I don't want to mount a big battery to my hat or carry some steam engine in a pack. I used a copper wire and a regular steel nail in a jalapeno. I got from 0 to about 2 volts. Although it's about half a volt, the current is only about 2 to 4 milliamps.I need more amps to generate the astral portal in the lenses.Once again using the same Ms. Angelica Boronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17520410936863357040noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051711199060241848.post-81060560447633997972009-04-16T12:10:00.010-05:002009-04-17T20:49:22.243-05:00Tragic HistoryMy realtor's office is in a small home several blocks from downtown. He offered me tea, which I accepted, and asked how I was settling in. I wasn't about to tell him the real story, instead I said I was doing well and enjoying the property. I then inquired about the history of the home. When it was built and who the previous owners were."Oh that's all boring documentations.

I received a flowery post card from my Aunt Shirley and Uncle Fred in Central Missouri. I bought a new peach dress and white parasol for the Easter Parade. I do enjoy bright colors.The mailman also brought a letter."My dear Miss Boron,I have sent you a Parcel, one whichshould presently arrive at your newHome, containing two more Booksfor your Library.OnceMs. Angelica Boronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17520410936863357040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051711199060241848.post-49764670259672411962009-04-14T22:25:00.003-05:002009-04-14T01:25:32.482-05:00Disturbia: 140 Cherish LaneI was so disturbed about the mechanical child I just had to do something. I took the trolley downtown to the police station. There was a stern faced officer at the front desk. After introducing myself I explained the situation and he raised his brow, surely he thought I was a loony. He asked me "What's your name again?"

I've checked and rechecked the attic door to make sure it's locked.Part of the attic is an improvised nursery for my seedlings. Old kitchen pots, pans, and fancier seed starter trays are stacked on overturned crates beneath the windows. The room is finished, wall papered in yellow with white flowers. White curtains on the windows and oil lamps mounted on the walls.

I decided not to lock my kitchen. Having someone cook for me will give me even more time to spend in the lab. Any special components will be kept in the lab. I'll begin interviews but anyone I hire won't start until the lab is secure.I spoke with a locksmith today and decided on an iron padlock for the labMs. Angelica Boronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17520410936863357040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051711199060241848.post-45416196757321407472009-04-09T19:43:00.002-05:002009-04-09T19:02:50.764-05:00Magick Pills and WineReceived an electronic post from Khem Caigan a scholar of the occult arts.928.

It turned out fairly well. My room is marked with the star.This is the largest home I've ever lived in. There were so many nooks and crannies. I spent most of yesterday cleaning and preparing for dinner. I've cleaned the parlor, dining room, water closet, and kitchen.

Dr. Richard Nagg is the proprietor and inventor of such wonders as the Datamancer laptop and opti transcripticon. The farm sale didn't leave me rich but I can live comfortably until I start selling potions and other beauty supplies again.Anyway, this invention uses a series of Ms. Angelica Boronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17520410936863357040noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051711199060241848.post-40553933676051740372009-04-07T11:54:00.004-05:002009-04-21T12:04:32.967-05:00Broken GlassMost of this morning has been spent setting up my lab in the cellar. My kitchen isn't even properly set up nor anything else for that matter. I'm pleased that the small windows open to allow for fresh air because it was a bit dank in the corners. I put on my long leather gloves and apron, gathered few grams of mildew samples, and spent the next hour or so scrubbing.

There is much to learn from Mother Nature. She is the mistress of cycles: life and death, seasons, weather. Ultimately she is the mistress of change.All things are in a constant flux. As an alchemist it is my goal, my life's work, to understand celestial and natural secrets so I may nudge matters in the right direction.I have various Ms. Angelica Boronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17520410936863357040noreply@blogger.com1
