things over the next day.

 

“He’s as clueless as a misprinted crossword puzzle” rearranged to:

1.props used at roswell’s crash cia denies muzzles

2.ships are close, trespass in world caused muzzles

 

So I figured those two were together for a reason, and the rest of that collage just makes connections, like “league” which I had used 20,000 leagues in a recent entry, and other things. The other collage got interesting. I remembered using part of the Lord’s supper picture in the past week, so when I anagrammed and saw written what I had looked at when I went to the site where you can do close-ups around the walls where the Last Supper painting is, well, I decided it was supposed to be what came out of it today. The words turned into a pair of concepts that have to do with what is on the walls:

 

“He’s as clueless as a misprinted crossword puzzle” rearranged to:

1. essene cut a messiah’s wall cord Lord’s supper sizz
2. Lord’s supper scene, rolls sit, acid washes mezuzas

 

I had to look that one up, I had never heard of a mezuza (mezuzah/mezuzas) before.

 

The B.C. toon had the word “trussed” in it, so I used that too: from the same words “He’s as clueless as a misprinted crossword puzzle “ I anagrammed “parson trussed piazza’s success, resoled him well”

 

Hmmm…Garfield said, “You can pick ‘em all right” and I decided to place that bit of cartoon there too, because from the Last Supper page, at http://milano.arounder.com/category/fullscreen/IT000005356.html  I noticed on the wall a pair of pares…yeah, I picked a pair all right, lol.

 

Enjoy my fun; the order these were made is (names of files) a-riddler, 6-8a, 6-8b and 6-10, and who knows how they will come up after uploading. Of course, everything has an order, and then there is everyone's own order, not to be confused with mine, lol.

Charmed is on TV, just as I was finishing up the second collage/montage, I heard them use the word dream a couple of times, and figured I was done with that collage as it was the same wqord I was on. I have switched random words for anagramming. From Get Fuzzy I chose the words, "He's as clueless as a misprinted crossword puzzle." I turned that into a couple of things that matched up with some of today's cartoons or previous entries:

"what ripples across suns sizzles som, read clues." and used the Opus toon again and saw it worked in with another part of it.

 

Sharpen your mind with mindless dribble!

I write for a moment, to begin digestion, having just eaten dinner...checking my emails:

 

In my mail, the physorg http://www.physorg.com/news68796309.html

Researchers find hidden Greek text on 'world's oldest astronomy computer'. The researchers are also looking at the broader remains of the Roman ship -- believed to have sunk around 80 BC -- for clues to the Mechanism's origin. Sounds like a cool “device” to me. I like hearing about the revelations of items found in shipwrecks, etc. Speaking of Revelations…I wrote this about 7:00 pm on June 6^th, and many have attributed [today’s] numeric date as something of significance for the devil. I looked that numeric page up in my Bible once, and found on it the words “Let God be magnified,” and since then, the devil has had to go elsewhere without any notice from me.

 

Stargate SG-1 (episode Revelations) was just on the Sci-fi channel at the moment I wrote the word “device” in the last paragraph, with Carter repeating the word “device” as part of the script, so I guess I heard what I was supposed to hear. It was actually just going off. The 4400 show came on and apparently the new season is about to come up, so they have shown it on the sci-fi channel. I had not seen it before yesterday. The show’s episode was Life Interrupted, where Thomas, the main character, is the only one who remembers the 4400 ever existed.

 

I had a moment like that once, where I thought I had just read something in the Bible, and then the next time I went back to read about it, it was gone and I could never find the reference again. As though whatever I had read originally, never existed. I wish I could find the scrap paper on which I wrote what I had read there…and it was a few years ago, so it is probably gone now, but not necessarily so. I have a tendency to keep a lot of little pieces of paper because of something that occurred at a particular moment in time.

 

And at this particular moment in time, I am done writing…and will finish watching the show.

The weather is perfect outside and at some point, I will go for a walk. First things, first, I have two collages, one I did yesterday and the one I did this morning. I was still angramming from two toons from last week, and of course, was able to see some correlation in more toons and more rearrangements. I especially liked the rock in Sheldon's cartoon, to go with the " rock is there" part of the anagram, and the conversation in Newton and Copernicus that had to do with " a lot". The words "You're the only one who'll see it [and] your backward ideas" became: Why yes, you are sane, oort cued link, helio world beta...and of course, the other one was "beyond heard, one way you will use a lot, rock is there".  Believe it or not, the ziggy toon says you are here, and that's all you need to know for now, lol.

 

I like the way I see things. I woke up this morning to the hype about the date, and think it is pretty funny. If there is a devil out there, a lot of folks sure are making fun of him, so I doubt he'll have much credibility anymore. In yesterday's collage (on today's entry) there are some fun correlations there too. Enjoy today's synchronicity and the montages. The words "You're the only one who'll see it [and] your backward ideas" were turned into "You'll carry or else you sit down on bed awake, he he" which matches the cartoons used next to the text, where someone is asking "Carry me?" and in the other toon the there is a definite sit on the bed awake illustration.

 

At the bottom of that collage is a nasa picture of the big red spot on Jupiter. I saw it yesterday, copied it, pasted it, mirrored it, turned it upside down and also inverted the colors so it looks like a cool pair of sunglasses.

The natural order of things is being revealed...using the same words previously used, "you're the only one who'll see it [and] your backward ideas", matching cartoons as they come, the natural order cafe showed up in the anagramming, and so did the oort cloud. Apparently "travel" is no big deal out there.

 

Life just gets more interesting, doesn't it? I had problems uploading on the other computer, went to the Spaces help, followed directions for uninstalling the photo tool and then noticed it not only deinstalled that, it deinstalled all the registries on the computer. Nice hack. Fortunately, there really IS an oort cloud.

 

Enjoy the collages.

I couldn't help but notice a story about what is being called an alien face found inside a duck, or at least making an appearance on the x-ray...so the x-ray will now be another ebay item...yessiree, you can find everything on e-bay these days, lol...

 

funny the things one finds inside a ribcage these days...
