[i]

Around 2pm I wake up to Ambrotious cuddling with me again. I hear the jet noise of course and the muffled sound of Kenneth’s voice in the backyard next door.


DREAM: Nighttime. I’m driving down curvy and hilly roads. Leaves are swirling low on the asphalt. I stop at a restaurant similar to Kelly’s Tavern or Applebee’s. I need to blow my nose. I walk in with a blue mug I borrowed from somebody. I grab a blue shopping cart with two level compartments near the entrance. I walk to the restroom area where there are two bathrooms, one for women and one for men. Also, there is a small bathroom booth you can use with a neon sign reading, XLZ. It’s similar to a photo booth and has three video screens with live feed from the view inside. It’s supposed to be risqué so horny guys can watch girls pee or something. I see video screens in front of the men and women’s bathroom too. I’m nervous as I run into the men’s with the blue shopping cart and the blue mug. I set the blue mug on a toilet seat in the corner and grab a few damp paper towels to blow my nose with. A guy walks in brushing by my back on purpose and says, “Tighten up dude”, referring that I tighten up my buttocks. I laugh a little so he knows I’m not offended. He starts using the urinal and smiles. He leaves and keeps the door open so his friends can see what I’m doing. I blow my nose obnoxiously in their direction making loud trumpet-like noises. All of them react with dumbfounded faces as if I’m a disgusting little nerd. I look over at the toilet seat and the mug is gone. I feel bad for losing someone’s mug. I start pushing the shopping cart out towards the entrance of the restaurant and an employee stops me. I immediately act concerned and ask him where the cart is supposed to go. Initially I was going to take it with me. But I assure the employee I was only looking to put it in the right place. ☼☼☼☼☼ Myspace has this new thing where you can create a special profile page with a song of your choice in the music player and give it to your friends as a gift. It’s called “Anti-Ambussy”. Erlin makes one for Phil. I’m looking at the page and it’s grey in color with some weird photo of an abstract version of the Statue of Liberty as the profile picture. The song in the player is by some obscure punk band from the 70’s.


Breakfast: Hot Cream of Wheat Cereal, Immune Defense.


I stretch and play the guitar.


Lunch: Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Salt N Vinegar Chips, Green Tea.


A rainy day at China Wok. I stop at Trader Joe’s for some groceries.


I eat some of Emily’s homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mmm.


I exercise. Dancing. www.chatroulette.com.


I make Mushroom and Onion Chicken with Spinach and Rice for dinner, and share with Phil and Wesley.


I continue writing songs on the guitar.


A lot of people come over to watch Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo [2008]. I watch most of it. The world Miyazaki creates in his animated films is surreal.


I eat a few slices of Pizza with a cup of Coffee.


More writing.


Cadbury Egg.


I clean my teeth and go to sleep around 5:30am.
