State of My Life Address
  1. I’ve ordered my new computer from System76. After a Javascript-powered delay too minor to stress over, it’s apparently under assembly now.
  2. I still have my same waterproof Aquos phone running Android 8 (though the latest OS is Android 11). My phone vendor has not made updates available since 8.0.0 (and there is one annoying bug where the phone saves all the notifications and dutifully poops out a raucus of consecutive notifications when it gets the chance (when I turn off silent mode)
  3. I’ve started leading Weekly Alignments the first fourThursday nights each month.
  4. I’m still teaching in Omotesando on Tuesdays, and plan to quit each time I head toward the lesson.
  5. I’m really pleased with Marble Track 3 construction today. I had Mr Greene enter reflectively as he exited, and he’s carrying El Banderín, a name I love, and hope makes sense en español.
  6. Three men attended their first MKP Japan meeting last month and two that I know of plan to attend for the first time tonight. Before COVID, we had approximately 1 new attendee every two or three months.
  7. Recently (basically since we moved online) all of the attendees besides myself are men who have not attended the NWTA.
  8. I’m still of the mind that whether or not this Corona virus is real the lockdown is worse on the population in terms of deaths and stuff than the actual virus.
  9. I’m still using my Android phone so I’m thinking more and more about getting a new phone cuz this one gets slow sometimes and that’s annoying.
  10. I’m using micropub to write this initial journal entry but it still doesn’t publish automatically when I click submit. It’s still sends it to my development domain plasticaddy
  11. The other day was my first experience at Yuki’s contact dance which I described at the end by saying “I’m in heaven.”
  12. before that I met Christian to play disc in Yoyogi Park before SOGO. Super great time hanging out with him.
  13. I’ve made a first draft of my walking route to Niigata, but have yet to find hotels for most nights along the way. I haven’t made any reservations yet.
  14. I worked on AB just 8 hours last month and still need to send my hours in to Nate (they’re officially due today).
  15. I read some of the transcribed diary of Thomas Edison; curious to see how he saw and described the world. How would he react knowing parts have been published?
  16. Lin and I have been getting along wonderfully recently, mostly due to (her awesomeness and) my care taken to chill out my anger.
  17. Until early last month we watched several of the Marvel Comics Universe movies in chronological order. We finished Ant Man and are up to Captain America: Civil War.
  18. I’ve augmented my Japanese KUMON study using Anki. Recently I’ve been memorizing a few intransitive verbs.
  19. As predicted, I’m happier now after leaving the Omotesando lesson, and of the mind to keep doing them. They are fun once I get there but don’t make financial since to me, so I wonder what I’ll do.
  20. Currently I’m thinking I’ll work there for a year before quitting.
  21. Eight men including 2 new men attended MKP Japan’s first weekly meeting of December.
  22. I’ve been taking Dmitri’s The Inspiration Process course, and got from “I want more money and recognition for my heart work, but I get ignored instead” to “I want to be the expensive guy, but I get ignored instead.” Step by step.
  23. When I go to JB, I don’t bring shoes. I just put on socks outside the door.
  24. I’ve been working at SCC twice a month. Lots of fun there and meeting new people, Mirika most recently.
  25. Our cat Jennie is genki and fine. She is something like 8 years old now, I think. Lin still frets about Jennie going outside at night.
  26. My bicycle TJ Bike is getting old and doing pretty fine. Shocks in front have been shot (rusty) for years since I left him outside in the rain in our old house.
  27. I’m basically switching to Springmail as my email client. It’s got the shortcuts I like and seems to have its proverbial act together more than Apple’s Mail.app. plus I’m moving to Pop_OS sooner than later.
  28. I’ve just realized I need to prepare a few lists before my trip walking to Niigata: list of things to pack, list of places to reserve, list of things to do (including buy a battery for my old computer).
  29. Separately, I need to make a list of things to transfer from my old computer to my new computer.
