At work, trying to figure out how to interface with a new phone switch, notice some across the way with a big thing. Walk over and it’s a new color copier. Look at it, go back to my desk.
In a club, off to the side, standing on a trampoline. Bill Gates and Eno with a wig are on stage. Gates has a guitar and Eno is singing. They’re both acting silly and the crowd in front is too. Someone throws something at me and Gates gets mad and starts berating the guy.

In a big studio, painting a multipart canvas with drips and stuff, then laying a simple drawing on top. Look at some of the other stuff there. Other people are looking at them too and like mine. There’s something going on in the sky with Venus-highly magnified.
Look at a demo of the app I just finished-it’s not the same-flashy, 3d, animated. Reworks of standard UI elements. Not much content.

In a room, looking at some animals. Go outside and there’s a skirmish going on-we try to find the control room-steal a headset and climb a steep hill-some kids see us and we hurry towards a building. Go around and ask the people in the office if they know anything.
On a big patio, Guy from Food Net is there saying he wishes there was a bar overlooking the sunset. A portable bar gets wheeled in and we sit down.

5:00 pm-The end of the week-got a lot of work done. And a lot of Guitar Hero too. OK. Weds-school meeting, rainy. Thurs-up, kids to school, work, birthday lunch at Red Robin, work, Guitar Hero (I’m struggling with Metallica’s One at medium level), home, to bed. Fri-to school, work, lunch, much the same.

Here’s an interesting analysis by Stratfor about Obama and foreign policy. Democracy Now! is hitting him pretty hard too. Palin denies infighting in the McCain camp-looks like the blame storm is starting. Time to go-cleaning this weekend.

Listening to: Democracy Now!, Puccini, Mickey Hart, Los Lobos, Brainscapes, R Carlos Nakai, Bob Marley, X

In a diner, talking to the cashier/cook/waitress. I go behind the counter, we hug and slide to the floor. We turn around a bit and I get up.
In a war zone-two patrols are tossing bouncing bettys back and forth-none go off. One comes towards me and I take off. Go around some apartment buildings, there’s a helicopter circling, we try to get away but it follows us and lands. The person gets out and gives us a folder.

5:56 pm-Time to go home-nice day-played Guitar Hero a few times, got stuff done. Meg finally accepted my Facebook-I had such a crush on her… OBAMA WON!!! Woo-hoo! We got the kids up to watch the acceptance speech. DN! wasn’t on LinkTV-had to watch the stream.

I’m hanging out in a room at Journey, smoking an odd cigar shaped thing. I walk out to the driveway and it’s 30700. I go across the driveway and talk about the no smoking policy.
I’m in a hotel, in the elevator in a tux. There’s a dead body and I walk out of the lobby.
I’m getting ready to go on tour with Prince?-getting my rig set up.
I’m up in the truck for a tour, looking for something among the rigging. Walk around to the bus.

4:59 pm-Dark and rainy now. The joy of winter. OK. Recap: Friday was insane-lunch at the other office, back here, family, trick or treating at the other office, dinner out after a nasty drive, more trick or treating-at least it wasn’t raining. Sat: hang out, halloween party for 1st grade, home. No church Sun., tidy, rake & mow. More tidy, to bed-hard to sleep, up-Colin was up early, kids to school, to work, lunch, work. Revised the writing page to use AJAX-I think that’s it. Finished my ballot-need to find my SS card. Filing tonight?

In a lecture room-there’s a party and meet and greet for freshmen. I get in line for drinks and grab a few glasses. The guy grabs a drink from someone else and gives it to me. I walk through the crowd.

At Journey, in Wood Canyon. Walk around to the classrooms, the middle is mostly dirt with a small garden at one side. Walk back and see animals in the rooms. There’s a crying kid and Ross D is comforting him. In the office-talk to Kim D about something.

At St. Paul’s, outside looking at a new entrance through a skywalk. Go into the new entrance-nice room-messy. Go down to the ground floor and see three snakes slither into a hole in the wall. Some other animals too. Walk over and Colin is trying to sit at his desk but the Hollywood CEO is playing ping pong and in the way. We try to move Colin’s desk.

Having problems with my car-pull into a parking structure. They have an engine fully apart-I pull up to the next floor and look down.
In grand Cayman, looking around ar the big buildings and flashy stuff. Go past AT&B., into some building and down into an elevator to get to some classified weapons bunker. Dennis H lets me in.
