chillin with travis and yumi

15:09 Monday 04 May 2015 JST

We are in Yakushiikekoen (sorry about romanji) chillin' under a wooden roof thing that looks vaguely new like they might rebuild it every couple of years.

Lin's enjoying Yumi's camera as they pose like apes in Yumi's natural state.

We were originally scheduled to go to Kids Country, but when I saw the hordes headed that direction, I suggested we might do that on a different day, perhaps? So glad they agreed!

19:00

At Yumi's parents' house, after yummy dinner, chillin' with Travis, scoopin' up 4G wifi to show him /r/bitTippers and /r/getFairShare.

He showed me /r/thebutton, which I still have not pressed, and probably won't.

dream lising in a sand world

08:58 Monday 04 May 2015 JST

Climbed up a light pole and found some eggs whihch were soft, but viable bird eggs and I placed some which were above a line down below the line just to do it, and while I was there, one of them started to hatch. A little video game bird came out and was attracted to the video screen. I realized it was a simlation of sort, the bird was attracted to the sceand the scene itself was changing through a different rndomzider. I enterd the scene as well and found some points where I should dig being highlighted by slightly jumping upward like a quite simple but obvious "pick me" or "dig here" so I went to the spots in turn and founa bunch of idential keys with non-identical clues as to where the lock was for the keys. I din't read them, but started to put the caches back away in the sand and one of them wouldn't quite go back down into its hole, and then a guy came up behind us and announced "everyone, I opened the ceiling to my room and it got filled with sand" and I expected him to say 'so don't do that" but he continued, "and everyone has been nominated to help clean up. Johnson, Steve, Rabbit, Cindy, all of you come in her and help"

and then Lin came in to wake me up.

grrrr all the things

So much to be happy for! Great weather, great wife, happy bare feet, holiday, seats on the train, going to see Travis and Yumi, at Kids' Country no less!

Lin has been indoctrinated to not let the cat outside, so Jennie is going a bit stir crazy, peeing on Mama's futon (twice) and now it's being tossed in the trash ($100 wasted) despite my please to spend $100 to have it cleaned by a cat-pee-centric cleaning place. Because of Lin's indoctrination, her mom is indoctrinated to not let Jennie out so on our way out as Jennie is begging to go out, I'm like, "we should let her out; will your mom be here today?" so Lin asked her mom if she'll just open the door for the cat but her mom is like ohh it's better if you guys are here because her mom doesn't want to feel responsible in case any of the things that could possibly happen to Jennie (get a disease, win the lottery) happen.

But I'm glad at least Lin was open to the idea and says we can let Jennie out tomorrow. Yay!

So we left and got on the bus (freezing cold with AC grr why waste energy) and then I realized that the phone in my pocket is my camera, not my phone. dammit. I left my phone at home.

At least I have my camera (and Francois).

Fortunately we made our train connection ギリギリ, and we have seats together. So I'll stop being grouchy and just say fuckit to my phone and have a good day.

There are probably errors in the Japanese notes below!

1. 警察　けいさつ　police
