Lots of YRUUers

Anna Magwood, Annie B, Austin Roth, lots of Houston local YRUUers, but the only one I remember in my dream was Meara, at some kind of party, conference thing and I was just so happy to see everyone. Annie invited me to hang out with her friends who were having a contest to see who could make their nose the most red. They were like huge wrestler looking guys with no shirts, and one guy was massaging blood vessels toward his nose and straining hard and when he said "okay" a person across the table took a picture (so all the pictures could be compared later).

or was supposed to take a picture, but had the camera turned around backwardsly and missed it. He didn't get mad about it; sometimes these things happen.

I left Annie, but I didn't want to leave, and she was like, "what's wrong?" and I was like, "I want to hang out with you all day, but so do I want to hang out with everyone all day!" She said she understood and had the same feelings about her friends.

I went over to the next table and they hadn't been certain that I would come, but it was kindof a trick, cause they didn't tell me that Anna was there! They were playing with legos and offered me a place to play as well.

I was with Erika (I think) from my ex-work in Houston and she was telling me about her dog Lucky and then I wanted to show her some program printouts from UH, but they were in a room with a really small door. Like a few inches tall and wide. I backed away from that door and found another door on the side of the room, that was still small, but large enough for us to get through. Erika had turned Japanese, for she was careful to follow procedure and sign her name on the whiteboard (which was otherwise blank) to say she was going to be in the room, but I didn't sign it because I never had in the past.

Inside, I showed her printouts with ids like ST275 (my old VAX account username at UH) and she was interested in the concept of the history, but not in the details. I told her to ask Maggie or Molly about their numbers, but I couldn't remember their usernames, and there didn't seem to be any point in asking them; the history wouldn't become any more interesting, but the twins might be prompted to tell Erika some fun UH stories.

Good bike stuff

3:43pm JST Thursday 16 September 2004

This morning I did mostly computer stuff, including toying around with World Of Where, the unlock-code for which I paid for just today. It's a cool program for Macs.

After that, I was tempted to just sleep until my next obligation (Chinese lesson at 5:30) but then I remembered that I wanted to buy a patch kit for my bike. I did that and relaxed a bit and now I'm about to ride to Yoyogi, which could take awhile so I will leave soon. Supposed to be there at 5:30. Oh I said that.

I figured, No more excuses; just go.

5:21pm

And go I went. Left my room at 4:00. Sat on my bike to go at 4:03.

At 4:26, I went by Jiyugaoka (Gaba work).

At 4:55, I went by Starbucks in Shinjuku (Japanese lesson).

At 5:13, I finished locking my bike to the fence here in Yoyogi.

At 5:21, I started writing this.

At 5:24, I finished writing this.

8:23pm

Just made it back home. I left Yoyogi at 6:47pm.
