Entries this day: Dreams Guest_Hunger_day hi_janette.txt Dreams 8:55am MST Tuesday 09 August 2005 Shawn got up to go to my class, and then I realized it was a dream, so I woke up, but he was really gone, so maybe it wasn't a dream. Today we are experiencing hunger as we are willing/able to do. I plan not to eat until tomorrow morning. Koji was flying a kite back and forth in the house. He told me he didn't have any money, so I was watching him from the yard, and his kite was on the left hand side, and he turned around, and it was still flying well. Phat Pat was walking around in a sleeping bag and I was like, "hey Pat, come here; I wanna show you something" but he walked away. Brandt opened up a kiosk where he was selling gum he found on the ground unchewed. Hitomi came up and asked if she could get a discount on hang gliding, cause she only had $12, I was like, "you can fly for free for one minute, and if you like it, you can pay later." She took more than one minute. I have to get up soon to teach Shawn's class. permalinkGuest Hunger day 2:19pm MST Tuesday 09 August 2005 Today for Guest Teacher Day, I taught Shawn's classes and he taught my classes. Today is hunger day; I and several other people on the boat are not eating. Tonight we gain an hour, so it's an extra hour to be hungry! 4:10pm MST Tuesday 09 August 2005 Some people are like, "OH I'M SO HUNGRY!!!" and I'm like "whateva; I'm a bit hungry, but." It's the same as me being out here saying, "IT IS SO COLD!!!" and some people would be like, "it ain't that cold." But serious, it is fuckin' frigid out here; they wouldn't know what they would be talking about. I just sent janette an email! I still need to videotape the boat like a video tour. There are Hunger Day lectures going on in Windjammer and in Broadway. The Windjammer one just finished. 8:10pm MST Tuesday 09 August 2005 I haven't eaten in basically 24 hours. I'm hungry, but I'm more hungry for sex; I want to chew on someone, anyone; yargh. There is just no where on the boat to hook it up. I might go get some sugar (actual literal sugar), but I'm also thinking "rar! no food! only water..." permalinkhi janette.txt Hi janette!!! Do you remember the rabbit that was hanging in my room when you came to visit me in Japan? Wait wait wait - remember when you came to Japan *TWICE* ???? Oh My God that was so great!!! Anyway, there was a rabbit hanging on the wall. Colleen Crotty had sent it to me in April 2003 for Easter. That nameless rabbit came with me on P-B as opposed to being discarded with a lot of my other stuff when I got rid of my apartment. He went with me to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and posed for various photos. While on tour in Jordan, I asked the woman next to me (whose name... get this... is Ai (pronounced "I" / "eye" / "aye")) to suggest a name for the rabbit. Without thinking she said, "Francois." I was like, "no man; a real name." She goes, "Hiroyuki." "Um.. actually Francois is perfect!" So Francois went to Petra (Jordan), the pyramids in Egypt, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Ireland, New York, Jamaica, Panama Canal, Costa Rica, and in Acapulco he went scuba diving with me!!! (I have pictures of him with fish). After Acapulco, I saw Shunji (the 11 or 12 year old skinny Japanese kid who likes to run up to me and repeatedly ask "What are you doing? What are you doing?" and then collapse in hysterics on the floor) and threw Francois to him. Shunji, being 12, ran off and apparently discarded the rabbit somewhere. A couple days later, there was a ransom note and pictures of Francois on the classroom computers. He had been rabbitnapped! They demanded I write a poem over 50 words describing my love for the rabbit, and I just wanted to share that with you. ------------ Ode to Francois: My dearest adorable rabbit I fearest starting a habit I love everything about you, and I cannot live without you. Your eyes so cute and mouth so mute Ears flopped at either side You are my joy and my pride May the fates not scorn me and my mates all support thee with great speed home swiftly not too late for a spot of tea as we gaze over the sea or graze in Topaz Dining. I won't again let thee out of my direct sight, see by giving you to Shunji I lost my dear buddy With tears in my eyes I finish the lines and hope you'll come back to me. May it be no surprise I'll massage the spines of your captors when they release thee. ------------ A day later there were more demands, which I followed to the letter, but *not* all as intended. 1) Shave the left side of your head !) I shaved the left side of my head, and the right side of my head. 2) Wear your shirts backwards till Vancouver @) I'm wearing a shirt that says, "YOUR SHIRTS BACKWARDS TILL VANCOUVER" 3) Remove that ugly toenail polish #) It had been on for a few weeks and was getting chipped so I got a new coat of hot pink. 4) Recite "Ode to Francois" at the next GET Meeting. $) I did this one as asked, and Kim got it on video. That was yesterday; there was a big party last night and I think his captors were too drunk to make more demands; I haven't heard anything more today. ----------- In other news, I am planning to go to Palestine/Israel in October and November to work for an NGO there. That will be after I attend an Iraq war protest in Washington in late September. If you know any YRUUers also going to that protest, I'd love to get connected. With Love Love Love Love - Rob! permalinkprev day next day |
