Dream

6:47am JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

Some youth I had never met (?) were carrying a large inflated penguin through a school, so I quickly offered to help them carry its unwieldy bag of air down to where they needed it for an assembly. We had to get it down some stairs with semi scratchy walls, so I was careful to note that we shouldn't let it scrape on the walls cause it could be punctured. Got it down the steps and the hallway got smaller still, so I suggested that we take it directly into the gymnasium where the assembly was certain to be held. We took our shoes off on one side of the room and carried the penguin to the other. A few marching band members were in the gym getting ready. I happened to meet one who came up to me with his drum kit and was like, "guess what I play?" and I couldn't identify it at first because it was all folded up. He let it come open and it was a full drum set like a rock band. I was like "wow!" and he showed me a few beats, and then he told me how he's having trouble in school and I kept asking questions empathetically and listening, trying to get a sense of the issue and perhaps sort out the problem, but before I did the band director (?) was like, "blah blah blah " in a way that made it smell like he didn't want me talking to the kid, but was like, "oh, we've had trouble with starting the band on time," and was really smarmy, and I never got to sort out the end of the drum kid's issue. I left and went to the loo and was takin' a whiz when someone else grabbed my balls from behind as some kind of joke just to disorient my whiz, and I was like, "false" and physically dug my thumbnail into his arm (*) he let go of my balls and then we we on good terms and he tried to grab me again, so I wrapped my arm around him and grabbed his arm so he couldn't grab mine, and then I made him grab his own wang, which he was holding for a bit until I finished whizzing, and then he showed me he had pulled his wang off his body. I was like, "what?? why didn't you scream out in pain?" He was like, "meh; it grows back an inch every day so it's okay."

(*) wow!

Interview with Benjamin Fulford

1:54pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

Just watched an interview with Benjamin Fulford, some guy who's been reporting all kinds of gangster stuff about Japan and intends to use 5 trillion worth of Japanese cash to save the world.

Work

1:57pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

Okay. Now I'm likely to get some work done. I've procrastinated enough today, I think! (10am to now... only half the day, so better than recent days).

7:30pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

I got a bit done: trying to learn about branches and merges in SVN. I got the branch part done, but not the merge part. I guess that's partially because SVN doesn't actually do merges per se. Ah well.

7:31pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

I got sidetracked reading Slashdot; first watching a video of Big Dog, a four legged robot walk on ice and recover from some slips and a big kick.

Also, I hope the insider trading doc on Wikileaks helps unravel the bad guys, and last a suggestion to learn a new programming language per year, starting with Ruby. I've already wanted to learn a new thing each year, so Ruby can certainly count as one.

So I went through most of a cool tutorial for Ruby. I think I might try and learn it.

ami

7:35pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

Ami called me saying she wasn't feeling so great and didn't think she could make dinner tonight. i was like, "dude; no problem; go to bed and I'll bring home dinner. what would you like?"

She goes, "can you call me when you're at the store?" and I go, "you'll prolly be sleepin', yeah?" and she agreed and ordered pasta.

I'm glad to have a bit of a chance to take care of Ami.

karen

8:35pm JST Wednesday 19 March 2008 (day 13874)

Karen happened to be on the same train as me, and I was actually surprised that she actually not only spoke to me, but shared her umbrella with me on the way back home! wow wow wow.

I slipped and hit my knee on the way home because my shoes have no traction, and as a result got several little grains of gravel in my shoe, which made for a bit of a mess in the newly caulked shower, but oh well.

Oh, Karen and I got to know each other again; she's the only Portuguese/Japanese speaker at her work (telephone operator) down on Ginza Line. We've had absolutely no communication in the many months that she's lived across the hall from me.

I reminded her that she showed me the back route from our apartment, but she didn't recognize / remember it when I used the same (reversed) route to go to our apartment. This seemed odd to me. I walked her all the way home (umbrella share) and then said bye and went back out to the store to get food for Ami and myself.

zz ami

12:54am JST Thursday 20 March 2008 (day 13875)

Ami just left, after tucking me into bed, which I really enjoy. I got back outta bed to write a bit, though. (Including the above entry about Karen (with falsified timestamp).) I've noticed an extreme lack of nighttime journal entries in the past months / years.

Ami was reading as I arrived, and just poked her eyes out from under the covers when I came in. She claimed to be cold and invited me to join her. She was bare enough to be cold, but definitely not cold. We smooched then ate, then romped, then slept as it began to rain harder outside.

I finally got up to floss and brush my teeth, the former while in the shower.
