Dream

10:17am JST Friday 16 September 2005

Madonna went to a recordng studio in 1978 and became famous for her professional sounding vocals; she was signed onto Island records that year.

I was walking between the University of Houston campus, where students were sliding around in the mud bog in the front of the entrance, and Rice University campus, where students were building scale models of parks and fields and other outdoor terrain.

There were some cut ups on each campus, but by far, Rice was more focused on studies.

I walked past a cage on Rice campus and saw a woman standing in chains at the back of the cage. I was like, "are you happy to be trapped?" She goes "yeah, but if you could get me some water, that would be great." I was like, "who's your manager?" and she gave me a name like, "Fred" so I turned around toward where all the students were building their scale model things and yelled, "Fred! Your talent needs some water!!" She thanked me, and I went on my way.

Eon

11:43am JST Friday 16 September 2005

To fill in the blanks on this, I entered "era" "period" and "epoch" into Google Sets, and it instantly came back with four items: "Period" "Era" "Epoch" and "Eon" as the missing name. Awesome!

I googled those words plus "holecine" [sic] and it asked if I meant "holocene," which I assured it I did.

I found a short geologic timescale in the results. The long version has lots of juicy details. I knew about Pangaea, but I didn't know about Rodinia!!!!

Okay, back to transcribing.

Today

8:43pm JST Friday 16 September 2005

Have been transcribing pretty well today. Am now on my way to Matt the artist and Emi the P.B. superwoman's housewarming at their new apartment, which I've heard has an art gallery in the bottom. Awesome.

party at Matt and Emi's

11:38pm JST Friday 16 September 2005

The party seems to be just warming up; Audrey, Brandt, Natalie have just arrived; Greg and his gang have not arrived yet; I am sure I will be here overnight. Some people are going home, though, so I ain't 100% sure.

2:40am JST Saturday 17 September 2005

Matt and Caroline are spewing scads of なつかしい British and Aussie TV / movie trivia, most of which I've never heard before. Natalie is close to sleep, and I am just listening.

5am JST Saturday 17 September 2005

We are putting in a movie: "Me and Hair" or something like that.
