Australia plans

11:56am JST Monday 19 January 2009 (day 14180)

Plannin' to go to Australia in late August for Clairvision's ISIS 101 course. I've done several ISIS sessions, but this will be my first week long course. Kevin has done it, and says it's pretty great.

Ami called me, and she asked out of the blue if I wanna go to Australia. I thought she had read my journal at first, but then I realized I haven't even uploaded this file.. So I was like, "um, I'm planning to go in March!"

I asked if she wants to go, but she's like, "I can't meditate," blah blah, and I got a bit annoyed at first, but then saw through her fear and explained that meditation is not a doing, it's a being, and the doing part of the practice is easily explained.

I explained it over the phone and she felt better, and is considering going with me. This could be cool.

Keiko

4:24pm JST Monday 19 January 2009 (day 14180)

I learned the name of my favorite nurse today: Keiko. She's married, but she's still my favorite. I think her face is similar to Teddybear Tomoko's. I wonder whatever happened to her.

Anyway, this Keiko is my senior by 11 months. She was surprised I was so close to her age.

Walktimate

4:26pm JST Monday 19 January 2009 (day 14180)

We played a non-running version of ultimate frisbee today, walktimate. During the trial, we're not allowed to physically exert ourselves (much), so we just sauntered around the field as slow as we quickly could.

slumdog millionaire

1:46am JST Tuesday 20 January 2009 (day 14181)

We watched _Slumdog Millionaire_ today. I hadn't wanted to see it because the name brought to mind a fish-out-of-water story of a bum in Beverly Hills, or worse, a dog in Beverly Hills.

The movie has nothing to do with Beverly Hills, except that it features a Hollywood plot, but a Bollywood setting. Quite good, and made me quite happy I wasn't born in north India. Not even sure I want to go now... South side, yes, but.

zzzz

Today I drew a picture for Ami, and wrote a little letter-note on the back. Didn't take a picture of it. Some things are best left unposted. But I will post the letter to Ami soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

Just a moment ago I added a label to my number on the door to our ward. I'm number 304, and I added the kanji for my name 路武 and then 問題児, which means "problem child" or some such. I only know that because I have a bumper sticker from an artist named 問題児, who I've seen perform at The Pink Cow twice. He does a song called Otaku Power, which I quite enjoy.

My internets are slow at the moment, or I'd try to find a link to the song.

OH, and I discovered today, the end of an era. Francois' Facebook account has been disabled by an administrator. The good news: I don't gotta spend time as him online. Bad news: I can't spend time as him online.

Or can I?

I've been playing a strangely addicting game called Trukz.

Yesterday I made a dentist appointment, and today I organized a time to meet with Mia to exchange reiki for process work. Not sure the deets of what she has to offer, but freestyle receiving goes nicely with freestyle healing.
