Playing in a park at the top of a cliff-we tell the kids to stay awat form the edge. Some guy with a pole vaulting pole comes, climbs over the fence and jumps off. Some lady is shocked and Erika goes to comfort her. I look over and the guy is lying with a blanket over him-the cops come, take off the blanket, put plastic over him and start an investigation. The lady wants to go to church. Go down the elevator with David Caruso, stop, get off at the bottom. It’s raining and I go the other way. Walk through a crowded cafeteria-see people from college. Get a bottle of Myer’s rum, start drinking, turn the corner to home, sit down as a group from our house comes with the housemother. I hurry ahead and stash the bottle in a high cupboard. The place is a mess and we start cleaning. Throw a rotten peach back and forth, tell some guy to put his piece in the trash. I go over there to toss mine and overhear weasels in the wall gloating about already finishing it.

5:56 pm-Time to go-quiet today. Working on the nasty query, again. Not much else-home, kids, bed, Colin is better, Matt’s getting worse. Up, work, lunch, work.

5:14 pm-The work part of Monday-kids have the week off. Colin has a fever-Erika took him to the ER last night-nothing other than what we knew. OK-weekend-Friday was pretty quiet-kids, work, lunch, work, cat food, home, bed, bed. Sat-lazy, bed shopping, mall, got new earrings, lunch-slammed, Red Bobin, home, Colin got sick. Sun-no church, quiet, yardwork, hang out, bed. Today, slept in a bit, to work, lunch, work. Worked on wireframes at lunch, resynced the essays.

At a club, watching Anthony A play. He steps off and asks me to play drums. I beg off, saying I’d be better at guitar. I slide around and start to settle in. It’s cramped.
Watching 2 guys wrestle/mma. One guy starts sticking his fingers in the others’ eyes, so far that they pop out.
Skating around a square, many people there. They’re doing something and want me to join in. I slip through, beg off and leave-they’re asking me to stay. Walk down the street to a restaurant, turn around and walk back across the street from a huge print shop. Some guy asks me for money. I go back home, and say I went to class, but I’m looking at my school schedule

4:55 pm-Thursday work is ovah. Dinner, kids to bed, workout, t’ai chi, to bed early last night. Up today, kids to school, plates for the van, neighbor’s missing dog, work, no lunch. They’re trying to pass an internment camp bill. Blecch. This crap should’ve ended after Chimpy left-we may still see remnants of this for awhile…

Hanging out in a square, watching some drunk guy harass everyone. Finally security comes and tries to subdue him. He gets away, but they get him again. They give him to me flattened in a clear portfolio case. I walk away, and chat with some girls about all the tourists and how it wasn’t like this when I was here last. I go to cross a bridge/boat and drop the picture over the edge. It floats down and slips into a lower level window. I run down and it’s at the bottom of a pool. I dive in and get it.

They’re taking apart Ken’s studio-lots of boxes. I’m thinking about them not paying and invoicing. I take a few things to my car-happy that I got a nice condenser mike. Walk back, look into the bar-boxes there, too.

5:22 pm-Time to head home-no smog check today. Quiet weekend. Cleaning yesterday, lazy, church, potluck, shopping Sat. That’s it. The usual. Got a nice leather vest for cheap.

Talking to mom about birthday gifts. Phone keeps disconnecting. Accidentally call Amy Goodman-thank her for her work. Call back mom-I want a bootable memory thing. Go to a cocktail party-underdressed. Try to give a message to someone. Walk around and chat about live sound. Make finger not in a mall-a football game is on-a US reunion, walk upstairs, crowded.

2009/2/8

Getting my car towed. He leaves before I ask him something. I walk with his partner to the shop. We get food-I can’t pay, but they keep giving me more.
In a river, icy-a pile of snow falls on me and I go under. Try to make it to the canoe but it’s going faster. I make it to a ledge, get in a boat-it launches but I get it back to the edge, fall asleep and travel out of my body, wake up.

2009/2/7

In a nasty bar, trying to get in a pool tournament. Too many people around. Wait, go in and it’s tiny. Set up the table and there are huge balls that need to be unpacked. Go over to my bed and lay down.
At home trying to fix leaky u-bend in sink-broken stopper. Get it threaded-no go. No nut-look through a pile-none match. Go out to the bedroom and look more. Chat w/Erika about fat chicks and a party. Playing backgammon with boys.

5:38 pm-Time to go home-posting a bit spotty this week because I’ve been sick. No problem. Quiet day today-up, kids, back home-trying to find missing cat, try to find smog place. Work, lunch, work. Nose is all stuffed up. Yesterday-stayed home, slept, took care of baby, slept. Felt bad after lunch Weds, home, temp. Don’t remember Tues-prolly the same.

In a meeting/lunch. All sorts of Quest folks are there giving away stuff. Meeting ends, walk away with someone to gossip. Back to school-missed classes. Science guy wants to talk about projects and demos some.
@ 30700, wrestle with Tom Puleo!-evenly matched. Have to leave. Look for my coat, it’s hanging and lying down. Tom is a baby now.
