Breakfast

7:18am ART Wednesday 22 February 2006

I have eaten breakfast in Yacht Club basically every day of the voyage. E In general, I have been getting way more sleep than I did on the 49th.

Yacht Club has the same breakfast buffet each day: granola cheese slices, salami slices, various breads (raisin bread, raisin cinnomin twists, sometimes croissants, sometimes corn flour sugar rolls) jelly, butter, orange juice, yogurt.

I usually get granola, a couple rolls, strawberry jelly, two or three (small) glasses of orange juice, and yogurt. Mix the jelly with the plain yogurt, mix that with the granola, chow.

Francois movie bath

4:02pm ART Wednesday 22 February 2006

Just filmed Francois going into the laundry machine. It's our first day of filming Francois' first movie, but this is not the first scene. I just wanted to wash him before we filmed everything.

But that's not the best part. I asked reception if I may buy a laundry token with cash. I may not. Hmmmmm. I asked if I could bribe them with chocolate. I could not. I explained my predicament. "I'm doing a really weird thing... I'm not spending any money on the ship; my balance is zero," and I made an O with my hand. "But we are making a video that includes the laundry machine."

"You don't have to actually buy a token..."

Nice.

great dance!!

10:19pm ART Wednesday 22 February 2006

Our dance came out perfectly, including our big timing mistake!

10:59pm ART Wednesday 22 February 2006

The video I saw from the dance was taken practically in extreme closeup mode; we could never see all of the dancers at once, and could basically never see the dancers on the end.

But we could see that we were pretty vaguely decently doing something that resembled something that would have required practice.

igo

1:35am ART Thursday 23 February 2006

Rie bought me a drink in Sports Bar, and I suggested we go play Igo. She totally dominated the game, but she says I did better. I felt really amazed at how she could start from the same simple setup and destroy me, while I could start from the same simple setup and not kill her territory. In so few moves, too. Each time I was like, "what happened????" It was like I need to draw a picture and write down each exact move and see what differed. It was really weird, actually. Even she had a hard time seeing what we did differently: why she did so incredibly well compared to me.
