puppy

Chris - lost job, focus on school, mother car?

Isha - to Pakistan Thurs (not always __ time?)

shave & shower. clothes/ laundry. unpack.

air out tent and sleeping bag

begin to think your belongings are all you have, forget about all your stuff back at home.

bike stinking up the house! charge phone + camera bat.

Paul's home! Jerky from Tx (unsealed but from yesterday)

Chile and rest of margarita, and gas station cookie.

1/2 laundry to dryer, swap over batteries to charge + nap! 4pm up ~6:30

folded 1/2 laundry. started other half, got dressed, phone calls/ voicemails from: Mary Reily - Summit Tech and (got my hopes up):

TV focus group Tues Apr 28 3hrs, $100 1.800.220.3720 ... 359 31CR

Big Mike called - 16hrs straight? More like 40. Stop by and see Quatro.

Dinner @ on the Border w/ Paul + Tara

- remembered Black Anguses or Black Angus?

Tara's aunt or grandmother's idea! Jacuzzi sink (mainly for dishes and mugs)

They asked: Any "Aw Shit!" moments, regrets, times you wished you hadn't, ppl I met, realized had a lot of stories, but then got to listen to theirs (Tara wanted back stories):

Bolt - paul laughed reflected: My cousin Vinny + Top Gun

Buddy and how they got him plus Tornado stories (puppy poo + trees down)

Mexicans' AC unit and stucco chimney

had left phone @ Paul's, no one had called anyway

Alum-a-lift tomorrow? Thurs?

- Alex/ Dave/ Adam / Liz, Bevin / Allie, Tracie / Quatro - Kristen

pages falling out of journal so decided to number them, currently on page 21. !

Things to do:

• plan ppl to see in GA - Paul, Tara, Chris, Jenn, Dougherty
• plan rest of trip, distances, ppl, days, etc
• call summit technical
• clean bike + tighten everything back up (now wanting to wait until NH...)
• check weather (hear its nice this wknd)
• stuff for Paul + Tara to bring - pint glasses? Xtra helmet, roadtrip book.... tools
• type up trip notes, copy over pictures, (update website)
• deposit check from Mom, check expenses online
• look for jobs online

tv after dinner: fact about brain being less active then sleeping.

• ICECREAM!
• News from Daily Show again
• Magic eye in one program (family guy)
• too lazy to move saltine box

Nintendo DS commercials, becoming like cellphones (wirelessly) - why not have cliff keyboard layout attachments or even remotes that would be for those. either wired or bluetooth.

Robot Chicken again! (funny but they didn't "change channels" enough). flinstones car, richie rich cribs.

- almost moved saltines @ one point

puppy + bed after [12:45am]

bm actually OK

rls idea - eml w/book

neck support or blanket bed that countours then changes consistency

Shick quatro ad. why not a razor that lubricated while it shaves, then cleans up following the blade. suction or just cloth?

"that's the way my mind has been working lately. improve, improve, make things simpler, more more, features; integrated... and yet want everything to be commercial and ppl less industry-minded

moral orel came on: Devil is in pleasures.

should write down everything you do that you feel proud of and happy doing, then do those more instead of watching tv! I'm going to go read [stalking the wild pendulum]

book idea getting ready for bed, noticed (1) t-shirt left on my bed + thought was. I'll wear that tomorrow. subconscious had already decided that. Book: "listening to the subconscious" similar to other book idea: enabling the subconscious

book trading website where every time a book is traded an author gets a small amount of money, the reader then also rates the books they read so that more of their money goes towards the books they enjoyed. libraries? goes back to thoughts on family economics. money should be to represent value, not something to strive to have. Don't try to unfairly profit. no man publishing? if tomorrow is Wed... it may be my last day here. def call work and talk to Alex. The rest will follow.

thoughts while reading: nice to visualize atom - dia 1 micrometer nucleus, dia 10m electron field. how big is equal thick. dia 1 or dia 0.

which planets have largest gravitational effects (md^2) [sun stays ~same dist from us]...

electric/ particle + wave universe. fun to "see" things in that light. makes me swetty and light needed.

-does holding breath really change freq / order-ness of hearbeat?

thoughts falling asleep / images:

- old texts like in the leather books or ouiji boards. blue-ish light rolling thru the pages / languages. use mech. eng'g to solve old problem / mysteries.

- sort of what scooby-doo gang did. travel around in van together solving mysteries. what else did my fave shows instill in me? (something Emily and I can do)
