I did not understand until just today, the 23rd, that the 21st was Hemingway’s birthday, so that’s another important Buffynicity. I started seeing Margo and Ernest on Hemingway’s birthday.

On Thursday the 24th:

Pursuant to the “gay shirt” Buffynicity I recorded yesterday, today I was out walking to one of the locations where I work and I noticed a man whose shirt had similar proclivities. I thought it was funny but I wasn’t going to record it until later that day one of my male co-workers complimented me on my own shirt, which is an extremely manly Ralph Lauren shirt, but is a blue print covered with tiny gold flowers that could be convinced to swing the other way on a hot night downtown after a few drinks, like at an R.E.M. concert or something. So the Buffynicities continue.

I started watching “Million Dollar Baby” last night and the first Buffynicity was that Frankie was asking the priest about god being three in one, after I discovered this week that Margot Roth Spiegelman is three in one, the Avocado girl.

The next was that I saw an article about this guy in the afternoon:

Kenneth Washington was in Hogan’s Heroes – and I had just been thinking of that show last week, anyway – and then in the movie Frankie is talking to “Hogan” on the phone, setting up a fight.

So that’s two, but it got late, and I have to return the DVD to the library, so I’ll have to finish it next week. It’s amazing, though. It’s a good old-fashioned movie, a real one. Clint Eastwood is a great director, and I’m getting more enthusiastic about movies now.

On Friday the 25th: I got home last night and found out that Hulk Hogan died yesterday, so add this to the Buffynicity, making it a triple on a very magical day.

On Sunday August 3rd: I haven’t had the focus to continue this post, but today I have to record that I wound up casting Hulk Hogan as Colonel Gideon Thorne in my novel, the ArtIC Circle, and I feel it’s one of the more powerful decisions I’ve made. His “presence” is clearing my astral visions and making Jesus clearer for me. My life makes a lot more sense now. I wanted to record that immediately because it’s important.

I believe Hulk was serious about Jesus, even if he had flaws, even if they were deep flaws that were hidden by the PR machine of pro wrestling – I’m not saying they were but even if they were I’m still glad I put him in my story. He has changed the basic quality of it, and I’m looking forward to finding the approach to writing about Jesus in the 21st century that I need somehow aided by his presence.
