12:36am JST Tuesday 7 December 2004

This morning I slept a lot. Meditated some (until I fell asleep), wrote a letter to Chez, mailed it, bought some groceries, cooked, ate, read Bill Bryson's book on the universe, shaved, went to work, read

3:38am

from the Journal of Near Death Experiences, set up a study time with Hitomi, and soon thereafter got an offer from Louise to watch a DVD at her place after work.

"D'oh!" thought the part of me that would like to think I still have a chance with her.

Finished work, rode Mimibike to Saizeria, met Hitomi, studied a bit, rode home with Hitomi, wrote the first paragraph of this entry, read a few chapters of Bill Bryson's book, took a shower and wrote the rest of this entry.

At work I suggested the name "Moon Mask Moisturizer" for a product name (and offered it for 100,000 yen to the person who wanted it).

Quotes by me:

It takes longer to live a biography than to read one.

or

It's easier to read a biography than to live one.

and

The choice of college is both arbitrary and will affect the rest
of your life.

I am reminded of this one specifically and my quotes in general because I was pondering a generalization of it: "nothing matters, but everything makes a difference." or "nothing matters, except to change the entire future."

Because I was standing in the shower thinking about the nature of reality after reading a usenet comment: "there is no objective reality; observation always affects the observed," and trying to rectify that idea and my assertion that the shampoo bottle I was holding was made of a material (that we call plastic) and had coloration patterns on it (that we call letters) and the patterns were not changing.

Even if we argue that they are changing, ever so slowly deteriorating, is that deterioration caused or affected by me looking at the bottle? If yes, why and how? Religion and Science Wondertwin Powers, Activate!
