Airports

8:58am JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

Said bye to Freddo on the platform in Haneda Airport. We stood there for about 15 minutes just saying, "thank you," and "it's been great."

Man, I miss that kid. It's good that I'm going Kagoshima; it will keep my mind off it. Hmmm; is that good?

Bus

11:26am JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

On the bus in Kagoshima now. Haven't left the airport. But have met some of the guys. The overall question on everyone's mind is "am I gonna make it?"

I plan to make it. I did a reiki symbol to help ensure it.

Clinic

3:30pm JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

Have finished the examination, and are back in a waiting period while they sort out who makes the trial and who hits the trail. We basically have a long day of waiting today. An hour+ from arrival to the testing, and now I'm guessin' an hour plus until the results.

Then we'll get to eat for the first time at 7:40pm, and then tomorrow around the drug administration, will be the final screening; some people react to having an intravenous catheter, and could be kicked out of the trial for passing out. That happened last time I was in a trial, back in February 2008.

Funny thing Gary just pointed out: while we were ostensibly reading about the details of the drug trial and stuff, people were focused moreso on the menu for the two weeks:

First and second screening

6:07pm JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

In my bed. Made it through the first and second screening.

10:31pm JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

Met a guy whose name I don't know yet. He's got a lot of videos regarding Airplane Day, JFK, Apollo, etc. Says "Americans like me" are rare.

He personally thinks the No Plane Theory for WTC is deliberate misinformation designed to make WTC-Truth-Movement look bad.

Gigs

11:25pm JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

I've got 12 Gigs of storage space tied up with some videos from a party in my shared room back a couple years ago. I'm thinking I should just delete them, save perhaps for me-n-Shawn's commentary afterward. That was pretty much funnier than the footage of drunken antics beforehand.

I deleted the antics portion. I'm going to export the cleanup and discussion portion, but probably not make them public.

Ron Paul on Israel, economy, Obama

11:22pm JST Tuesday 13 January 2009 (day 14174)

Just watched Ron Paul on Israel, Obama, the economy, etc. I can see why Travis voted for him.
