Dream

9:26am JST Thursday 13 January 2011 (day 14904)

Living in a house that condoned casual sex, we could just arbitrarily play sexually with each other, with no strings attached, nor any expectations of orgasm or not; it was just fun and loving and relaxed.

Watching clouds go by with Lin, we saw all kinds of really cool formations created by the wind going at various speeds, fast then slow, then sporadic and choppy; it was creating spectacular shapes and some of the clouds fluffed off and floated down to us to catch and became balloons I could use to fly a little bit. I jumped up to a tree using the lofty balloons and called to Lin to take a picture of me swinging my legs out sideways. She didn't want to take the picture at that time, and was analyzing the camera and I finally was like, "have you taken a picture yet?" and she goes, "no," and I dropped down out of the tree, "I'm done," and walked away without further discussion.

After a few minutes I realized that violated our trust, so I went back to her and caressed her head and hair, saying "you're a good photographer," and she goes, "thank you; I was just uncomfortable using a new camera; I wanted to read the whole manual to make sure I used it correctly, etc." and I said, "I understand, and I'm sorry I didn't respect that. it was just a miscommunication." She agreed and we made up.

File upload broken, finally...

4:58pm JST Thursday 13 January 2011 (day 14904)

After lots of staring at my code and others' libraries and a little Google and tinkering with toots, I got something to work, even if it didn't work.

Here's my commit message (with linebreak added for my journal):

    I love when it's awesome to get a Failure message.
    it means *something* worked, in this case ajax upload

Sweet as.

The only little issue: the last library I used is licensed with GPL, which means either I can't use it, or when the site goes live, we have to release all the source code. It's mostly a patchwork of libraries, but I wonder if I can convince Soness it's the best way to go.

Lin

Lin will call me at 7pm when she gets off work. We'll just bark tonight, but on Friday I'll probably go see her, especially if I get the image code working more.

My artist date

8:15pm JST Thursday 13 January 2011 (day 14904)

Sweet! Without even really planning it, I went on an Artists Date with myself. The original goal was to get a blank book for Morning Pages, but I didn't find one in Chigasaki nor in Sekaido in Fujisawa, but I did buy some white paperboard boards for drawing. Went downstairs seeking a snack and found a most delicious treat! T'was at that point I realized I was doing whateva I wanted to do, so I bought two more delicious treats, a delicious vanilla shake and sat down to draw and eat. Yummmm!!!

At the end of my date, Peter, who is *also* in the Artists Way group happened by! He came up behind me in the shop, "is that Rob?" in his radio announcer voice. "Peter!!!" and we sat for a bit and chatted while he ate a scone and I admired my new artwork. I'll almost certainly upload pictures tonight.
