Not moving today

12:25pm JST Sunday 21 September 2008 (day 14060)

Got a call from Malek as I was on the train (as it was stopping in Shin Maruko), saying that they'd be starting the move at 5pm instead of 1pm, on account that Sho wouldn't be able to make it by then.

Fair enough, in a way, but Malek knew already that I had to leave around that time for stuff I gotsta do tonight. I doubt they're preferring Sho over me; I imagine they're preferring later rather than earlier.

My immediate reaction was to go back home to bed, but that would have required something like 25 minutes, plus it would have negated the 25 minutes I had already invested in heading toward Ogikubo for Circle of Light tonight. So, since I need to prepare a bit for that anyway, I'll find a spot in Shibuya where I can take notes on the ISIS session examples.

That spot will probably be very close to my desk at work, cause I'm quite low on cash at the moment (I didn't realize Natalie's party last night was 4000 yen, 1000 yen above the amount I thought would carry me through the weekend. (Actually I think it's more reasonable to say that I didn't carefully think about it before deciding *not* to go to the ATM before the weekend), plus going to ageHa afterward required me to borrow money from Ami), so I'll break into my piggy bank (plastic drink bottle), which has been collecting as much money at a rate based on how much I've been spending it on ice cream (e.g. 126 yen on ice cream = 200 yen in the bottle) with the goal of buying a Knowledge Track from Clairvision.

Boo hoo for me: I was looking forward to free lunch in the form of pizza, but it appears I'll have to fend for myself.

1:33pm JST

I ended up not staying at work longer any longer than it took to snag 2000 yen in small bills from my bottle, and forget to grab Uncle Cow's cards. Now I'm at a curry shop that will go unnamed because they specificallly said I could not use their electricity to charge my computer's battery. Yeah, I'd hate to boost their light bill more than all the lights in here already use. I'm actually surprised because the same-named shop in Motosumiyoshi welcomed my use of their electricty. Perhaps I shoulda *not* plugged in here until after he brought my food cause then he woulda not even seen the plug, and I woulda not spitefully spilled my water on the counter ostensibly to remove ice cubes, but really just because I was pissed.

entities workshop

12:00am jst Monday 22 September 2008 (day 14061)

On the Tokyu Toyoko line now, after just having said bye to Kumi in Nakameguro, and I decided it would be good to have a god deal of time to write, so I took a whiz in gakugeidaigaku, and am now taking the local train *back* to Shibuya, and then will go *back* through gakugeidaigaku to musashi kosugi, but this time. oh wait, I need to go back to Motosumiyoshi, but *this* time, I have a seat so I can write about today.

The entities workshop went quite well; I got to attend for free since I helped Helma and my help was well received; people said it was quite good, and Helma said she could feel the energy land. i could feel it, too. I identify it with the sort of relaxation feeling I have.. not sure how to quantify it beyond that.

Anyway, I was really into the characters I was playing in the example ISIS sessions, and actually cried and really got into them. I just figured that in one of my past lives, or, in four of my past lives, I probably had exactly these situations come up, so I can just cry about them here. Good to just live in realtime like that.

During the "announcements" portion of the evening, a woman named Tamara promoted a woman named m-something's workshop on angelic presence. on Tuesday. man; I'd really like to go, but have already told Travis I'd join his hiking trip. so I've requested that the angel make his presence known to me during the hike.

The hike is 20km, and Ami has agreed to go, but I doubt she knows how long it is; I guess i should be more clear.

12:17am jst

I just called her to let her know; she'll decide tomorrow if she's gonna go.

Even if she chooses not to go, and it rains and storms and the hike is cancelled, I don't know that I can reasonably afford the angel workshop right at this juncture. we shall see.

What I *do* know, though: I really fell in love with Tamara's blue eyes and bright smile. dang. enjoyed a nice real hug with her. I was trying to tell her something about something, and just was like, "um, my goodness, you eyes,," and just went in for a hug. it wasn't a fully super huge because I was still holding the entities book in one hand, but it was still nice. quite nice.

Kumi asked if I still lived on Toyoko Line, (so we could chat until Nakameguro) and I was like, "yep, but I'm hungry," so we went to the Indian restaurant under Museum Tokyo to chow before heading home. Helma and Denise joined a bit later, so we had a nice dinner with the teacher, talking a bit about Brett and Helma's recent ISIS session regarding making a living with spiritual work, and Kumi told us about her adventures in Bali at Karen Kingston's Space Clearing workshop, plus wreck diving, and being molested by a dolphin in some sort of tourist trap dolphin tank thing. She was (a bit) traumatized by the experience, but when she told us the story, she was like, "please laugh," but we were too stunned to laugh; I was like, "you're not a sex toy for dolphins," but I don't know if she really got my message.

Speaking of message, I woulda given a massage to Denise's wrists after I saw her stretching them out, but then I asked if she'd like some reiki for them. My hands warmed up a lot during the energy delivery; I hope her hands feel well soon.

Found out that Kumi doesn't watch TV (as of 2 years ago), and her favorite movies include some by Quentin Tarantino. Wow wow wow.
