Gateway CDs

1:56pm JST Monday 13 December 2004

Hitomi is helping me find a shop where I can buy CDs from the Gateway series, produced by The Monroe Institute. I'm excited about having them; I wonder what will come next.

I survived work today. Didn't kill anyone as I predicted I might. The first 6 students (including one double lesson) were between good and great, and the last one is a student who chooses my lessons more often than I would choose his lessons.

What karma is there?

"Gosh, she is beautiful" Mai told me about a place where I can make molten glass objects for 3000 yen for a four hour lesson or something like that. Sounds pretty cool! And by cool, I mean *HOT*! 1200 degrees, she said, and I assume that's C.

I'm about to get ready for bed and use my new CD walkman and noise cancellation headphones to listen to my first Gateway CD/tape in about 5 years. (probably longer, but I'm really not sure how long it's been)

My idea is to listen to the CDs, noting the time of day, and all the other pertinant variables that I might want to know after however many odd years of data collection, and then write some amazing document about my experiences.

One thing that I've considered as an item is which nostrils I can breathe through easily. My sinuses seems to be clogged everyday, sometimes changing with the hour which side is clear. But very often, it's exactly one side xor the other.

Okay, tooth brushing time, in case I flat fall asleep.

I fell asleep a couple of different times, definitely near the end. I noticed near the beginning I didn't really seem able to hear the secondary oscillations. Also, my right heel felt pain, due to a rather large callous and my feet being pointing right up. I tilted my right knee out to get the pressure off my right heel. During the vocalization part of the exercise, I heard high pitched squeaking in the right ear, even though I turned the noise cancelation off in my headphones (due to them causing a noticeable hiss with noise cancelation on).

My feet felt hot in the beginning; Woke up in the middle; aborted; not in the mood to finish.
