Fred chat

12:12am JST Wednesday 16 December 2009 (day 14511)

Fred chatted me something that took me a bit to figure out:

Fred: Places / Peeps: alliteration
      Items / Times: anagram

My brain was like tick tick tick tick as the wheels rolled back to when I had been talking about these words. tick tick tick . Ah!! For my wiki! With his extra validation that I had chosen some cool words, I set up the Items category and renamed the Events category to Times.

Now I'm going to write a bit for my first Items entry, for this white MacBook

The border around the screen of my white MacBook features three pictures from プリクラ from back in
the days when I had Ami, Francois, and when Kellie and Dan (52nd) still lived in Japan, and before
Jesse and Anna got married.

Written on the left side, below the screen is M8R-xhja131, the code for my tr mailinator address.
The word MacBook has been highlighted in green, and my Skype-friend Geng Juan's name is written on
the right below the screen so I can write her name quickly when she chats, "do you remember
me?" on Skype on rare occassion.

I have a brown dot of glue on the W key, so I can distinguish it from the Q key when closing windows
instead of entire apps.  My old Firefox sticker now says "uver the '' b" and is missing
about 1/3 of its face.  Still have the entire Shark label that I put on while working at 77Hz.

Inside my computer I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.2 on a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 2 GB
667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.  HDD is 424.23 GB with 292.54 GB available

pink cow funness

11:45pm JST Tuesday 15 December 2009 (day 14510)

Got to see Leslie at The Pink Cow; she's just gotten back from Texas after a two month road trip whirlwind vacation there, twice to Ren Fest, camping in the mountains, Austin City Limits, Oklahoma (north Texas), etc.

Tonight was Slang Bingo for Cow-Go international nights; David led cause Gary couldn't be there apparently. Had lots of new faces, and I think I spoke with 70% of them. Met Hiro and Kento who used to live in California, two funny girls sitting with David (of Flo Union), inventing a funny set of images for their "do it at home" public service campaign. Met Yuko and her friend who were with Mike, who was wearing a cow outfit and santa hat. I nicked (omg I've never used this word before and am not sure how to spell it) I swiped Traci's santa hat for a while but then gave it to Leslie once it got too hot.

Also swiped DJ Miki's cool glass ring with silver beads inside. She forgot about it until I showed it off during a photo op.

Dorothy and Woodrow were a bit cuddly during the Texas Hold 'Em game where David M and several other peeps were playing (including Leslie).

(( The guy beside me on the train is sleeping/coughing/belching like he's going to erupt. Reminds me of Jabba the Hut. I'm glad he's pointing at the window and his belly more than my computer, but these things are kinda unpredictable, I imagine. ))

I hugged everyone bye in plenty of time to make the 23:03 train, but then noticed I was leaving right at the same time as DJ Miki and her two friends, so I walked with them to Shibuya. Talked to Miki after tossing U-Cow to them. We walked slowly, not the fastest route to the station, and I realized I had missed the train so was glad when one of them (Fukutoshin Line) was like "yo let's go see the Moai, which has been stolen!"

Miki translated for me, and we headed over, and sure enough The Moai is Gone!! We took pictures and I made some guesses as to how it happened. There's a big white canvas mat featuring a cartoony skull where the moai used to be. Printed on the map is a URL, something like steal-japan.jp. Holy mackerel! It looks really strange to not see it there, and lots of people agreed cause they were all taking photos of the empty spot. I joked, "maybe they'll bring it back all clean and shiny."

Parted ways soon thereafter; hugging Miki at the intersection as she headed toward Inokashira Line, then hugging the Hanzomon Line girl near the Hanzomon Line sign, and then she ran back to us, "oh I meant the Fukutoshin Line!" and hugged the Musashi-Kosugi girl at Toyoko Line, and then dropped the other off with a hug at Fukutoshin Line.

Zoomed back toward Shonan Shinjuku and the times were all wrong.... oh snap! I need the Yamanote Line instead!
