Dream

7:34am JST Sunday 9 July 2006

Back in Jerusalem, walking near where a road was being repaved against the Palestinian's wishes, over an area they considered sacred. I could feel the weight of stares on me as I walked through the affluent Israeli neighborhood and into the Palestinian neighborhood, with both sides wondering which side I was on.

As I walked along, I realized I shoulda brought my camera; this even would be remembered for years and it would be nice to have pictures from when it happened.

As I walked along the newly paved road, I looked up at the wall which was a chalk board from history class, with a writing assignmeent quickly scrawled, asking us to describe the historical background leading to this event and its likely affect toward the future.

I wished I had been listening when the assignment had been written, as I wasn't quite able to make out all the words, but I had a general idea of what it was. I figured I was in a pretty good place, though; I was the only student in the class who had been present when the road was being repaved.

Damn; I just realized I liked missed an opportunity to see PB peeps in Yoyogi Park yesterday. Misato emailed everyone 4 days ago, and I never responded until just now.

Marvin Dangerfield, DJ

12:47pm JST Sunday 9 July 2006

Heading out to InterFM, 76.1fm soon, where I hope to hang out with DJ Marvin Dangerfield on the air. I met him at Gaba and he said "c'mon over!" when I queried about his radio show.

That was over a year ago, but ... I'm going to try it today.

Killa!

- - - -

The setup here is well bigger than we had in KTRU at Rice. Three broadcast rooms, and CDs are in stacks in completely separate rooms.

3:09pm

Chillin' in the broadcast booth with Marvin and the gang; just had a woman announce the news - wow she has a beautiful voice.

(( this is my first time to ever hear Marvin's show, but I can write as if I know what's going on: ))

The theme of the week has people emailing about the last time they cried, given that today's date in Japanese sorta sounds like [to cry] in Japanese. Most people have been citing movies.

Marvin was telling me how they try to keep everything super-live; he doesn't pre-listen to the emails before his assistant Chisako (perhaps her name) reads them.

Marvin's Japanese is probably better than my English; it's fun to hear him flipping between languages as needed depending on the topic and his audience.

Definitely cool to reconnect with broadcasting, even if I basically can't understand but the gist of what they're talking about. Just had Fakie, special guests in the studio. I had never heard of them, but that's what a radio appearance should do: educate the audience.

Cool beans でした。 He had his hands full with people to entertain by the end of the show; half were guests, half were photographers, one was his fortune teller (?), and one was me.

I didn't want to try and look comfortable in all their Japanese yammering and politeness, so I ducked out.

I'll call him tomorrow to see about working in IT at GABA.

Phone

Hahah

How hilarious that I forgot my phone. Actually I thought I hadn't, but in my pocket is my old (dead battery, no service) phone.

I think the title is pretty misspelled, but it doesn't matter because the point is they haven't called me back. It's been... a week(?) wow.

Website

Back to Jesse's now to work on imagesadmin. On machine rob of thunderrabbit.com, I've nearly gotten to the point where I had it on robnugen.com. Soon I will be ready to switch the IPs.
