Dream

8:37am ART Monday 20 February 2006

In a labrynthian hotel slash school I needed to go number 2, but I wasn't able to find a bathroom without people all around. I walked through a multi-level bathing area with streams of water and baths, looking for the toilets, but didn't find them.

Down a hallway around another corner I found Petra talking to some of her friends. She wanted to talk to me about something so I was like, "walk with me to a bathrom as we talk" and we found one shortly, but she wasn't done with her story so we walked a bit further into a scary dark construction area of the hotel and a water guy was just zipping up his pants as he came back to his post by the door and we stood nearby and talked, but then heard a voice coming from behind me in this cupboard, from underneath some plastic, accusing me, "why did you do this to me, Rob?"

I was scared shitless and disclaimed any wrongdoing, "I just cloned you; it wasn't my fault!" and ran with Petra back down to the restroom we had seen and I pulled her inside and into the shower behind the curtain while I sat down to take care of business. I locked the door, but it was glass and I was totally afraid the monster clone girl would come get me.

So scary!!

Foodage

9:35am ART Monday 20 February 2006

Ate with 理恵（りえ） in Yacht Club and made a plan to meet her for T-time. She'll be going to Panic Art tonight, the performance by Kim Chahen (sp) the Korean-Japanese cat who won entertainer of the year in 2002 and 2004 or something. He's the one who did the impossible with the diablos (oversized yoyos) on a string.

Killed

12:57pm ART Monday 20 February 2006

James killed me today in the ship-wide 007 game. He sorta tricked me into coming onto the pool deck to see the shipwreck. I gave him a congratulatory hug and my as yet incomplete assignment.

Shipwreck

1:54pm ART Monday 20 February 2006

We are sailing through fiords again today.

Took pictures of a wrecked ship as we sailed past. Pretty clear view. Pretty much wrecked. Not exactly sunk.

I wonder about the story.

Studying

6:48pm ART Monday 20 February 2006

Studied Japanese with Akane for about 2.5 hours, then spent about 15+ minutes chattering in English about ways she can keep practicing English when she gets back to Tokyo. Don't go to an 英会話, but look for some English speakers with shared interests. Look in Metropolis Magazine; go to The Pink Cow.

Then I learned she didn't have a web based email address, so I encouraged her to go for the googlemail option, or at minimum to check it along with checking out some others.

While we were talking, さき came over and in the form of cookies, apologized for having forgotten our 2pm meeting yesterday.

go

This evening, 理恵 helped me play the Japanese game called Go. I was pretty frustrated for the first two games where she totally destroyed me, but then she (and some onlookers) became willing to give me some help in understanding how to evaluate the strengths of different moves.

praise you

12:44am ART Tuesday 21 February 2006

Matt loves the Fat Boy Slim video thing of "Praise You (like I should)" with a dance troupe doing some wack looking dance, but in unison, so we know it's intentionally wack.

We are going to try to perform that dance on stage tomorrow in Broadway. Wow. I'm not certain I'll be able to get all the moves down, but we'll see how it goes. I must say I feel more likely to practice Japanese than the dance tomorrow.

Sabrina came up from Reception to watch us dance in Winjammer.

Man - how lucky is Matt that I was already killed in 007 today. I would have had the *perfect* chance to kill him, in front of all the GETs....
