Dream

12:07pm JST Saturday 15 July 2006

I was asked to clean up the apartment slash office space held by the PB people about to embark on the 54th voyage. Carla was supposed to be on the ship in about 12 hours, but hadn't yet started packing.

She was in her room with someone, and I was like, "hey Carla; you gotta get going, yo.." and was beginning to clean the other parts of the apartment.

Erick Morrow was the someone in Carla's room, and I was glad she was with somebody I liked.

I found a 4x4x4 Rubick's cube and was working on that with some success while waiting for Carla to get out. When Erick walked by, I commented to Katy B-H next to me, "he's cute."

I didn't recognize Erick until I was typing; I knew I knew this guy while dreaming, but couldn't name him.. Erick was in YRUU and was killed in a traffic accident late one night while crossing the road. Alcohol was involved.

Joblessness

Call English Village
Call Alice
Sumidasan job?

Bye friends

get out

I've just talked to Kris and am going to start knocking off this list.

And actually make a more careful list.

Just had a fantastic 1.75 hour chat with Kris (49th, Vancouver, but now BFE Canada), which started with me whining about my joblessness, then girlessness, then how the fuck did Carl go from dessert-eating contests to PB staff, and we started talking about PB and old pictures and briefly the fucked up situation in Middle East (Israel attacking Lebanon).

Told her the story about Alice; Kris said I should definitely call to see about the "long time stay okay" plan over there.

Kris is a kinesiologist, so she did a remote session with me on my shoulder, scoping the X-rays of my shoulder online and asking me to move it in various ways to see where it's tight/painful, etc (which is actually in only a very small area; if my arm is relaxed straight down and I rotate it backwards, that is kinda tight. Everywhere else has the same range of motion as my right shoulder).

Super thankful she will show the pics to her mates at work on Monday. Hopefully fun show-n-tell for her!

Her cell phone rang a couple of times: the guy she was seeing, but was supposed to dump tonight, but ended up not going out at all. I'm glad for my sake she didn't answer, but too bad for him, I guess. Though what an irony when I was talking about women not answering my calls or encouraging further connection.

And all of that goes perfectly with both of us saying the other one's life looks so cool (she with a real job, me in another continent), and I'm thinking there is something skewed about our perspectives.

Good luck to me figuring out my life; good luck to she dumping that guy.

Plans

Just in touch with Jesse who has more ideas upon ideas; all is not lost; I need to remember this.
