Wow. Nice when things just line up so perfectly!

(*) My battery ran out while I was typing in the taxi, so now I'm at Gaba on their computer and dead computer battery on my Mac.

Anyway, the shoot was pretty short and easy. I met a couple of theater people: Lindsey (sp), Robert, and Matt were models today. Jimmy da Magnet's brother Riko (sp) was behind the camera consulting with the company JETCO (?) for whom the photos were being taken. They are a consulting company that works to get foreign investors in Japan. So we were looking at charts and stuff on the table and BSing about whatever charts we had in front of us, or actually introducing ourselves. "Yeah, so I'm planning to ride my bike around Japan," etc. Pretty fun.

Photos were taken in four different locations, and I was in the scene for three of those locations. I was not in the scene for all of the situations "okay, now the consultant talks to Lindsay (sp)... okay now Lensey (sp) stands over here..." etc. So it's conceivable that I won't be in any of the final shots, but the money is still in my wallet, so it's allll good.

I'm an hour early here to Gaba, and I had the last two lessons of my day empty, so I closed those. And my student tracker shows me that the second student of my day is a hardcore smoker; I'm overwhelmed each time he comes to my booth. I'm going to ask that he is moved to another teacher.

Ah; I can also go get a disposable tape measure from Muji; I need to measure the knotboards. Cool.

Oh; I almost forgot. Because Lindsee (sp) et. al. are theater people, they were talking about the upcoming show that Louise has invited me to. I therefore began to think I should make arrangements to get those tickets from her.

Upon arrival at Gaba, Louise was there. "Hey, you want some tickets for the show?"

Perfect! So I bought two for January 30th.

She invited me to go to her house tonight to watch movies. But I don't have my computer power supply (argh), so I invited her to my place to watch. She said she'll think about it. (her place is walking distance from Gaba)

I'm up way too late for my own good of waking up tomorrow at 7:40, but I got my days old thing working nearly the way I want. Given perfect input, it will calculate the date I will be a certain number of days old. It uses perl's localtime and timelocal which means two things: 1) it's fast. 2) it doesn't have a very big range.

The previous code could mess with dates between 1568 (?) and 9999. This code can only do dates from 1970 to 2020 or so. Not so impressive. But it's fast.

I don't really care to write a version that can handle a larger span of dates. I just want to know how old *I* am, and 1970 as a bottom range fits that bill. I might might might do more later.
