Making a phone order for a bunch of net hardware.

Working on some spi stuff. See Christ leading some ceremony-try to cross over-get stopped by a fence. Some guy comes to take me back, explains I’m not ready.

Well, as usual, I blew the weekend off and neglected this journal. Quick summary-out Friday, skiing Saturday, sore Sunday & Monday, had to sit my parent’s dog on Sunday night, work Monday & Tuesday. My beer has come out fine, but some bottles have a little phenolic-due to bleach…Oh well. Work continues-with several projects on the horizon. No gamelan this week-UCLA is on break. Not much else, the usual. In many ways, I feel a lot like those kids who checked out in PV, but I’m old enough to know that checking out doesn’t solve your problems-it just postpones them for another 15 years… MKM is my solution, although the big score would do it too-unfortunately, one is a dream and the other is a few years off. Fortunately, I realize that this period is here for a reason, and I try not to let it get to me too much.

Weird day-it’s sunny and hot. Mom wants me to come up Sunday night. LaTanya Anthony keeps calling-what’s up with that? I got the PW job w/Naleo. I had to go to a meeting for RDS-lasted two hours-John Lake is history. At least we got most of the open items done. Went shopping after that-Fry’s (pricing for Calibar upgrades, TR-I’s Individualist, some CD-ROMS for OS/2 & Linux, Delphi upgrade), Guitar center (search for rackmount wireless), Ralph’s (food), Blockbuster Music (vain search for Tony Levin’s new one), Morry’s (malt extract). Got home & Koyannisqatsi was waiting! kOOl!!!! I think I’ll go skiing tomorrow & drink tonight-those homebrews & the Blue Cafe are waiting…I miss Marybelle, Susan and I’d like to see Janey tonight. See ‘ya.

Well, this is my first entry into this section-we’ll see how this goes… I’m currently under the gun on a major project-unfortunately, the clown who I need answers from isn’t getting them to me. Luckily, I was able to fill in a bit of the day with changes (bug fixes) to a finished project. Otherwise, the day has been spent working on these web pages. I was thinking about flying my kite, but decided not to. I’m also thinking about going out tonight–we’ll see. I keep wanting to drink a few from the batch of homebrew in the closet, but I’m successfully resisting that temptation. As always, KROQ is in the background-it makes me think of Susan…Later.

It’s Easter. I’m at St. Anthony’s going up the back way into the back chapel. Putting on my clothes, I sit down and the guy next to me asks if I’m a bus boy. The service starts, everyone joins the procession, I stay seated. I move over and get splashed by oil. I get some cake, walk with mom and show her the vending machines. I walk outside to a performance of Godspell. It’s weird, though. I get up there and start experiencing all things at once.

At a Bad Religon show, some kids are sitting there learning the songs. I talk about my rigs. I walk back to Hook’s house. I come back and the stage is rushed. I squeeze through. I fake punches at some guy. I talk to some alien and others start talking.I walk back through the crowd.

Walking around in a storm and in a tent.
