The weather is dependable. I’m always amazed by the punctuality of the seasons. I haven’t been able to devote my attention to one solid thing for the past few months, and I’m learning to appreciate it. This may be the last time my life can be divided into 4 easy and distinct elements. Dinner tonight: sushi. Aleena’s recommendation. Kentlands has these interesting restaurants popping up – a crepe place, of all things.

I develop a similar habit wherever I work: get to work, do a few tasks, go get a mid-morning snack, do more work, late lunch, relax, and go home. Billy and Andy came over the other night to work on some songs. We molded a song that Andy had written a year ago – Time Has Passed, or something like that. Changed the chord structure a little bit (it’s always easier playing a guitar rather than a piano) and worked the melody so that Billy could add in some harmonies.

Kitchen Accessories: two teacups, electric kettle, 3 boxes of 24 tazo tea bags (awake [black tea] for morning, sweet orange for afternoon, passion [hibiscus] for night-time). Records: The Police’s Synchocity, McCoy Tyner’s Fly With the Wind, Brian Eno’s Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, The Beatles – 1967-1970, John McLaughlin/Al Di Meola, and Paco De Lucia’s Passion Grace and Fire, and David Sylvian’s Secrets of the Beehive. Books: Edward DeBono’s Lateral Thinking, Robert Kaplan’s The Art of the Infinite (mathematics), 2006 Henry O.

I’ve finally moved into my new home in Letts Hall. It’s funny to think that I used to live on Northside and work on Southside and now it’s the exact opposite. Once I stopped working at Weichert, there wasn’t a specific time of day that I could write in this log, so I stopped unintentionally. Once I find that time in my new job, I can update daily once again.

+++ title = “07” date = 2006 +++ The notebook I bought fits in my pocket, barely, and I bought a few pens to go with it. I linked to an article yesterday which explains how to buy a Mont Blanc ink cartridge and install it into a 2 dollar pen. Basically, you’re getting the ink of a 300 dollar pen into your tiny little G2. What have I written in this notebook so far?
