Auction

10:48am JST Monday 21 February 2005

Man. I pretty much can't read the Japanese on the Yahoo Japan Auction: New Item Submission page.

I got through the picture upload part, and the title/desription part, but that's just cause I know computer stuff.

I think I figured out the payment information part using worldlingo's free online translator, but some of the translations were wack, and I'm not confident I understand what the translations are all talking about anyway.

Below that it gets into escrow services and all kinds of pricing stuff that I just don't want to cut-copy-paste-translate all of it, when some translators will be in my building later tonight.

I drifted between Focus 10 and dreaming sleep during that exercise. I dreamt a bit about entering data on a language translation website. I missed the part where he told us how we could become immediately awake. I got the part where he told us how to recall any memory we've ever had.

HAM radio

1:36pm JST Monday 21 February 2005

<p>I first heard about HAM radio from Mr Hamm.  I was never interested
in it, but I kinda am now.  Only in the slightest way, though; I don't
want a full blown operator license; I just want to be tracked via APRS
while TJ Bike and I tour around the country.  Did some research and it
seems that I can get a call sign without taking a test; just gotta buy
the right equipment and sign some kinda form that they'll process.</p>

Nice margins.

Keys

3:30pm JST Monday 21 February 2005

Somehow I've misplaced my keys effectively enough that I believe I don't have them with me on my way to work. I was going to take TJ Bike, but if I can't lock him up, then he ain't going.

I walked to the station and used my GPS to determine my high-normal walking speed is right around 4 miles per hour.

Work

12:03am JST Tuesday 22 February 2005

Work was fun. Had two lovely lessons with Makiko, who is even more beautiful now that she is pregnant. I agree with Jay who described her as stunning.

She has one last lesson at Gaba. And she's chosen to have it with me tomorrow. I'm so honored. :-)

- - - -

Kimiko, who I rarely see, chose me for her Level Up Test. She failed it. 53%. Afterward, the teachers in the breakroom were like, "you failed her on the test?" as if it couldn't be done. We're always supposed to be uplifting and encouraging.

I was like, "she failed the test. I'm not going to lie to her and tell her she is learning English without studying." That would be a disservice to her.

- - - -

Had a guy named Yu. I resisted every and all puns that came to my mind.

"I'm Rob."

"I'm Yu."

"(No, I'm me.) Nice to meet you, Yu."

"Nice to meet you, too."

"Nice to meet you, too, Yu."

-

"Okay, Yu, I thank Yu for a great lesson."

"Thank you, too."

"I just did."

"See you later."

"You'll see Yu sooner than I see Yu."

etc.

found keys

12:21am JST Tuesday 22 February 2005

I was certain my keys must be in my room. I took my bed apart piece by piece but didn't find them. Dug through all the crap on the floor, but didn't find them.

Found them in my underwear drawer, into which they had fallen from the top of my bureau thing.
