Gizmo Glitz!
The newest gizmo to make it into my field of vision is my digital voice recorder. I have high hopes.
Note, this particular gizmo has been in my possession for some time. The problem is, every time I try to use it I get self conscious about talking to myself and I end up not saying anything worth saying at all. I began liking the idea of the voice recorder on my ghost hunting trip with the Drivler, but let's face it, we would pretty much just dualing banjos the recorders to try outdo each other's mock professionalism. In other words, we were looking for humor--not insight.
Since that time, my wife bought me a digital voice recorder and I have used it to no effect whatsoever except that I've recorded me reading a few poems, but otherwise, nada.
My goal now is to just get used to the damn thing, and how I'm doing that is by recording little stray thoughts that I have throughout the day. It is, because of this, turning out to be a kind of skitzophrenic surrealist intellectual excercise in minute and a half clips.
My note for today concerned, for instance, the word "amen." Is that Hebrew? If so, what does it mean? Given that Exodus involves the children of Israel in bondage in Egypt, is there any possability that Amen is related somehow to Amon (as in Amon Ra, Amon Ho Tep, etc.)? And if so, well...that's weird.

Uh, yeah. That would be weird. I'm still working on my coffee this morning, but this reminds me of the pronunciation quandary that I associate with the Amen. Is it pronounced Ah-men, or Ay-men? This is very important, as a prayer improperly closed might by worth nothing at all! What if only prayers closed with Ah-men worked? I'd be screwed!
Did you blog about that ghost hunting trip?
You know, I never really did blog about that trip. That was probably blog worthy. The Drivler kept calling dibs on it, but then, hell, he isn't writing shit. There ought to be a statute of limitations on this sort of thing, right?
