At first I thought I could get the

Warhammer 40K Horus Heresy novels at Audrey's books but after checking their online ordering system, some of the books are out of print. They have a lot of them at various EBay sores of course but that would mean to get all 22 books (and growing) I'd have to go through a lot of stores on EBay. Then I thought maybe Games Workshop in West Edmonton Mall (WEM) might have them. They've got them listed but I'll call tomorrow to see if they have them all in stock. I wont get them all at once but at least it gives me an reason to visit WEM now, and under construction, there's a Best Buy store being put together in the mall. 
 Anne doesn't like me feeding Boots milk from my breakfast in the morning because it causes him to have the runs but I didn't know about this until after I took this photo:

Monday night Raw was pretty good this evening and on a scale from 1-10, I'd rate it about a 9. I knew something was going to interrupt the polygraph (lie detector) test

I was going to go into work this afternoon for 4 hours but Anne had taken the bus pass to put the rent in the bank and didn't get home until 5:30pm and I had no money to get downtown except what was on my ATM and its not like ETS passengers can buy a single ticket from the machine or anything. So this week, its in for 8 hours for Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm going to try for 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours for the afternoon losing an hour but Thursday evening its Lodge and Friday its the hangover and my banking and then Saturday I'm (hopefully) going to WEM for those Warhammer books. Anyway, that's about it for me for now.

Well it was 25 years


ago, Friday was our infamous "Black Friday." hard to believe it was 25 years ago on that afternoon. I was 34 years old working for the Army & Navy Cobogo warehouse (now called Cobogo lofts) I recall a torrent of rain while I was standing on the roof of Cobogo enjoying the rain on a slow work day. I didn't know what was really happening until I got home (9710 156th street #305) about 5pm that afternoon. When I got home my caretaker (I was paying the rent) had said how we had got a Tornado. We were looking at the sky from her 2nd floor balcony facing West and some of the clouds were actually green. I got a call from my parents living back home in Coquitlam BC (lower mainland) hoping I was alright. On the news later it had been confirmed that 27 people had been killed. It still brings back memories 25 years later.
 
At this moment, I'm not that far away from the location in this video.

We'll I'm back to work in the morning. Not a lot going on for today. It's just a regular 8 hour working day.

I was reading in "Above Top Secret" just now that James Holmes' father is Robert Holmes who is about to testify within the next few weeks before a US Senate panel on the largest bank fraud scandal in world history that is currently unfolding and threatens to destabilize and destroy the Western banking system. I don't know if we can connect the dots here or anything but it's interesting coincidence.

Apparently James Rhodes is still going to be playing the role of Captain America "The Winter soldier." This is the working title of the proposed film and I hope they stick with it. I like it. Captain America is one of my favorite comic book hero’s, still is.

Coast has a bunch of soft shows this week. Nothing to get excited about.

There's only 2 CFL games on this week because it's a by week. Two teams from the East and Two teams from the West play. Four teams only 2 games until all teams have a week off. Maybe there's a MLB game I can parley against the two teams. or I might just wait until the normal schedule returns in week #8. The CFL does this every year. Anyway, that's about all for now.

Ahh the memories

Tom Cruise has been under the spotlight lately and not for making movies but more to do with his beliefs in Scientology. I remember my first brush with Scientology. I got into it because Richard Lord (my old occult mentor from the early 1980‘s) suggested this will help me to be a bit more mentally stable because at the time I was an emotional wreck as I had invested so much energy on trying to make Ellen and I work until Richard got in the way. Mixing fundamental Christians, Aleister Crowley and Scientology is enough to make anyone go mental. Of course I really wasn’t mental as gone in the head or anything. I had just come off a court case from a non contact misdemeanor where the charges were stayed. Keep in mind I’ve never been in jail nor do I have a criminal record but I’m on their books for this, which keeps me from getting a security guards license. It was a mistake I made and one of my few regrets in life. But Richard suggested I take this course in Scientology. They had an office in this older Victorian style building not far from where Freemason Hall is now. Of course I didn’t know much about Freemasonry as I do now. The Scientology building in those days was adjacent to the First Presbyterian church. The Scientology location was adjacent to the church and it’s now a parking lot. But that was when Richard suggested I should take this Scientology course. I think I paid $20 for it. I never got as far as their e-meter “testing” but I remember playing with the plasticine toys and that’s when I thought that this was getting silly and that was it for Scientology. I remember getting into it again in 1982 when I was getting involved with Amway with Reg. Reg is now a staunch Amway critic bur in those days he was into the books and tapes the whole 9 yards. When Scientology moved out of that downtown location about 1982 I recall while living on the South Side 2 blocks behind Don Wheaton on Whyte Ave on 80th Avenue between 108th and 107th street (after Theresa left me) I used to go to the Scientology location. At that time it was adjacent to the Princess theatre on Whyte. I lost interest in Amway and Scientology by October of 1982 when I got my old job back at the Army & Navy. I look back now on those days and it was at that time I realized I should have looked more into Masonry but Masonry wasn‘t a blip on my radar screen. I was to much involved in the OTO here until 1996. Other then buying the odd book by L. Ron Hubbard and in the 1990’s their “Writers of the Future” That was my last and only brush with Scientology. When I was entering those contests I think I put in about 4 submissions and got a couple of “Thank you for your submissions” type things. Which kind of in a (Long about way) brings me back to Tome Cruise. Cruise is not the only main celebrity involved in Scientology as most everyone knows so is John Travolta among others. I don’t want to go into a huge rant about Scientology because I have nothing against them. Some people find value in Dienetics. I won‘t say it’s a cult anymore then Freemasonry is a cult. When I was involved in Amway now that was as close to a cult as ever I‘ve been in one but that‘s another story.

On a scale from 1-

10, I'd rate Monday night raw about a 6. The show had it's moments but there was a point I dozed off on the couch there for about half an hour. I didn't miss much. Its starting to get lame again.

Earlier this afternoon, I watched the 2nd half of the Argo's/Montreal CFL game and history was made: QB Anthony Calvillo made history today with a record 72,429 passing yards. That's over 18 years! Then I watched the Riders lose to Edmonton 1/17 Esks! So, I had 2/4 on my weekend Pro-line ticket come through. The only outcome I almost picked to tie was the Calgary/BC game but I picked Calgary in BC to win. Well they did by 1 point but that's a Proline tie. The out of the blue, Winnipeg shows up in Hamilton. There are 4 weeks left in the regular season and I hope I hope I win at least 1 of them.

I had a nice couple of days off what with the Oiler's winning their home season opener and the Esks win. I got MuseScore figured out and Anne went to get me some pizza with her discount. She gets 25% off. So the order would have been something like $25 I got for about $13!

I've been thinking about getting a 2nd Xbox 360 hiding it nearby in the office and hook it up to my laptop. There are several good solutions on You Tube that show how this is done. It's mostly a Windows 7 networking type thing but the operation seems to have mixed results.

I have a full day tomorrow ahead of me and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, it's 8 hours each day for 32 hours. I'll have my stat pay for today on that check so I'll have another good check next week. Saturday I'm getting a ride at Southgate to Baseline Lodge and then working next Sunday. So I won't have much of a weekend next weekend. Anyway, that's about all for now.

If it wasn't for this fan in here

I'd be eaten alive by now from all these bugs in here.


Tuesday morning I left out of here about 10:30am. I was at L&M by about 11:10am. I didn't have all the funds for my program but 95% of it is paid for. Its on Lay-a-way for me to pick up on Saturday after work.

I had a decent day getting back from 4 days off. The 1st part of the shift went by ok. I got my 6/49 ticket. I even got a $10 bonus for my check this week and next week I had dental trouble all day but I dealt with it. The Advill helped a lot and so did the oragel, more...

All in all I had a great day for my first day getting back Anyway, I'm going to head off to bed to listen to a bit of Coast. Tonight its: I search of ET life. Great.

Today William & Kate will be touring the Slave Lake fire tragedy that took place in early May. This couple are great ambasadors for the monarchy.

SF Signals Mind meld, is asking "Why has Steampunk persisted for so long?" Well mainly because it's by and large forgotten and nobody since the 1960's Wild Wild West TV series. There's more to it then that of course but essentually that's about the size of it.

Space.com has a full feature about the Space Shuttle. I skimmed over it but it looks pretty good. Anyway that's about all for now.
