A window into my daily stream of consciousness—the Japan years ~~~

This isn't intended to make sense to anyone but myself, but feel free to read it. It's basically a public journal.

For earlier content from when I lived in the U.S. before 2015, go to https://fuzzyrobots.neocities.org/linkstopost.txt

"hypnagogia:" (which I previously and less-accurately called "delirium:") means that it was a subconscious thought, which I had no control over. It's a dream that lasted only a few seconds and would have vanished from my memory if I hadn't immediately written it down (and I've lost many of them for that reason - when I read them later I honestly no longer have any memory of them). These entries are essentially a dream journal for very short dreams in the daytime. Some of them are completey bonkers, and I wish someone would use them as creative writing prompts for short stories, or draw short comics about them or something. [updated 2020/07/08]

"songs:" are whatever songs randomly come into my head at that moment, not what I'm actually listening to. (It's all from memory because I have almost no opportunities to listen to music.)

memories:

burgundy
We had a generally weird substitute teacher for gym class one day in elementary school (around 2nd grade?) and he told us all to sit on the burgundy line on the gym floor and none of us in the class knew what he was talking about, and we teased him. Burgery line? What's a burger line? I think we always called it maroon. I thought this was an important word for a color that I should memorize and that I'd need the rest of my life, but I've never heard it since then.

言い忘れましたが、製品の名称自体が気になっています。決まったことでしたら仕方がないはずですが、サンプルの本物のトランプには、英語で「Trump」が箱に書いてあります。綺麗にわざわざ設計されたロゴみたいです。しかし、trumpとは和製英語で、全然使わない言葉ですので意味が通じないと思います。正式にplaying cardsという物で、cardsともよく呼ばれます。「CARDS」とは同じぐらいの寸法で文字数も同じですので、可能であれば、ロゴで置き換えればいいと思います。（全部大文字では、小文字のdの縦の棒が邪魔になりません。現状のロゴと同じように、最初のCを上へ伸ばして大きくして、最後のSも下へ伸ばして大きくしても、設計的にいいと思います。）

特に心配なのは、数年前から今年の年末までもニュースに非常によく出ているDonald Trumpしか連想しません。すごく嫌われている人で、現代の一番イメージが悪い政治家かもしれません。悪い意味で愛国が強くて、酷い人種差別のことを言いがちですので、異文化に興味があって海外旅行する人こそがトランプ氏に反対です。

その他に、ロゴの上部の「Habit of Japan」がおかしいです。簡単に修正すると、複数形にして「Habits of Japan」にすれば文法的に大丈夫です。しかし、habitとは、たばこ中毒や爪を噛んだり毛を拭いたりする癖などの悪い解釈の方が有力だと思います。「Customs of Japan」がちょうどいいと思います。

memories:

last day school summer, fill backpack fun, friends different context - on the last day of school before summer break in middle school, it felt so good to put some fun things (drawing supplies? video game magazines?) in my backpack to bring to school instead of the same heavy and thick textbooks and notebooks. My bag was so light and it felt weird to use a bag for a fun purpose

putting away dorm laundry playing music - folding and putting away laundry I had just brought up from the public laundry room while playing CDs or MP3s on my shelf stereo is a really pleasant memory


after Metacon Perkins with Lam


mystery books Grandpa's house (Time Life, etc.)


first club Tropix Fishing Dark - The first time I ever went to a dance club was Tropix downtown. It was shortly after I moved into the dorm and it was with people I had met at New Student Weekend, including a really funny guy with Indian heritage, who did a voice like Apu and said his parents talk that way and he likes imitating them. One of the last songs they played was Fishing in the Dark, and everyone was singing along to it, and it felt good that other people knew it too - I thought no one else my age would know it, only me, because I listened to radio from past decades including country music that Mom played at home. Beer in cans was being sold in big ice tubs, and it might have been the first time I went to a place that was selling alcohol.

http://www.live-radio.net/homepage.php3

All the radio stations listed on this website broadcast (or webcast) their audio over the Internet using a technique known as "streaming audio". To receive them, you must have:
A computer with a sound card and speakers (or headphones)
The free software to process the streams so that you can hear the stations.
If you do not have this software, you will not be able to receive the streams. Most of the stations use either software from Real Networks (RealAudio/G2), or Microsoft (Media Player), and some use both. Getting and installing both will give you access to the vast majority of the stations listed. An increasing number of stations are now using a stream known as mp3/m3u, which requires another piece of software (eg WinAmp) to receive, but this format (in my opinion) is currently providing the best audio quality. ALL THE SOFTWARE IS FREE, and information about it and where to get it is here. Really the slowest speed of modem which you will be able to use for satisfactory results is 28.8k - most new computers come with 56k modems nowadays, but if you are still using a 28.8, it might be worth upgrading/replacing: prices are coming down all the time. There will be some stations which will not be "receivable" well on a 28.8 modem, so obviously the faster the modem, the better, and when using the Real Networks G2 player, it will adjust the quality of the audio automatically, depending on the speed of your connection - the faster the speed, the higher the quality. It really is fascinating being able to listen to stations from all over the world! Most of the stations provide 'live' audio whilst a handful have archived material (ie recordings) - the main news bulletin of the day for example (which is great if you live abroad and can't hear news directly from your country!) - a few provide both. Some have their own embedded RealAudio player on the relevant page, but this, whilst it normally works, means that you have to open a new browser to continue browsing and listening, which consequently means a reduction in your system's resources and speed.

宍喰小学校
「宍喰」の由来
宍喰（ししくい）は脚咋（あしくい）の転訛とされる。脚咋は「葦（イネ化の植物）をつくって主食とした住民」。履中天皇の時代に大和朝廷から鷲住王（わしずみおう）がこの地に遣わされ、宍喰川下流の平野部を利用した農耕が近隣地域に先立って発達した事による。時代とともに狩猟に纏わる宍（カン、しし、にく）が使われるようになり、鎌倉時代以降は宍喰と呼ばれるようになった。

"embroiled * embroidery"


その経験を踏まえ、六本木という街のあり方を模索してきました。
Based on this experience, we have been searching for the true essence of the Roppongi District.

It was based on the experience and I was groping after the state of the town called Roppongi.


大名屋敷として古くより引き継がれてきたこの土地を10数年の年月をかけ一つに纏め上げ、建築的敬意を込めて開発。
The entire area, which had for generations housed the residences of feudal lords, was brought together in a single building over the course of this ten-year development project, which developed the land while paying architectural respect to the Roppongi of the past.

Years in 10 are hung and I settle on this land taken over more than the old days as a Samurai residence up in one, and architectonic regard is included and developed.

Happy Valentine's Day! At my first job when I was 16, I listened to music on the radio all day (at a factory while making rocket-propelled parachutes for airplanes), and it was then that I started to appreciate music and individual bands and singers for the first time. There was an older co-worker who lent me CDs and introduced me to a lot of classic rock, and I really respected his opinions and taste. When I asked what his favorite song of all time was, his answer was this one. I didn't 
think much of the song at that time, but the chorus with its choir backing is powerful, and you can feel the longing in the singer's voice. "I want to know what love is."


you have proved the justice of our culture.

life reflection:

I am really experiencing this present moment, right now, on June 2, 2017. In the future, when I read this note, I want it to remind me that my memory of June 2, 2017 is not just a memory of my thoughts and writing on this date that has been implanted in my head at a later time. I'm really, currently, experiencing it consciously. However, when I do read this, will I trust myself? Yes, please - trust this! There is nothing I can say here to be convincing, despite that fact that I know now that it is true.

[2020/10/07 update: Yes, I do remember writing this note, on the date it specifies, and I remember the fact that I was consciously experiencing that moment as I wrote it. I do belive myself. However, if a false memory was somehow implanted in me to make me think that I remember consciously experiencing that moment, my experience of recalling it now would be no different than if I'd really experienced it. That is troubling. By the way, I am actually currently writing this update on October 7th, 2020. I did not write this at the same time as the original part in 2017 as a false reaction from the future. However, to someone reading this document for the first time, I may as well have; it would appear no different.]

Bringing the SNES to a sleepover at Grandma's house and renting "FFII" (at the same time as Super Bases Loaded), my first RPG, and playing it on the dining room table was a life-changing event. Playing the title screen music at high volume for Grandma to hear was extremely moving. Because she complimented it, I felt for the first time that the idea that "Video game music is real music too" was validated.

Feature request: option to send non-alerting messages in Line, FB Messenger, etc. When you just want to give someone non-urgent information, without vibrating their phone and making them pull it out to see if it's something important, or popping up an alert on their screen and demanding their attention right now. Or if you know that someone's sleeping or doing something that they shouldn't be distracted from. The message would be marked as non-alerting with an icon or something, so that it can't be used for trickery ("I replied to you, but I guess you missed it, not my fault"). It could be activated individually per message with a check box next to the Send button.

It's easy to dismiss the rambling insanity of a typical patriot North Korean who's speaking Korean as totally foreign and unreachable, without any logic or reason in their thought processes. It's surreal when someone like their foreign minister Ri Yong-ho is speaking fluent English in a dignified manner. It means that he hasn't grown up isolated in the echo chamber of his own country's ramblings. He's been exposed to all the discussions that happen in English throughout the world and is able to hear various sides of international issues. Yet he sticks to North Korea's batshit-insane positions and assertions. I wonder how someone in his position wouldn't just take a step back and acknowledge how messed up his side is. Brainwashing is incredible.

I just remembered that when I was preschool age I categorized cartoons as "raw cartoons" or "juicy cartoons" based on their visual appearance. I didn't know terms like "color saturation," so 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoons, for example, with pale and unsaturated palettes were "raw," and modern 80s cartoons like Thundercats and Silverhawks with bright, saturated colors were "juicy." I guess it was a food analogy?

The list of computers on the network in the sidebar takes a while to load, and when it does, it force-scrolls downward so that it appears under my cursor instead of my shortcut that I wanted to click, and then I click someone's computer that I don't have access to, so it sits and struggles for about 8 seconds while the UI is locked and unresponsive before giving me an access-denied error that I have to dismiss. I KNOW I don't have access - I never would have clicked it on purpose!

making a fake National Geographic cover of myself in a temple in Graphics Workshop class - people thought I only put my face over a person actually in the scene, but I had convincingly photoshopped my whole actual body into the temple - photo taken with floppy disk Sony Mavica, which I thought was groundbreaking because it needed no special cords to transfer photos

watching "hamboning" episode of Regular Show with Simon, first time I'd seen the show?

car pulling up into the driveway of previous house (Apple Valley? but probably 1st Eagan) and Mom asking if I want a little brother or sister (maybe only said brother?), and I said yes and immediately knew that I'd be getting one. Later, also I think in the car which had just pulled into the garage, Mom said while smiling "I'm gonna have a baby." and I responded "You're pregnant??"

"For a start, anion, far infrared, and magnet do not appear in the Periodic Table of Elements."

Hah! Shows what you know. All are members of the "Zūnjìng de chuántǒng wàngxiǎng" (Honorable Ancient Delusions) group in the Traditional Chinese Periodic Table (TCPT). Far infrared combines readily with some of the noble gases and is very good for men (wink, wink). But magnet (19th column, 5th period) is especially powerful and when taken with a mixture of ground Himalayan rhinoceros horn and very fresh Polar bear bile is basically the recipe for eternal life. I'm pretty sure that NCCIH has funded a bunch of studies showing this and Cochrane has reviewed it concluding that additional research is necessary.

watching Lost on my white MacBook (and sometimes Gateway laptop) plugged into the giant TV while eating frozen waffles - the marimba melody that played during the sponsor message before each episode began - enjoying being in my perfect Stage Apartment in my own room with my same green futon from my 3rd year in the dorm (the fabric even still smelled the same as that time when it was new)

memories:

When Sh was living across the street from the Sears Tower was one of the most fun times of my life. Maybe the best since college and living in Dinkytown after.

being at a faraway mall in the western suburbs (Northtown Mall?) and finding a large, high-quality LCD TV that was cheap due to Black Friday ("early doorbuster"?), and calling parents to discuss and justify to myself buying it - I'd give them my silver Sony Wega CRT. Buying it, and having my parents pick it up using the SUV from the mall later.

similarly, buying my 3D Sharp TV at the Mall of America Best Buy after Black Friday, when the TV was still erroneously marked at the doorbuster price, and calling my parents to discuss it. Having the TV delivered to the house, and it was waiting in the box in the piano room until Christmas.

The first non-dot-matrix printer I ever saw was Rick Nellis's father's inkjet, which I saw at his house when we were working on our Norway presentation for Cultural Studies class in middle school. I was blown away by the resolution and clean font rendering that made it look like a published book, and the fact that it printed on individual sheets of paper instead of a giant connected stack with hole strips to rip off the sides. I didn't know that printers like that existed. He also used a trackball.

A polaroid photo is the only photo that was really there. It's one of a kind in the world, and was created at the instant that the scene depicted was occurring. It's the only photo that's real, and not a reflection, projection, or reproduction. The polaroid photo that you hold in your hand was actually exposed to the light directly reflecting off the photo's subject. It was at that scene, and it experienced that scene.

Watching Mike play The Black Cauldron with EGA graphics. VGA games were cutting-edge and rare, but he said EGA was at least better than CGA (which was older and which I hadn't experienced). One of the few VGA games available that looked beautiful in advertisements was Rise of the Dragon. We all wanted to play it in VGA, but if we bought it it would run in EGA with inferior color palettes and resolution. He bought Wing Commander, which looked amazing in the VGA screenshots on the box (smooth color gradients and shading), but we had to run it in EGA. Another game of the era whose magazine ad blew me away with its color palette was Strider for Genesis.

"One day, a strange mark, exactly like the crest of the kingdom, appeared on the back of Link's hand as he approached his 16th birthday."

bad interface design: clicking a tab of an interface should only show a panel of that interface, and never instantly initiate a process, especially one that takes time and can't be canceled quickly. Trados violates this horribly with its Analyze tab!


calque
the syntactic calque, with syntactic functions or constructions of the source language being imitated in the target language, in violation of their meaning. For example, in Spanish the legal term for “to find guilty” is properly "declarar culpable" (“to declare guilty”). Informal usage, however, is shifting to "encontrar culpable": a syntactic mapping of "to find" without a semantic correspondence in Spanish of “find” to mean “determine as true”.

Would you be young again now while keeping your knowledge and memories (getting to live longer and experience more of the future than you normally would), or be the age that you are now and time-travel back to the era when you were young and stay there (with the ability to change the way things happened using the knowledge and memories you bring back, but getting to live less far into the future than you normally would)?
For example, let's say you would normally live until 2048. Would you rather get younger now and live until 2078, or go back to 1988 and then only live until 2018 but in a different timeline in which you could use your current knowledge? Would it change your answer if you could bring one suitcase full of physical objects with you to the past (including computer disks), and what would you pack?

Thank you, Kyle, for making this site, neocities.org, that enables me to put this out there on the real internet for people to possibly stumble across when doing web searches. It was really fun hanging out with you at Net Brew for the LAN party, and you're one of the coolest and most interesting people I ever met.

dancing to the song "Freeze Frame" as a toddler

thinking "It's Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis & the News was "Hit the 'B' Square" and that it was telling you to do a dance where you stepped on a square panel on the floor marked with a B

dancing to The Curly Shuffle by Jump & the Saddle Band and thinking it was "The Curly Shovel", and imagining piles of clipped-off curly hair being shoveled into a pile (I didn't know what a shuffle was)

loving We Built This City by Starship as a toddler and calling it my favorite song, but thinking it was "Milk Is Cereal" (I just assumed that everything was made up of the few words I knew)


I thought Pokemon was over and Yokai Watch would completely take its place, before and when I first moved to Japan. I even bought a Yokai Watch game to try to catch the trend. Then Pokemon Go happened.

I always liked Elton John's song Empty Garden but didn't know what it was about. It just had good melancholy atmosphere. (And I thought it was early to mid 90s.) I kind of laughed about him asking "Johnny" to "come out and play" in the lyrics and wondering who that was, because the name was suddenly mentioned out of nowhere in the song. Then I learned that it was a tribute to John Lennon, who was his friend, and was murdered 2 years earlier in 1980. I listened to it again and it's deeply moving.

No other small drives, even the 2.5-inch FireLite, could do that at the time. I had a bulky 40 GB external 3.5-inch desktop drive around the same time that needed its own power brick.


What I want in a laptop now: desktop-level gaming performance (even if through an external video card kit), the highest-resolution screen possible (definitely higher than 1920x1200), multiple hard disk bays, fastest-possible solid-state system drive, many USB-C and USB 3.0 ports, ability to run HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, ability to run nVidia 3D Vision, Japanese keyboard, clicky mechanical keyboard (ideally). It's ok if it's wide, thick, heavy, and consumes a lot of power.

commercial with David Lee Roth "Sad&lonely, sad&lonely!"


2019/03/04 Mo


Momo is the center of a dangerous cult here in Japan that has even latched onto major celebrities. In this shocking TV commercial shown on major networks, popular actor Hiroshi Abe and other cult members attempt to summon the demon Momo by sitting in a circle and chanting her name.
*
*
*
*
*
I'm kidding; "Momo" just means peach and it's also a common girls' (nick)name. I know I'm late to this, but here's what I think actually happened on YouTube (not based on research but on what I know about trolls). Inserting a scary face in the middle of a seemingly harmless video is a classic "screamer" (which I hate, btw). Targeting one at kids is just especially cruel. I don't think there was any "hacking" involved, but someone probably re-uploaded episodes of Peppa Pig or whatever, with the scary picture and text or voiceover or whatever inserted in the footage, using their own account, and gave it a name and keywords like any other kids' video so that kids would naturally find it by searching the site or through auto-play/recommendations. It's not a hard thing to do, so I believe the parents, etc. who say that the prank videos existed and they saw them (and therefore it's hard to call it an outright "hoax"). If the videos didn't exist at first, someone might have been inspired by the viral stories and made them.

The actual warning to be taken from this is to beware of screamers. I'll give the opposite of the usual advice and say "read the YouTube comments." If it's a screamer prank, someone (probably lots of people) will leave angry comments saying so.

When I was in elementary school I thought that gravity would just get weaker if you're far enough from the earth and that's why you float in space, not that your're continuously falling.

The years of the Heisei era, from 1989 to 2019, have taken me from the peak of childhood joy at age 7 to the bleakest depths of emptiness and hopelessness at age 37.

The last 4+ years have been without a doubt the worst of my life so far, and what's gut-wrenching about it is the "so far". There will inevitably be worse times still to come, because people are going to die, and more things and places are going to change and/or go away with nothing new to replace them. That's just the nature of life and the world and it's what every human who's ever lived has had to deal with. Clinging only to memories and familiar things as they crumble and fade is futile, but it's all I can do right now. There must be something to explore that will cause me to feel and to be inspired.

Reiwa had better be a new start.

this person on the internet had exactly the same experience as me:
"Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'til it's Over." I guess I was about 9 or 10 when the song came out. I was tuned into his bigger hits of the day since I liked rock and watched MTV, but I only remember hearing "It Ain't over..." a couple of times on an adult contemporary station my mom would listen to.

Years later, as a college student I started listening to a lot '60s and '70s R&B. So off I went looking for the "original" version of this song I heard a few times as a kid, getting annoyed that I could only find a Lenny Kravitz cover of it. :laugh:

I had no idea when I'd first heard the song as a kid that it was a) Lenny Kravitz and b) a brand-new song. Obviously, it was meant to sound old-school, so I don't feel *too* stupid sharing that story."

Attending a Convergence panel one year, I narrowly avoided making my life's most shameful public spectacle of myself. I entered late (having just arrived for the day) and knew the panel's topic but not who the guests were.

The discussion was about CG effects and what looks convincing composited with live action and what doesn't. I thought I had a great example and raised my hand. I never got called on, but what I planned to say included the comment "It looked so fake when __ was __ing in the movie __, and I found it distracting and wished they hadn't used CG at all."

The discussion moved on, and one of the guests started describing his process that he used as a CG artist to create THE SPECIFIC EFFECT in the EXACT MOVIE I had been about to ridicule in front of the packed auditorium.

    Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them
    They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world
    You likely have Bogdabots inside you right now
    The Bogdanoffs are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Bogdanoff bunker in Wilkes land?
    They learned fluent French in under a week
    Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Bogdanoff
    The twins are about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
    In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

The layers of synth in the background churn like a burning wave, and I picture a semi-post-apocalyptic dark urban cityscape with a bright red smoldering sky and sweeping dark clouds, and dirty yellow taxis buzzing around, and a Blade Runner-like protagonist watching the city from a balcony on a high-rise. The flute intro accompanies an intense build-up at dawn with the sun rising in the distance, and the music's crescendo leads up to the first note of the chorus which hits with a full reveal of the city's panorama, appearing with all its bustling intensity as the sun lights up the sky. This is the accompanying visual in my head ever since I first heard the song as a kid.]

I always hear "You son of a bitch." in my head in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice as he says it to Carl Weathers in the beginning of Predator when they shake hands, because of the celebrity soundboard prank phone call recordings that were popular in the early 2000s.


Sometimes I honestly wonder if I have some kind of synaesthesia for music. When I hear a recording of a song that I'm familiar with, my memory of the song feels like a complex metal contraption covered in notches, slots, and grooves, and the music that I'm hearing perfectly matches its shape, so that I can almost physically feel pins sliding into their holes, tabs filling slots, and the teeth of cleanly meshing gears. It's incredibly satisfying. If it's a cover version of the song, or even a really good imitation, or if something is just slightly mismatched from my memory of the song, it clearly stands out to me, and I feel the mechanisms collapse and crash. When I listen to songs, many of them bring up particular visuals, often abstract, that are unique to that song. I also feel that my own "mind's ear" has a high fidelity, so that when a song is running through my head, I'm hearing it with at least about 1/3 of the detail of the real song, which partially recreates the experience of actually listening to it. Just thinking about certain songs and hearing them in my head can move me to tears or fill me with real joy, even if I haven't really heard the song in twenty years or more. I wonder if other people experience this, and if not, I really wish I could let them feel it too.

"No, England in this period was very authoritarian."

"I made a ruckus and chased many of them into the ditch." [says a tough guy who is a realistic anthropomorphic hedgehog, yellow-beige colored, human sized, and naked from the waist up but probably wearing jeans. His torso is large and rounded and his back is covered in dense quills, but he has a muscular chest and arms, and he's walking with a menacing swagger, with his arms held out broadly and hanging at his sides. His face, for some reason, is permanently bright red and slightly translucent. He's walking down the sidewalk in the daytime on Como Avenue in Minneapolis near Marcy Park.]

"I can finally say that I'm 'Steving'."

"Ok, I'll bite. What is it?"

[in a cartoon, Batman and an anthropomorphic bipedal zebra (from Fruit Stripe Gum) are on a catwalk in a dark warehouse together. They're trying to walk through a door (into a room in someone's house, almost like a portal from Monsters Inc.) and the zebra fumbles with the doorknob with his hoof but can't grab it because he doesn't have fingers. Batman calmly grabs the doorknob and opens it so they can both enter.]

"I can bite, but a James Woods hunting experience would set you back..."

"If it means I can see my classmates again, I wanna see that movie too!"

[scrawny Tin Man like character with inhuman proportions - long, thin and twisted metal limbs but a huge kettle-like head, more similar to the book illustrations or Return to Oz - is sitting by a campfire in the woods in the daytime, and stretching out one long leg in front of him] "Yeah, I'll make it right now, with my grand foot." [people surrounding him clap and cheer]

[these garments] "aren't gendered. You just wear them in the wilderness to keep warm." [person walking through a snowy forest in daytime drops a giant round cloak on themself that's beige and white in splotches and looks like a thick fluffy pankcake, and it gently droops down and conforms to the person's head and shoulders]

"Peebles." "Ok, Mr. Longness, I'm gonna make a long-ass mark." [someone is climbing a stone wall outdoors in a grassy area during the daytime, by wedging 2 very long and thin wooden ladders horizontally between the two other walls perpendicular to it, using them like bridges, then climbing from one ladder up onto the next]

"That hot pickles will tear your face off." "Get them hot pickles." [meaning "Get those hot pickles!" - A small clear glass jar filled with transparent liquid that apparently also has high-temperature pickles in it is floating in the air, and someone reaches out and grabs it]

[the old woman who takes her pet fish for walks along the pier in Kobe] "is not repulsed by it, and actually gets a lot of enjoyment from it." [someone wants to take her fish away, and she's being shown on the TV news. The fish is like a giant trout and she carries it in her arms as it flops and squirms, but it's not suffering and can survive out of water]

"How come you've never attended dynamos as big as..." [a huge cavern that might be a circus tent is covered inside on all sides with oceans of countless sparkling jewels, and the shape of the cavern is bending and billowing like a parachute and causing them to drift and pour like enormous avalanches and making a roar of clinking sounds]

[phone call from friend, asking for advice] "...and he asked me which first line of Ghostbusters was my favorite."

[near the end of a Ghibli movie, there's a transition to a new day] "Oh, I thought all Ghibli movies took place in their own separate worlds, within the span of one day."

[a woman who has a simple giant flower with white petals instead of a head says] "I TALKED about this..."

[suitcase floating on a pond] "Maybe it's too buoyant." "Maybe it has too many John Boyants." [suitcase opens to show heads & shoulders of dozens of the same male actor, who is apparently John Boyant, wearing a suit crammed inside (alive and smiling)] "You can never have too many John Boyants." (conscious reflection: this is a completely made-up name but some people apparently have it)

"If we were forced to journey to a land with so much infanticity..." [flying over grassy hills in Ghibli-like world (Ni no Kuni?)]

hypnagogia:

"If they had their way, those who were poisoned would meet the burglar anyway."

"...and then honor that memory by doing it again." [someone reluctantly must drive a tank into a large horizontal log that's on fire so it falls off its small pedestal, then drive over it, and then keep driving over a long path of hot coals, in a field near the woods in daytime]

"It's to Smithers. Or maybe a capital D." [a stack of books falls onto a table loudly]

[old-west sheriff riding the caboose of a train through desert canyons, outside next to the railing] "That's crazy. Why would you take an action like that?" [his hillbilly underling standing nearby on the same train replies:] "TOOTH!"

"That's why we placed them with these nephews from the west coast to bother us." [a supervillain explaining his scheme]

"All other players must be in charge of all cosmetics." [announcer explaining the rules of a contest, while there are giant shadows of people swinging their arms around and getting ready to fight, cast on the sides of gray mountains on the other side of a valley in daytime]

[a human-sized Chinese Pug with a brownish-gray body and a black face is riding through the aisles of a brightly-lit warehouse/factory with pallets full of goods on each side, standing on its back legs on a pallet jack, with his front paws on the steering handles, that's cruising at a brisk speed, floating slightly over the ground like a hoverboard. He says:] "Ok, I'll prove my feelings." [and he starts furiously twisting the steering handles back and forth left and right, which causes it to destabilize and lose its floating ability and dip toward the floor. He says:] "SIX fool." [at that moment there's a brief, painfully loud squeaking-screeching sound of concrete being scraped as the pallet jack touches down.]

[top down view of a thick jungle in daytime, and a 1950s pinup woman with red hair, similar to Jessica Rabbit, sitting on a swing like those used by parrots, which is slowly moving through the trees as if on a mechanical track and pushing leaves aside, and she's wearing a green outfit like Tinkerbell. She says:] "They've actually said wrongs stolen. Friend's pickle, if you will." [sic]

"OHHHhhh. He has holes in his punk."

[two elementary school boys in the 1950s? Sandlot, soapbox-derby, and cherry-bomb pranks era, are crouched over on a country road at dusk, building or inventing something, which seems to be a contraption with a large pumpkin set on top of it. One of the boys is wearing a blue and white horizontal striped shirt and has blonde hair and an old-fashioned crew cut] "...and he's...pretty hurting. Too bad we're six weeks-" [there's a sudden very-loud low-pitched tone that drops and bends deeper, with a rough, rumbling vibration, and the camera is focused close-up on the pumpkin which seems to glow slightly from within, and then the view forcefully pulls away in a quick zoom-out]

"...and I will resent you in all my days from now on, because...I'm the only one who noticed."

"Just make it a race!" "And bet it to lose." "Well, here we go!"

[Let's see what the wave motion simulator (wave tank) says:] "I wouldn't want you to lie to me."

"I'm afraid there ARE no changes." [about 5 people sitting on wooden stools upstairs in the wood-paneled American style restaurant near the beach in Kamakura start to rapidly shrink, including the wood parts of their stools, but there are metal brackets screwed into the wood that are holding their bodies in place, and the brackets catch on their bodies and prevent them from shrinking further, and they feel relieved about this]

"I believe that Violet wants to see you."

"Wait! I just did a cosplay of the Loch Ness Monster and I'd like to hear your opinion of it."

"You're still informed, too! You're not CARRYING it in a bag." [angry, yelling Tom Hanks from Saving Private Ryan in a war-torn city]

"I would never suffer any bells or radio." [seemingly spoken by the band R.E.M.]

[In the narrow hallways of a basement-floor shop full of geeky electronics, similar to Beep in Akihabara, a shop employee (nerdy and American) is riding on a toy model of the imperial shuttlecraft from Star Wars, which is about as big as his body, and he's sittign on it like a horse, and it's somehow actually floating (with some glowing blue energy and a heatwave-like rippling mirage effect) and drifting slowly forward. He says:] "Just about anything flies around here." [Another employee (also American) standing nearby sternly adds:] "But we actually have a lot of rules."

[A sleek, low-to-the-ground, black futuristic tank (like from 70s or early 80s sci-fi, or Big Trak) a little larger than a lawn mower is driving slowly around the Hennepin County Government Center lobby at night when there are few people around. It's using red lasers projected from a round swiveling turret on top to scan back and forth and search for something, and we see it from a perspective that's right behind it and stays aligned with its point of view. There are dozens of square pieces of paper like magazine clippings scattered randomly across the floor and on furniture, and they all consist of the same illustration in color of a close-up of a man's eye (Illuminati-like?), and vary in size from smaller than a postage stamp up to the size of a postcard.] (conscious reflection: Sharmin Murrow is a made-up name and there are no Google results for it)

And most people don't even know that they're infected until it's too late to avoid spreading it themselves.

(I first heard a short clip of this song in the background of a Japanese TV commercial a few weeks ago - "I wanna get better, better better" - and I'm truly blown away after listening to the whole thing. This is the best song I've heard in years. Such an uplifting chorus. Apparently she's Swedish-Japanese and sings with a slight accent that sounds cool, similar to Bjork - that must be a Northern European thing. And I guess her song "Boom!" was released the same day that the Tohoku, Japan earthquake and tsunami occurred.

Drown - Son Volt [I think]

the song by Aimyon that plays in stores a lot

That's All - Genesis
[because I was checking how much of something was left and I said "that's all" to myself]
[The first time I noticed how much I liked the song and listened carefully to it was when the school bus driver played it on the radio on the way to middle school in the morning one day, and I was noticing a certain girl walking up to the bus from her house, and walking down the bus aisle. Her initials were E.T., and another E.T. had told me the other day that he had a crush on her, and the dark and beautiful atmosphere of the piano in the song made her seem attractive to me too in a bewitching way. That's still my primary image of the song whenever I hear it. This may be synaesthesia again, but the song is definitely orange. Dark reddish orange with some stripes of brown, and small, sharply-defined spots of yellow. Also, until many years later, I didn't know the title and thought the chorus was "It's always the same, it's just a shame, that SONG." And I would still like the song better if that were the lyric. Searching for it on online as a misheard lyric, I see that some other people thought the same thing!]

People make fun of the lyric "Are we human, or are we dancer?" by The Killers because it's grammatically incorrect and kind of nonsensical, but that's excatly why it's beautiful and inspiring. To be "dancer" is superhuman and beyond ordinary existence, and it's a concept and state of mind that smashes through verbal communication, without caring about rules - it's a pure feeling.

[to the tune of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band:] "It was 20 years ago today, that I was with a girl whose name was *."

One of the happiest moments of my life was playing the song "I Hope You Last a Long, Long Time" from my Semisonic CD that morning while getting ready to go to my Art History class on the West Bank. And doing the face sketch in my notebook during the lecture, lost in thought.

"...difficult to be determined." [A CRT TV from the early 80s inside an antique shop is squarish with slightly rounded corners and shaped like a wide high-rise building, and colored grayish light-brown with some light-blue stripes, and dusty. On the left side is a tall vent like windowblinds, and the slats can all be tilted in unison as a person dusts it.]

[a guy gets laughed at by someone behind him, and he turns and says:] "You could make a nice gesture, wicked man..."

"I knew this kind of thing was coming, so why all the fancy deception?" [guy sitting on his couch in his apartment, waiting for attackers with guns to break open his door and surround him]

"I just sat down, and then he sat down too." [says an annoyed man sitting in a black leather sofa chair in a large living room in daytime, because a monkey-sized, flesh-colored, wrinkly, naked, male, flying fairy with one cyclops eye, covered in sparse white or transparent hair, and with dragonfly-like wings, is sitting on the back of his chair near his shoulder as he's trying to watch TV]

"I don't have any non-Gundam friends, either." "Heh heh. That's not funny."

[A man is tied to a wooden chair like a hostage in a bathroom by himself, facing a toilet.] "Toilets are harmless." [The toilet lid lifts up and the toilet is alive like Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, With the lid flapping like a mouth, and it says:] "Are you sure of that?" [long vines like tentacles, covered in small leaves, start slowly snaking out of the toilet toward the man]

[woman giving thumbs-up] "It'd be like this if by the thumb it spread."

"That's the fox's first appearance in the movie!" [someone excitedly says about a pet cartoon fox that's playing on someone's couch in their living room at night, which is next to a large window through which the full moon can be seen]

"Quick. My paddle is..." [a man is carrying a bright polished metal container in the shape of a life-size abstract turtle, hung on his belt by a clip, and it's filled up with black motor oil, meaning that he has to empty it urgently]

[this man who is suffering from an illness was the voice actor who dubbed the English dialog of the character Jin Kazama in the Tekken series of video games] (conscious reflection: I have no idea who that is, though)

"...acquiring the very first Truman shortly before..." [a narrator talks about how an old women obtained a very old black and silver camera]

"If you've got a Reagan neck, GET DOWN!" [shouts a robot that looks realistically like a female superhero with blonde hair and black clothing, who is in a 1950s diner at night, fighting about a dozen dark reddish slime monsters like from the movie The Blob. There are human bystanders in the diner who she's trying to protect, and she wants them to take cover because she's about to blast the whole room with an electric shock to incapacitate the blobs. To do this, she opens her mouth wide (but not gruesomely) and her human shell rolls back to reveal her endoskeleton down to her shoulders (the skeleton comes partway out of the human shell's mouth). The endoskeleton looks like a shiny black human skeleton with bolts and seams and other robotic details, with big white eyenballs with black pupils. The skeleton opens its mouth to reveal a large cannon which is the super-weapon.] (conscious reflection: I don't know what it means to have a (President) Reagan neck, btw)

"Hollywood 'Hal' will show me." "Because you're not here in the..." [a large residential building, seen from far away in the daytime from a side view, with grassy fields and not many other buildings around it, has a giant scoop attached to it like the shovel of a bulldozer, on long bracket-like arms, and it's rotating from the top of the buiding down to the front]

"It's a good thing she was stopped, because that would have blown through the top three floors." [a woman riding on a passenger train that's traveling through maintain cliffs has X-Men like powers, and she thought there was a threat in the train car with her, so she had her hands up around her mouth ready to shout, which would have been a sonic explosion that would rip the roof of the train off and send them all flying off the cliff, which was envisioned, but someone sitting next to her put their hand on her shoulder and stopped her.]

"Guys. Guys? A dribbalone, guys." [(conscious reflection: I have no idea what that means) A cartoon mouse is being grabbed by a cartoon cat, like Tom & Jerry, and the mouse is talking as he keeps squeezing out and prying himself from the grip.]

"Let me tell you: they're just materia."

"...solicitations from the SAME-price mirror." "Yep, there's gotta be solutions." [people talking outside a junk shop on a rainy morning in the streets of Osaka]

"In order to navigate its environment, it actually intentionally REJECTS signals coming from [that know-it-all guy]." [A white quad-copter drone is designed not to be controlled by its supposed master, a political authority who commands drones, and is better guided by independent AI. It stops flying and flipping erratically and stabilizes its flight.]

"That's the first time you learn from yourself again." [being sung energetically in unison by a choir in a musical theater production]

"That's always the furthest from the truth. The most hated people are..."

"But here it's decent. Not really decent. You have more room..."

"Oh well, let's also wear a lot of CRACKS." [says a dainty person, naively]

The annoying guy is actually a ventriloquist, and he has the side window rolled down, and he's reaching up and holding his ventriloquist dummy above the vehicle's windshield and making it "talk" while he holds the black square corded microphone and talks through the PA system/megaphone. His buddy thinks that he's being obnoxious and inappropriate.]

"...in a place that's biomathematically made to be folded" [a large flat piece of paper patterend like white, beige, and silver Christmas wrapping paper has a thick pearl-colored ribbon wrapped around it in a loop, and as the ribbon is tightened, the paper smoothly and automatically folds into an origami frog in one motion, with the ribbon snug around its midsection.]

ideas:

In Pokemon Go, to encourage self-quarantine and avoid gathering of large crowds during the COVID-19 crisis, I think Niantic should temporarily enable "remote" raids. This would mean being able to tap on any gym that's close enough to see where there's an active raid, and being able to join the raid even if you're not currently close enough to interact with the gym. It would only be available for the free daily pass (not premium). Those who live somewhat near a gym would be able to raid once a day without leaving home, and not feel like they're missing out and wasting that day's pass. Those not living near a gym could go somewhere close enough to a gym to barely see it on the horizon, and participate from a secluded place instead of the more populated areas where the gyms are actually located. [2020/08/19 update: Well, this idea has since been implemented but it's almost entirely usless because the free daily pass canNOT be used. It's just a stupid moneymaking scheme, forcing people to pay for premium remote passes, and if they don't want their daily pass to go to waste they still have to go out and raid on-site.]

"The guy who intentionally wasted it definitely gets our wrath." [A guy wearing a giant gray welder's mask made of stone, and a body wearing sparse Aztec-like armor which is also made of gray stone (his skin and whole body seem to be, too), escapes from an angry crowd in a residential neighborhood by going inside his picket fence in front of the house's front door and shutting the gate, and the crowd stops outside the fence and keeps jeering him. The neighborhood is the one in Ebisu where I always walk between Garden Place and the Hekiga gym, but everything is artificial, like a stop-motion animated children's storybook, with cardboard cutouts and jointed puppets controlled with longs sticks. The houses, etc. in the background are multilayerd but shallow, like stacked paper cutouts, and there's an overall red glow to everything as if from a light bulb overhead.]

Since viruses aren't alive and certainly not sentient, I wonder - if it were physically possible to do so - if we could destroy all viruses on earth and make them no longer exist, without ethical objections. Would there be significant negative consequences, related to ecological balance or whatever? I've seen calls to drive mosquitos to extinction, which are actually alive. I would like mosquitos to be extinct, and all viruses to no longer exist, and think the negatives would probably be outweighed by the positives. The world would be a better place for the rest of its life forms without them.

Then it suddenly scatters as if blown by the wind and sprinkles all over the students at their desks who are watching.

Little Black Backpack - Stroke 9

You Talk Too Much - Joe Jones

Squonk - Genesis

Heart of the Sunrise - Yes

Move Along - The All-American Rejects


I just found out that Keith Courage in the Alpha Zones, the first 16-bit video game I ever saw or played (on the Turbo Grafx 16 on display at the Children's Palace toy store), was actually a game based on the 1988 anime Mashin Hero Wataru which I'm now working with.


Searched for "I'm gonna do what's called a ProJared move" and was not disappointed.


memories:

Shortly after buying my Pontiac Grand Am GT, taking it for a drive at night with empty streets, stopping at the beginning of an entrance ramp to the 35E freeway, putting in the CD of Fragile by the band Yes, playing the first track, Heart of the Sunrise, flooring the accelerator, and watching the speedometer and tachometer on the fierce red guages climb to the top as the song's grinding guitars and roaring engine climb up the scale in unison


hypnagogia:

"Raise your hand if you're pretty excited about the Trump supporters leaving." [says the tour guide in the basement of the James J. Hill house in St. Paul, just as a lot of the people on the tour look grumpy and walk away. Most of the remaining people on the tour raise their hands.]

"I have, after such an artistic foul, begun on that day..." [says a white marble statue of a man with long slightly wavy hair, whose upper half we see, in the round atrium of an art museum, and he's looking toward the ceiling with his arms spread upward and half-bent, and he is spinning and the camera is rotating too while staying focused on him, while glittering gold dust and fluttering laurels swirl around him and rise up like in a whirlwind]

"I know people who are way more depressing than to even qualify as him." [sic]

"Fix the shits. They should be called 'people'."


Tokyo right now is an oil-soaked rag next to a bonfire.

hypnagogia:

"We don't have the resources necessary." "Sure you do. Look at 'Earth: Final Conflict'."

"...and I just remember him, walkin' by himself..." [a lost family member at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival was finally found walking alone across the edge of the parking lot toward the car, through clouds of brown sand and dust, and the woman who found him was recalling how relieved she was]

"...and by that, you just called a windy paper guy a bad name. I will not stand for it."

"You disrespect the revolver if you stick it through that-" [tough guy with large dark sunglasses talking on TV news program, and the place is covered by red circle onscreen]

"You go in for assembly, and that's the best perfection." [complex lego scultpures are building themselves as the pieces swirl around the model like a cyclone and attach themselves in the proper places]

"You fool - don't you see that we should MAKE stone." [says a person to a tortoise that can understand him, which is standing on a grass pedestal in the middle of some rocky canyons]

"You'd do this long math calculation, then tell us that the answer is 12." [a student in a middle-school math class accusing a math-genius classmate of trolling everyone as she demonstrates a problem on a blackboard]

"I haven't licked it in shape yet." [says a smirking devil looking sideways at the camera and flicking out his long forked tongue]

"It's just kind of...up there. Straight out there." [a human-sized talking anthropomorphic duck from outer space, which may very well be Howard the Duck, is talking about where his homeland (home planet) is and points generally up in the air, then at a spot in the night sky]

"Before he said wow...what a spook."

"But sometimes...it's a clappy hands." "It's a pick-me-up." [a bunch of white gloved hands like Mickey Mouse's are stacked vertically and moving up and down to clap together with the other hands that are above and below them, and people watching this say that it cheers them up.]

"Look, I want you to bring it down here, a notch." [a guy complaining about noisy commotion in an apartment building, and for some reason there's a light switch near the door that's a glossy gray and black vertical half-cylinder with ridges and there's a small rectangular hole that acts as a motion sensor or something and red light glows from inside it]

"...hands might have been dirty during his first party." "Hal!" [a birthday party-like celebration in a suburban home]

"Because of course it would be the worst thing you can think of."

"What are you waiting for now? Yourself to get fishy?" [2 people having a confrontation on a side street in Japan (near Gotanda Station?) on an overcast day with rain puddles on the street, and one of the people is partway transforming into a fish while still walking on 2 legs, and seems to be struggling because maybe he doesn't want to]

"...but it doesn't help either way." [some scientists similar to the Mythbusters are standing on both sides of a slab of raw red meat shaped like the Wu-Tang Clan's logo (pinkish with marbled fat, not dripping or juicy) about the size of a dinner plate which is resting at a 45-degree angle on a pedestal]

[2020/08/21 update: It still seems like the best laptop in the world, but its probably-fatal drawback is that it doesn't seem to be available with a Japanese keyboad layout, and it doesn't have a webcam. Also, although it supposedly launched in June or July, there's still almost nowhere to buy it, and the places that do list it for sale have it at double the originally announced price. I also wish the 4k screen had a faster refresh than 60 Hz, and wish it had an optical drive (but I'm sure almost all computers will lack them from now on)]

"...but if you see this one, look out! It's attack-with-your-mouth and run!" [in a cartoon environment filled wtih beige rocky cliffs (kind of in the anime style of the Captain Power VHS tapes), there's an enemy creature that's more dangerous than the others - it's like a giant flower with a thick vine body that can slither around freely, and its flower-head is like a lamprey mouth with a circle of sharp teeth]

"I was thrown into this mid-tussle."

"Just look at these swapped calendars. It's no wonder we can't agree on anything."

"He knows exactly what you mean." [says Mary Poppins while a friendly grasshopper that she conjured outside in the front yard of the mansion puts its face close to the camera]

"Just lay some chocolate from it down, and I'd be willing to pay for it."

"Because they pretty-much just released their prehistoric pictures." [walking along the harbor in Taiwan near where the giant rubber duck was]

It's very strange to think that a virus, which isn't even alive, let alone something that thinks or has any intentions, spreads itself and multiplies only because it randomly happens to do so. The ones that randomly didn't are gone now. The logic seems circular, but that's what DNA does. The fact that we exist and are sentient is for the same reason. Sentience of a being causes its genes to be passed on more frequently.

[about 8 life-size all-chrome statues of the Looney Toons characters standing together are in the bar/party room upstairs at Coffman Union at the University of Minnesota that's reserved for private parties, and the lights are off. As the yelling starts, the tops of most of them are sliced off in a fast sweeping leftward motion by an invisible force, all at the same height, which cuts off different amounts of each of them because of their varying heights - for example, the Porky Pig statue loses a few inches from the top of its head and its ears. A little of the insides of the statues can be seen through the holes, and they're hollow and empty except for a layer of crumbly gravel-filled concrete about 2 inches thick just beneath the chrome]

"...and tapioca foor! COME on."

[in an idealized and plastic-like colorful 1950s neighborhood like in Edward Scissorhands on a sunny day, a tough-looking man dressed in black is standing on his house's front step in a stern pose with his hands on his hips, and a woman approaches him to talk, and she has a human head, with 1950s-styled brown hair and somewhat dark skin, and is human sized, but her body is a walking anthropomorphic sunflower. She has a wit and a snarky attitude and she confronts him by putting her flower-petal hands on her hips and making a side-eye frowning face, and then her body twists counter-clockwise into a loop, snapping in quick movments like a ratchet and making a clicking noise, so that her body stem is now a lolly-pop shape and her head is past upside-down at about a 230-degree angle]

hypnagogia:

[Hitler (his ghost?) resides or is imprisoned in the center of the sun, and a space probe that was launched from the earth on a mission is now supposedly passing through the sun. Its position was being tracked until it got near the sun, but then solar flares or whatever started interfering with the signals and we lost contact with the probe, as expected, and don't know its exact position. However, based on calculations, it should now be pretty much in the core of the sun where Hitler is, and the timing is right for it to do its mission (destroy Hitler's space-ghost, maybe?). A scientist cynically comments on this, and he thinks that there's some kind of conspiracy working to sabotage the mission. Why is there still no sign that it's been accomplished? Sure enough, the probe's position becomes detectable again, and it's already beyond the sun's core. A news broadcast on TV shows headlines saying that right-wingers in the government purposely altered the probe's trajectory so that it would pass through the sun off-center and miss Hitler. We see live telescope video of the sun as the probe emerges from the sun on the far side with a splash, shifted up and to the left from the center, and continues out into space. Most people knew that this would be the outcome and they shake their heads and begrudgingly say "Well, what can you do."]

school memories:

I learned my first-ever kanji accidentally when I was in 5th grade, because of Mike Wacker. One morning as a prank, Mike told me that he was going to show me a trick after lunch and demonstrate telepathy or something like that, using "Chinese numbers." During recess that day I went to the school library (the internet as we know it didn't exist yet), found an introductory book for learning Chinese, and I memorized how to write the characters for 1 through 10.

When Mike met me that afternoon, I told him that I'd studied to prepare. He seemed taken aback and said "Well, I don't think they're actually symbols from China..." and he proceeded to do the trick while scribbling made-up symbols on paper, and apparently I was supposed to notice how many fingers he was holding out on his other hand which he rested on his leg, in order to telepathically "know" the meaning.

Anyway, I never thought about those kanji for numbers again until 9 years later when I took my first Japanese class, but I still had them correctly memorized (except for "7", maybe).

"This- This so URban." "I'm just on the other side of this door."

[a man is just a head and is trapped inside a rectangular box-shaped case made completely of a tough clear plastic like plexiglass?, and the head-man is not injured or panicking or anything, so being just a head is normal and he can swivel around to look at things. The case was made by a crafty, sinister, evil man who is Polish and he's similar to Doctor Phibes as played by Vincent Price. A man with a normal body and wearing a 1940s beige trenchcoat and hat is there to try to rescue him, and he used a sharp tool like a fist-sized razor blade with a thick rounded handle, which also heats up, to try to cut into the case. He used all of the tool's fuel for heating up and it steamed and sizzled but barely made a scratch in the clear material, only making it slightly foggy white and shaving off some white powder. The room is completely dark except for the box and the 2 people who are brightly lit from above. It seems like there's no way on earth to open the clear box because it's so sturdy that's it seems magically enchanted and defies physics.] "Good luck getting out of that one."

[says someone next to the viewer in the living room of a suburban house in the present day, watching low-fi VHS footage of a music video for the song starting to play on a CRT TV, with the song title and other song info onscreen as low-tech digital white text, and the video footage is a pan across a grayish street scene in a city like New York in the 1980s, in the daytime on an overcast day, with people sitting around and hanging out in the distance, as the song starts to play, and it's some funky analog synth. (Dang, I wish I could have heard the song and watched the video. Ok, apparently there's a song with the title "Whispering World" by a band called Royal Thunder, but I'd never heard of either of those)]

"Oh, you like cameras now." "Cra." [a woman has a large red plastic camera that look like a ViewMaster hanging from her neck by a strap, and it has her name written on it on an affixed hand-written white paper label, and a man grabs the camera (with permission from her) and looks at it up close to read her name, which used to be "Car", but in recent years she changed her name by scrambling the order of the letters to "Cra". This takes place in the early evening, maybe outside the entrance of the Wiseman Art Museum on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota campus]

[a plate of spaghetti with orange and yellow sauce on a white plate in a somewhat fancy restaurant slops off the plate and onto the floor by itself as the viewer looks down on it, leaving just a small portion of the noodles on the plate.] ♫"Unforgettabllle"♪　[croons the chorus of the Nat King Cole song that's playing over the ceiling speakers in the restaurant]

"Was it a sporting good?" "And it's believed that everything since then is because of the flood." [people talking in late afternoon behind Coffman Memorial Union on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota campus, in front of Yudof Hall/Riverbend Commons]

"Eaaagggh!" a business man wearing a tan suit, outdoors in the city near some tall buildings in the daytime, had wanted to shake hands with someone, but the person handed him a bright red colorful insect toy instead, which made his hand slimy and disgusted him when he touched it, and he pulled his hand up and back. The toy was like Creepy Crawlers or Thingmaker]

"You're going to absolutely be in the same shiv horror-fest until the opening."

[kids playing a maze puzzle on the back of a cereal box in a TV commercial for cereal in order to get the milk to pour out of Tom Hanks's body (because it's filled with milk in a cartoony way for some reason) - seems inspired by the Obvious Plant Rubick's Cube that's full of milk that pours out when you solve it]

"Ahh Tamarao." "Oh, tomorrow they're going to come to life." [idol-type life-size sculptures of dinosaurs among temple ruins in South American will come to life and terrorize the people the next day according to a well-known prophecy]

"Paint enough pictures to celebrate the world." [said by New York governor Cuomo, despite chaos of coronavirus around him in the city]

"River reeds?" "From my good soul." [something about Marvel-type superheroes]

"...to entertain their dogs. Yeah. I hesitated to go there..."

"...with a pretty nice inter-voice subject." [a robot about 3 feet tall made of dull medium-gray metal with a human body but a cartoon cat's head is clenching its sharp jagged teeth which fit together like a bear trap, and blowing air through them to whistle]

I hope that someone is reading and enjoying this. Someone who stumbled across it, unguided and unprompted, here on neocities.org, in all the vast wilderness of the internet. I especially want people to read the "hypnagogia". Some of them are so weird and awesome that I really want to share them. The best part is that they're not "lolrandom" which always ends up trying too hard and being cliche. They are genuinely random, and are subconscious so they're literally not trying to be anything, which is why they make so little sense.

I remember a joke on the sitcom Home Improvement that I thought was funny and clever when I was a kid: Tim was at a party talking to a group of people and telling them something like "My wife is SO boring." and just at that moment, his wife came into the room and overheard him, and asked "What did you just say?" He replied "oh, that you're SOBERING." in the sense of thought-provoking or mentally stimulating. Because of that, when I read the phrase "so boring" I hear it in my head as "SOHbhring" with the wrong rhythm and emphasized syllable.
I tried searching
wife "so boring * sobering"
and there are just 3 results, and 2 of them are about Tim Allen and Home Improvement, but the word "boring" or "sobering" isn't anywhere in the article. Maybe it matched someone's comment which was cached by Google but hidden on the site (although I can't find it on the cached page, either). If those search results weren't in reference to this specific joke, it's really a weird coincidence that those keywords found them.


internet memories:

lilnicewolf


where I learned words for the first time: [2020/10/08 update]

volume - knob on police radio scanner

squelch - knob on police radio scanner

stop - stop signs, including a cardboard one my parents made for when I pretended to drive around the basement

sale - newspaper ad inserts

davenport - Grandma & Grandpa Steinback's couches

choke (for an engine) - the little black rubber button on the boat that Grandpa Steinback drove in San Diego when I was 4

sober - an episode of the sitcom Blossom where the main character's brother had a drinking problem and was relapsing and sneaking drinks from a bottle of hard liquor

fluency - the first Word of the Day in Mrs. Ragis's 3rd grade class, and simplistic drawings demonstrating the words were hung up one-per-day around the classroom near the ceiling - this one showed a woman cooking as many different kinds of cookies as she could think of, but in real-life usage I've only ever heard it in reference to language ability

bipolar (psychiatry) - Dr. Drew Pinski on the Loveline radio talk show

goiter - Tim Allen on the sitcom Home Improvement joking about his medical condition

veldt - Final Fantasy VI on SNES

accellerator - Pole Position for Atari 5200

countermeasure - Countermeasure for Atari 5200 - I thought that it meant measuring the length of a kitchen counter using a measuring tape and the title made no sense to me.

martian - moon base toys - Grandpa S. called the green and blue alien figures "Martians" which I'd never heard before and I thought it had something to do with marshmallows. I didn't realize until about 8 years later that the word has anything to do with Mars (I thought it was just a synonym for "alien"). There was also the 1950s sitcom My Favorite Martian which I watched on the "TV Heaven" channel (channel 40-something? I remember the "TV Heaven 45" or whatever jingle).

Venusian - a Calvin and Hobbes comic - Spaceman Spiff meets a "Venusian" on Venus, which is a word I'd never seen before (and have almost never seen since then, actually), but it made me think about the word Martian and it was then that I realized that it means "from Mars".


I searched for "moonth" because I was curious about the etymology of "month", and one result was "Az fyrst, her highnes hither cumming in this seauenth moonth: then, prezented with the seauen prezents of the seauen ... " (Is that Scots?)


"nobility of no ability"


spam result while searching about "steamed hams":

"Dont know what colour to paint your localized entirely within your kitchen? want to know what garnishing to buy? Dont worry. We are here to support you gone ..."

thoughts about life:

One thing that's fascinating about dreams is that you can simply know things without perceiving them with the senses. I guess recalling a memory while awake is similar, since that information isn't coming from current sensory input (it's just something that you already know), but in a dream you can already know some fact without ever having to see it, hear it, feel it, etc. It could even be an entire background or history of some fictional civilization, or just a mood or emotion. I've felt like I had long been a part of a dream world that doesn't exist as fact or fiction outside the dream, and had a life established within it leading up to that point, and had complex memories about past events and other places in that world, even though it was all made up by my subconscious mind in an instant.

In dreams I also often see sights that are more beautiful, complex, and awe-whinspiring than anything that exists in the real world, or even in art and fiction. Most often it's impossible architecture or cityscapes. In the dream it's actual, detailed, full-color, in-motion, fantastic visual scenery that makes me want to drop to me knees with my mouth hanging open and tears streaming down my face, too weak and overwhelmed to do anything but stare and soak it in. But my suspicion is that it could be brain trickery.

If I could transfer those sights out of the dream and recreate them in real life, on a video screen or even as a direct sensory experience through my optic nerve, would they trigger the same response and actually impress me? Would they really be that amazing? Or is my reaction and evaluation itself also a part of the dream? Am I responding to it and appreciating it in the dream as my actual, honest, objective, real-life self? Or does the dream just feed my brain the fact that "this is beautiful"? Do I awake from the dream with a "false" memory implanted by the dream? Not a real-life, waking memory of the fake sights of the dream, but a fake memory of having seen something that was supposedly beautiful. Maybe my subconscious mind didn't actually bother to create and show me anything that was truly so amazing, because just giving me the "trust me, it was beautiful" memory achieves the same narrative result. If we can be manipulated this way by our own minds, I don't know if I should be disappointed or actually more impressed.

most important movies for their connection to my personal life:

The Aristocats - first movie I saw in a theater, with my Grandma

Indian in the Cupboard - saw in the theater with Grandma and brother, and there was a trailer for Operation Dumbo Drop, and grandma asked "Is that a movie about a lemon drop?" and we both thought that was funny afterward, but also shown was the trailer for Toy Story, and it was the first I'd ever heard of it. That moment was the beginning of the era of CG animated movies.

The Sound of Music - I've only ever seen it once, but it was Faye's favorite movie, and we watched it together on VHS in her dorm the first time I stayed at her place, shortly before Christmas 1999

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - watched it with Faye in her dorm (also VHS, borrowed from front desk) after the Sound of Music

Commando - watched it for the first time in my dorm with Harry, Dave, and Eddie (or at least 2 of them) on VHS borrowed from the front desk

The Land Before Time - saw it in the theater with a big group of kids from school who I didn't know very well, but it was Erik J.'s birthday party and we all rode in a van and it really felt like an adventure

Jurassic World - saw it in the theater in Roppongi on one of the last days of freedom that I had, with A.Y., the day after I went to a party in Shibuya at a crowded Sharehouse where lots of artistic Japanese people live

[in The Simpsons, a boy among a group of kids is reaching over a railing and using a long tree branch to try to pick up a tattered red hat (baseball cap?) with a hole in it, which is placed on its side against a wooden-plank wall (of a treehouse?). Apparently, "dream trappings" are the physically-impossible phenomenon of some object or element of a dream escaping into the real world and affecting it. I don't think this term exists, but in my 2-second dream just now it was well-known enough to be used on a mainstream animated sitcom. In this case, if someone was wearing that hat, and fell into water, for example, when they woke up, the hat would have been wet if it were one that's affected by this phenomenon. The kids are disappointed that it's a boring ordinary hat.]

[just one result]


I had a dream on Sunday night that was not lucid, in that I could not control the events or environment, but I was completely aware that I was dreaming, able to comprehend the situation, and in control of my own actions. It's happened about 8 times before, but this was especially clear and vivid. In one scene at the end, I was standing in the kitchen of a house similar to my parents', and 3 people were standing around me who I know in real life, and we were all talking. I focused on one person, M., and was fascinated that her movements, facial expressions, voice, and the words she chose to speak were all just chosen by me, who was also "conscious" and observing it. I said things to her like "Do you understand that you're not real, and you're just my own brain playing with me?" "Yes, of course." Past dreams where I became aware of it being a dream often dissolved into chaos and fell apart, ending and waking me up, as soon as I started acknowledging and saying out loud that it was a dream, especially where other characters could hear it. This time, it continued for at least a couple minutes before the dream fizzled away and I woke up, and the world remained perfectly calm and stable even as I played around with the fact that it's a dream. In an earlier scene, we were outdoors and I was walking a large lizard on a leash and harness, similar to an iguana but about twice the size and with smooth skin, and distinctly heavy and difficult to control. There were still nonsensical things happening, and the lizard transformed into a small orange pouch with a black zipper made of a windbreaker-like fabric, right in my hand, and I could feel its weight gradually reduce to almost nothing. I still had the pouch in my hand inside the kitchen in the last scene, and I handed it to M. She took it, and I asked "What does this object look like to you? What do you see? Do you see it as the same thing as me?" understanding that dreams are often inconsistent. I was wondering briefly if she might actually be another real person who's asleep, having a dream somewhere, and sharing this dream space with me, and to her the object would be something else because it was generated by her own mind and not mine. But I was skeptical of that possibility and quickly snapped out of it, realizing that no matter how realistic other people might seem, they're all simluated by my mind. "Well, it's an orange pouch with a black zipper. Why?" she answered. "Of course you're going to agree with me. You are my own brain. You know and perceive exactly the same things I do - nothing less, and nothing more." I said out loud that "This is a really cool dream, and I'm going to remember and think about it a lot after I wake up." How could those people seem and act so real, and not even seem like they're simply a part of me? Acting like separate humans with their own intelligence and personalities, like AI simulations in a computer.

[old Uncle Scrooge comic books, in which there are light-orange translucent containers vaguely shaped like people and maybe designed to contain people, but they're geometrically simple and mostly featureless, but with horizontal ridges as markings like a graduated cylinder or measuring cup, and have nothing inside them except that they're being methodically filled up with a dark orange liquid through hoses, and maybe it's Mercurochrome?]

"Two elves. (Those with their road ahead...)"

"...and I went to Alabama to find a jellyfish. (There weren't any good ones this year.)"

Honda's Sumo Torpedo move in Street Fighter II, and he's randomly turning left and right instantly at right angles without losing momentum like the old Snake video game or a Tron cycle, while collecting rings, etc.]

"Are those perspirant or antiperspirant?" "They're sprint." [In the living room of a house that's about 100 years old, in the city, with walls covered in flaking dark-teal paint, dimly lit through sunlight from the windows, a man is holding small thick cylindrical chunks of volcanic rock with magma inside that look kind of like oreo cookies, one in each hand, at eye level, and the magma that is leaking out in some spots is hot and pinkish-red for one of them and for the other it's cold and blue. Another man is asking about them.]

[Joe Biden is at an outdoor festival under a tent in the daytime and hands a glass of beer to the viewer while saying:] "Hop-barley nonsense."

[a guy has opened the sliding-door futon closet in a Japanese hostel and is rummaging through a pile of crumpled blankets (somewhat stiff and coarse with a fuzzy texture, in Native American-like patterns in maroon, gray, and small patches of yellow) on the shelf and finds a banana hidden among them] "That's a banana." [Noah O. who is standing next to him comments:] "Yeah, it's pretty blatant, isn't it. It was waiting there for you in the one that's not used."

[a middle aged man with a serious face and gray hair and wearing a gray suit is standing in a futuristic maze with dark gray walls and a lighter-gray floor and some glowing blue parts in corners and seams, and there's a small humanoid robot (beige and white and looking kind of like a ball-jointed doll) sitting cross-legged and hunched over in a recessed area across the corridor, which is holding a white segmented cord in its hand that leads up to the man's body, maybe connected to his chest? The robot sends a sparking yellow pulse through the cord which takes about 1 second to travel up to the man, and it enters him and takes control of him. Another man watching from a different room (outside the maze?) through a surveillance camera says:] "It's a strength puppet." [A more authoritative man watching with him says:] "You say that it's a puppet, but since he's here among all the regular people, they're in danger."

"The only thing I get about this is Hana-the-Looloo." [frustrated man with flat-top hairstyle holding up a cheap baby-doll]

[a man is sitting across a table in a small black room like in a prison or police station, being interviewed by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of the music for the Final Fantasy series of video games through the 16-bit era, although it seems more like an interrogation. The man being interviewed had entered the room wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, but now he took his shirt off out of respect and put it away in a bag, because wearing a black shirt in this environment would have stolen energy from Nobuo Uematsu (for some reason).]

"That at least one observer exists at this very moment. It is the most apparent statement that we can experience and test. It is an axiom that is so obvious that it cannot be disputed. We can dispute the definition of observer and of existence, and of now, but any reasonable definition of these concepts would likely include humans in the present.
That there is an observer for phenomena is the basic requirement for the scientific method to function."


It's been really disappointing to learn (but necessary to understand) through social media in recent years that nearly half of Americans are some combination of embarrassingly unintelligent, shockingly gullible, and/or horrifyingly evil. Those traits come together very often in people who are like predictable caricatures. You know right from the start of interacting with them what their stance on almost anything will be. They blatantly disregard science and indisputable facts, and they actually seem to be proud of being wrong because they just want to oppose the particular people who are telling them the truth. "Ignorant" is an inadequate word because it suggests that they're lacking information, which isn't the case. If it were mere ignorance I could be forgiving. Instead, it's pride and malice.

The band name "Eagle Eye Cherry" should mean a cherry with an eagle-like eye, but that's difficult to visualize. I've always imagined an eagle that has a cherry as one of its eyes, instead. "Cherry-Eye Eagle".


technology memories:

The first MP3 file I ever heard was of the song Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry, in the 1990s when the song was new. I downloaded a program called MacAmp (which I'm sure was named in imitation of WinAmp) in OS 8 or OS 9 for the purpose of playing it. I was blown away by the high sound quality and it was surreal to listen to. (It was probably 128 kbps, but I was used to 8-bit monaural 22 KHz AIFF and WAV files.) It sounded particularly loud and rich and immersive with its stereo separation, even on the little desktop speakers that came with my Apple external CD-ROM drive. At that time I had been listening to music in the .mod format, which is from Amiga computers and similar to MIDI but the files contained their own instrument samples so they tended to sound better than default-instrument MIDI songs, and one variation of the MOD format is called S3M. Eric called me on the landline phone and said that there's a great song called Funky Cold Medina that I should hear. I should search the internet for an MP3 of it to download, he said. I'd never heard that term and I confused it for the S3M MOD format. I did a web search for MP3s in general and found a page that was hosting MP3 files as direct HTTP downloads from the page, which would take forever over dialup, and would lock the web browser and prevent you from doing anything else on the computer until the download would finish hours later, and it could be easily interrupted by someone picking up the phone in the house, or random errors, in which case it had to be started over from the beginning.[[]]

When it's realeased, I expect the headline of every review of Cyberpunk 2077 to be just the word "Breathtaking."


Someone recently posted the question "If you could say any 3 words to your 18-year-old self, what would they be?" At this point, I think it would be "2019 pandemic Wuhan" so that I could try to warn the world to watch for its emergence, isolate it, and eliminate it. Seems futile to get anyone to listen without evidence and not see me as insane and delusional, but it would be worth trying. Sounds like the movie 12 Monkeys. Actually, the word "coronavirus" would probably be better than "pandemic". Although "pandemic" implies the scale and severity and thus the necessity of preventing it, it's very broad and people wouldn't know what kind of diseases to monitor. Just the fact that my future self had used such a precious opportunity to tell me the name of a disease would already imply that the disease is related to a disaster. So I would say:

When I was in 1st grade, girls in my class sang "There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance. There's a hole in the wall so the men can see it all. But they don't care because they're chewing their underwear." I always thought the last line didn't make sense and didn't even fit the rhythm, and sure enough, it doesn't seem to be consistent among different versions on the internet. Kids probably just made up their own lyric that rhymed and was somewhat naughty, even if it was absurd and wasn't clever.

Natural Woman - Carole King

"...there were more people born in Twin Harbors than there were all children put together." [arial view of a town similar to Duluth, Minnesota, flying slowly over water with rippling reflections at dusk]

"I believe it was BATTERY. Never worked." [audience members in a dark theater watching a stand-up comedy show are crying loudly into tissues instead of laughing]

[TV news report from a beach in Japan, with 3 young Japanese people dressed in uniform-like daily clothes (not beachwear), each of them answering the reporter's question with: "Ditto." "Ditto." "Ditto." [the reporter continues narrating, in English although it's a Japanese TV station:] "The 'Wings on Icarus' trend has caught..." [footage shows the rolling waves on the beach in late afternoon with people playing in the sand and water. What's being discussed is a concerning fad that started on internet forums and/or social media.]

"Sweetheart, or..." [an old-west wagon traveling along a trail through prairies is parked by the side of the dusty road in daytime, and the wagon is a giant wooden barrel on its side (flat ends to the front and back), made of medium-brown wooden planks, and with large thin shiny brass wheels with thin spokes, and a man and a woman are standing next to it and talking. The man is wearing an ornate black suit from the era with a top hat, and the woman has shoulder-length blonde hair and is wearing a poofy white formal dress and is making a playful gesture with her hands raised up by her shoulders, palms facing forward and fingers clasped]

"And when I get nervous, I think they're gonna start a him over here too?

Duck Hunt for NES melody that plays before the round starts as the dog is sniffing the ground, and the muffled *bark bark bark* as he jumps over the bush.

I loved Stage Apartments in downtown Minneapolis and it's the best building in the best location I ever lived in. But for some reason I also really feel drawn to the Merimarc (sp?) apartments near Orchestra Hall downtown, a cheaper place that was older, bare-bones, on a low floor, and in a less convenient location. There was something charming about it that felt like home. Maybe because it was the first downtown apartment I ever looked at and I hadn't really thought it was possible to live in such a place up until that point. Urban living felt within reach for the first time when I took that tour. In terms of the buildings' immediate surroundings, Stage and Merimarc are in much more lively, dense, urban, and exciting settings than the current sharehouse in Tokyo, which is in a quiet residential neighborhood - but I guess that's the kind of peaceful place where most people want to live. I want to be in the noisy middle of everything again.

technology memories:

I was really disappointed to learn that Apple's iPod wasn't simply a USB mass storage device that let you drag and drop your MP3 files into whatever folder structure you want, letting you browse the folder hierarchy from the device and play the songs wherever they are. This is how my MP3-compatible Rio portable CD player worked and I loved it. Having to manage and transfer music using iTunes is inconvenient, extremely limiting, and awful even today. Because of that I don't have any music on my iPhone, even though I really want to - it's too hard to get it in there.

[2 people are walking in a very wide and deep ditch shaped like a skateboarders' half-pipe, slightly curving back inward at the top, that runs along a freeway, covered with long, medium-dark green wet grass that's matted down, in the late afternoon, and there are some drainage grates in the deepest part in the center, and large light-gray cement pipes that stick out about 20 ft. from the vertical hillsides toward the center of the ditch, and slowly oozing out of the ends of the pipes is bright golden-yellow honey that glows and is translucent with sparkling speckles inside, and the honey pours down into the grates in the bottom of the ditch]

"They're called frozen...avolidations." [in a Harry Potter-like world, a wizard seems somewhat pleased and impressed that some normal humans are frozen alive in solid blocks of ice as he looks at them up close, maybe admiring his handiwork] "Please avoid whetever you were doing that caused this."

memories:

One of the strangest experiences I ever had at a house party was with Paul in Dallas at the house of someone he used to go to school with. It was a lively party with a lot of people, and for some reason the house had a hole in the kitchen floor that was big enough for a person to fit through, which was open to the basement. What a dangerous thing for a lot of drunk people to be around. Anyway, I was in the basement talking to some people and looking up at that hole and the people standing around it in the kitchen and chatting. Without warning I reached up through the basement ceiling, grabbed the kitchen floor with my fingertips, and pulled myself up to the floor above in one smooth motion and started talking to the people in the kitchen like nothing happened. I had just wondered if it was possible, and it was easier than I expected it to be.

He says:] "You don't have to trade or anything." [You can just take it for free]

"The only thing I've got the bossy ring. [sic]" [person climbing out of a tube made of rough stone, like a cave, that's on display in a history museum raised up on a rack, and lit with bright whitish-orange lights from the inside.

Throughout all the years that I played in concert bands, ensembles, and drumline, there was just one time that we memorized a song in reverse. It was absolutely brilliant! It was the "closer" (played to close or end the show) song from the Spanish-themed 1999 drumline show. We started with the last measure of the whole song, then kept starting one measure earlier, and played through to the end each time, so that the later parts of the song and the ending gradually became more familiar and effortless. During each playthrough, we felt growing confidence and relief as we struggled through the new part we had added at the beginning but then progressed into the familiar parts we'd already memorized thoroughly. This pattern is how the song The 12 Days of Christmas and the rhyme The House that Jack Built work. No matter what I'm memorizing, I want to do it this way if possible.

It's weird to me that any screen resolutions over Full HD (1920x1080) seem so advanced and excessive at this point, because almost everything runs at that resolution since around when Blu-rays were first released.

Yet in the late 1990s I was running 21-inch CRT monitors at 2048x1536 resolution on my Mac, which had significantly more vertical lines than today's HD LCD monitors.

[father to son:] "So if you wanna launch at noon, go ahead." [Son:] "Thanks."

[a wall of a bus shelter in a city, consisting of a pane of glass with a metal girder frame painted brown (similar to the one at the corner of Nicollet Mall and Hennepin Ave. in downtown Minneapolis), is being lifted off the ground as if by a crane in the daytime while traffic and activity continue in the surrounding area, but nothing is actually grabbing on to it - it's floating through the use of small panels covered in circuitry that are affixed to it by large pieces of adhesive plastic, like stickers, that cover the devices completely. The devices can be controlled from far away like drones to lift and transport objects, although it's unclear how they physically fly and they seem to be moved through a strong invisible force like magnetism]

"I don't remember. Is that large? You know I'm gonna leave here." [says a tree that's about as tall as a person and has a human head that looks and talks kind of like Billy Crystal, which is hugging someone with its tree branch arms which are covered in leaves, and making small hops up and down to slightly move around using its roots which can barely move as legs]

"Question - I was just gonna do one for the laughs." [says a staff person (maybe a maintenance engineer) working at a casino near a row of slot machines, and he's waiting for the person using a certain slot machine to leave so he can walk over and do a test on the machine]

"You know responsively, from what I'm doing right now..." [a technician working at a retail store like Best Buy is sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the product shelves, in front of a computer terminal that's on display on the bottom shelf, and the screen is large and black and has patterns of large spaced-out rainbow-colored LED pixels sticking out from it that look like a Lite Brite toy, but they move and change color and animate as he types on the keyboard]

"...and I know without a doubt..." [a crowd is gathered around 3 detectives as one of them is making an important announcement] "...that he was the cherry pie thief." [everyone is disappointed because they didn't really care who stole the cherry pie, and they were expecting an announcement about a breakthrough in solving the serious crime that's also being investigated]

"...and jump hazards." [in a 3D video game from around the Playstation 2 era, the main character is a young boy dressed like Little Red Riding Hood who's skateboarding through a dark and spooky forest at night, with the trees forming kind of a tunnel of branches, with an over-the-shoulder view. he enters a small clearing, and a mini cut-scene zooms in and shows an obstacle blocking the path that continues back into the woods: an enormous train engine, turned sideways, which is black and Soviet-looking like the train in the movie Goldeneye with some red writing and symbols on it, and evil looking. Gameplay resumes and the player leaps over the train engine and with a "radical" upward titlted camera angle and maybe some wailing guitar music, and goes back into the forest path tunnel.]

"...words won't reach here." "And indeed, they needn't." [a yellow-beige biplane is flying low near the edge of a wheat field in rural Japan (Fukushima?) in the daytime, and the pilot is talking to a person below who is walking along the dirt road between the fields, who responds.]

"...and the fingertips are pure white."

"A whole lot of faith in...what a dream." [Grandpa S. walking slowly down the sidewalk, looking back and forth, wearing an open black or dark navy-blue windbreaker jacket, squinting a little from the sun, in a busy, dense city in Japan in the daytime under some raised freeways]

"My son wants to do another one where he points up at the..." [says a middle-aged man with a stocky build and wearing green and brown camouflage and a "tactical" vest with lots of small pouches, and he is walking through the jungle areas of the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Japan (instead of riding in the vehicle) and talking to his camera operator who's walking with him (maybe for a TV show?) and gesturing up at animatronic dinosaurs that are lurking over him, and he's wearing a strange robotic dinosaur as a backpack. The backpack dinosaur is shaped vaguely like a raptor but doesn't have a realistic outer skin, etc. It looks retro-futuristic, like the 1970s Merlin electronic toy or the Dirt Devil handheld vacuum cleaner, with bright-red triangular shapes with rounded corners and edges, covered in ridges and black seams and details. Its neck and arms are long and flexible, and it seems to be climbing from the man's back up onto his shoulders and looking around above his head (although it's still fastened to him by backpack-like shoulders straps). Its head is a small red triangle (oriented flat parallel to the ground) that flits around expressively.]

"♪ Have a good time! Good time! ... ♫" [intro song to a (non-existent) 1970s sitcom similar to Good Times, but the name is just Good Time and it's written in a funky yellow rounded font on the screen, and the song sounds nothing like the actual one from Good Times but more like The Jeffersons]

reading the book The Poky Little Puppy and when he rolls down a hill it goes "Rolly-polly, pal-mal, tumble-bumble, ker-plop!", and then reading the book out loud to David when he was a baby and rocking his legs back and forth during that part

reading A Bag Full of Pups and I think the main character's name is Mr. Mulligan or Mr. Mullen [apparently it was Mr. Mullin]

reading a book about a clumsy waiter named Jack, and all the fancy customers yell to him "Oh, waiter!" and he spills orange soup in one scene

hypnagogia:

"I ain't writin' SHIT for the little guy." [says a man on the shore of an ocean cove off-camera in an animated movie in the style of 1990s movies like Atlantis and The Road to El Dorado, and he's talking to a man (who looks like an indiginous South American) who is treading water out in the cove, then his expression slowly turns to a frown and the shadow of a shark behind him becomes visible between his legs]

"I don't think lion strength made it into this one. I'd like to see it implemented in the next one."

"I don't believe in this stuff. Is it safe?" [asks a man off-camera who is talking about 6 people in full-body solid-color suits that are each a different color of the rainbow, who are in a somewhat dark plain small room with spotlights shining on them (maybe being observed through a window in front of them), and climbing into a pyramid formation on all fours like a circus act]

[says someone off-camera while watching Zeus who is a baby sitting in a chair like a car seat on a white table in a white room, and swinging one fist around wildly while sucking on the knuckles of his other fist as babies do. There are open cup-shaped containers with powdered spices inside including tumeric and paprika hanging from the edges of shelves all around and above him, and he might knock them down and spill them while waving his arm like that]

"Monda tobetsu sou." [a man off-camera says this to a floating angel (about half the size of a human) before pulling on a cloth belt that's tied around its waist to yank it away from Bill Cosby in order to protect it from him. The angel is startled:] "Whoah!"  (conscious reflection: this prhase sounds like Japanese but it's nonsense, I'm pretty sure)

Super Mario Odyssey for Nintendo Switch theme song


How is it that the 1980s TV drama "Thirtysomething", which I guess was about the lives of people who are roughly ages 30 to 39, was supposed to be relatable for people now younger than me? I'm already older than the people who that show was aimed at, and my life was never anything like theirs. I'm not saying that I wanted to live like that - it's just that I remember seeing it when I was in elementary school and thinking "this is what the lives of old people are like." I thought "Hmm, I guess someday I'll identify with people like this and the things they do and that happen to them," because I think my parents said that that's why they enjoyed watching it. Since the time I entered my thirties myself, my image of what it's like to be "in your 30s" has been nothing like that at all (but this isn't really about that TV show, which I've never actually watched anyway - it's about my vision of life as an old person when I was a young kid). 30s is just wanting to live like someone in their 20s but you can't really anymore. Everything is just worse. There's nothing new that's good, and there's definitely at lot less that's good (or potentially good, or gives hope) about life. It's just hoping for the same things I hoped for in my 20s but having a much lower ability to achieve them, or probability of them happening. And 40s are just a sad shadow of that. I mean, there's nothing to do but keep living through it because it's the only life you have, but at this point hope is gone. This last year of my 30s is ruined by the coronavirus, so I'm already in my 40s. I had such hope for this year as a last chance back in December and January. Of course people can act however they want to act, and try to live however they want to live at any age. The problem is that Japanese people care a lot about age groups, categorizing people, and social norms, so when they ask my age, which they always do, I'm immediately dismissed as a different generation - too old and not one of them.


After looking at the rooms today, I feel giddy at the thought of moving. I'm excited, and I don't remember the last time I felt excited about anything.

school memories:

In elementary school, kids teased by asking "Are you hot or cold?" and if the answer was "hot" they'd say "You've got pockets full of snot." and if the answer was "cold" they'd say "You've got pockets full of mold." (or "gold" if they liked the person).
The same question might also have been answered with "You think you're so hot, but you're nothin' but a snot.", but I don't remember what the "cold" version was, unless they just answered with "You think you're so cool, but you're nothin' but a fool."

Another question that was lose-lose was "Are you P.T.?" At first, the safe answer was "yes" because "no" would make them say "You're not potty trained??", but eventually "yes" turned into "You're a pregnant teacher??".

Kids would also say "I'm telling on you." and when the other person asked "Why?" they'd say "'Cuz you put a dart in my heart all the way to K-Mart." (or sometimes "'Cuz you put a fart in my heart all the way to K-Mart.")

media memories:

watching My Brother and Me on Nickelodeon with our cousins on Sunday nights during dinner in the kitchen at Grandma's house. That show was one of the fakest, most awkward, predictable, and painfully annoying shows I've ever seen. It was even worse than The Big Bang Theory, I think. Each joke took so long to play out in the dialog and you knew exactly where it was going, and it was really over-acted and the laugh track made it even worse. And there were forced catch phrases, like one kid or family member who always (and way too often) said "Don't hold your breath." but emphasized "breath" with a lot of friction, ike "brbrbrEhth". And for some reason all the actors' real names sounded like elite private-school rich kids, even though they were clearly trying to be a typical relatable suburban family. And the music was so dissonant and off-rhythm and terrible (as an artistic choice) that it seriously made me laugh. The songs between scenes seemed like they were trying to sound as irritating as possible.

reading a Dungeons & Dragons role-playing rulebook for the first time and creating a character, and thinking it was really weird that there was a stat called "constitution". I couldn't think of this word as anything other than the government document, and still today, I never hear it used in any other context.

New work computer today! Dell Optiplex 7010 with Core i5 3.4 GHz. This is the first time I've used Windows 10, even though it was released in 2015, which shows that I've been hardly using computers at all since coming to Japan. But it feels so sleek and modern and advanced and clean! And the computer is fast, compared to the 2009 Core 2 Duo computer with Windows 7 from 11 years ago that I was using until now. This one was released only 8 years ago, in 2012.

media memories:

I forgot all about the existence of Reader's Digest magazine, which I read regularly in middle school and high school. I used to look forward to it every month (was it monthly?), especially for certain sections, and probably had a subscription. Maybe the jokes page? Some kind of anecdotes from readers? The "Drama in Real Life" had some memorable stories. What reminded me was that the silly Spanish word "compuchistes" popped in my head, which is a portmanteau of "computadora" and "chistes" (jokes), and when I searched for that, the Spanish version of Reader's Digest came up - and sure enough, the place I heard the word was from my Spanish teacher Mr. Saxton (maybe 9th grade?) who showed it to us being used in that magazine.

She's standing at an intersection between narrow hallways in a house or apartment, where it's somewhat dark but sunlight is coming in from a neighboring room reflected off wooden cupboards, and there's a cleanly-cut round hole in the wall revealing the wall's dark interior, about 1 ft. in diameter. Then, the reception desk of a business is shown, which is against the wall by the entrance door, and is dark blue with some horizontal red stripes, and its shape has broad undulating curves like pottery, with evenly spaced horizontal ripples, and is thickest midway up, and flares out at the floor, and there's a yellow outline of a circle at mid-height near the right side. Behind the desk is a large window with rounded corners and thinly-spaced horizontal blinds, and extremely bright golden sunlight is shining through which makes nothing visible outside the window, and no lights are on indoors.]

"But you've seen it all now, so...13 and a half pounds?" [a CRT TV with a screen about 13" is on a pedestal and the back of it is on fire]

a pirate's computer with a Rebooty menu


technology memories:

I often played PC games with Mike W. and his younger brother on the DOS computer at his house, which belonged to and was managed by his dad. Sometimes we couldn't use at because it had errors and Mike explained to me that his dad needed to "reboot" it so it could be used again. It was the first time I ever heard this word (I thought it sounded funny, and I imagined someone kicking the computer with a big brown old-fashioned leather boot, to knock some sense into it), and by the way he talked about it, it seemed like something you would only do to a computer once every few months, and seemed to involve re-installing everything and setting it up from scratch. Years later when I had my own computer I learned that rebooting was the same as simply restarting, or powering it off and on again, which is something you do on a daily basis. I wonder if he was actually re-installing DOS from the floppy disks or something but called it "rebooting".

media memories:

I clearly remember the feeling of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on NES for the first time, on a Japanese Famicom cartridge of the game that someone imported and was illegally renting out from Valley Video before the U.S. release. It had an adapter attached to it so it would work in a U.S. NES, and you had to pull a dark blue ribbon that was attached to it to get it out of the cartridge slot. The game's text was, of course, all in Japanese (there wasn't much text other than the mushroom house bonus games and the king talking before the airship boss level), and I think this was the first time I realized that Nintendo was from Japan. Dad was amused and pointed this out while watching me play, and if not for that I might not have known that the foreign text was Japanese. I'm pretty sure that the cartrige was white or off-white grayish (although I can't find any photos of one that color on the internet. I loved the exciting and detailed illustration on the cartridge label, and it's now the picture on the back of my phone (as a sticker).

"Who cares? If he goes to the garden, I'll be rid of everything." [says an old man who is a farmer standing at an intersection of a rural highway surrounded by wheat fields on a sunny day, wearing a baseball cap and large sunglasses, who just gave incorrect directions to a lost driver in a station wagon who had stopped to ask him for help, and he's talking to someone who approached him after seeing that to criticize him for intentionally misleading the stranger. The road is similar to the one leading to the lodge I stayed at with S.D. on the north shore of Lake Superior]

"I moved from Tokyo to rural Japan, and then back to Tokyo. Boy, it's been a hell of a trip for a Westerner." [a video blogger on YouTube talking to the camera with a grayish city background]


I find it non-intuitive and fascinating that if there's a 1/n chance of something occuring, and there are n chances for it to occur, the probability that it will occur one time out of n chances is (1/n) to the power of n, which is about 65%.
For example, the probability of a legendary Pokemon from a raid being shiny is usually 1/16, and a lot of people complain saying that the game is broken after doing 16 raids with no shinies, thinking that they should have one by now, when in fact the odds are only slightly in your favor at that point. Also, the odds are always the same each time regardless of what happened in the past. People have a false sense that they are "due" to win after a large number of failures. I just learned that this is called the Monte Carlo fallacy or the Fallacy of the Maturity of Chances.

media memories:

Ghost in the Shell was a groundbreaking anime movie in the late 1990s, but the first time I heard of it when someone suggested that we watch it (maybe Karl?) I thought it was related to Ghost in the Machine, which is a horror movie from 1993 that I remembered seeing a preview for on Entertainment Tonight and it seemed scary.

The first time I ever heard of "anime" was while reading the magazine Cinemascape. It was the only issue I ever had, and I think it was included as a bonus with another magazine I read regularly (maybe Electronic Gaming Monthly). I'm pretty sure the cover had a Terminator 2 endoskeleton on it, and one of the main stories was an Alien Vs. Predator movie concept that was abandoned. Anyway, an article introduced the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion which was just released, and it took up several pages and went into detail about what a masterpiece it was. And it talked about "anime" as if the reader should know what that means, and I thought it was pronounced "anEEm" and assumed it must be some special kind of cartoon. Until years later when I heard anime club members talking about the series, I thought it was pronounced "uhVAENjuhLAIuhn" like an evangelical lion.

"The people here oughta be scared out of their minds." [mutters one bodyguard-like security guard (wearing a dark gray suit) to another, with tension in his voice. About 5 of them were brought for special protection of someone onstage in an old-fashioned theater, and they're standing in the dark on the stairs near the back, and the audience members are in danger. There's a gray cloth drawstring bag full of role playing game dice in various colors and shapes, and someone is squeezing the end closed and holding it upside-down so that the bulging lumpy sack of dice is standing upright on his hand]

"And what's more, this steamroller-idiot thing..."

"I thought it was off, for some reason, because a guy was wandering in the dark."

"It just looks too SWEET to me." [the purple skunk Pokemon is acting like Sonic the Hedgehog and standing on its hind legs, spinning a gold ring like from the Sonic games around its pointer finger which is pointed upward (faster and faster with the intent to fling it away), while standing in an attitude-filled pose]

Bobson Dugnutt, Sleve McDichael, and all those other "American"-sounding names from Fighting Baseball for the SNES are hilarious. Without searching ahead of time to see if the names exist, I wonder if I could make up my own fake babeball player names that are actually believable, somewhat memorable, aren't too similar to each other, and turn out not to belong to real athletes?

"And you can live with Ernesto, who is my grandmother's favorite..." [woman is talking about someone who is emerging from around the corner in a dark hallway with ornate wallpaper off the living room in a farmhouse with no lights on but sun coming in through the windows]

"You gotta be dumb - like, Dumbo-dumb - to make that work." [Dumbo from the animated Disney movie has one of his ears pierced with a large gold ring]

"So, what about the pink rocks?" [pale pink stones on the ground worn by erosion]

"Spinal tap." "It's their favorite feed." [a braided pink electrical cord is loosely strung through the air over the Atlantic Ocean from England to New York, supported by poles coming out of the water at a couple points midway, sagging and swaying in the wind]

"That's what our digital cameras were like in the age of Gerald Ford." [explains an old man to a younger person while holding a large white marshmallow that has melted and stretched out to a point on one end, and he's standing in the open front doorway of a suburban house at the top of a few cement steps, and the young person and the viewer are in the front yard next to the sidewalk that leads to the front door]

"What, are you just tryin' to prove that I'm a procarón?" [one man talking to another as they're walking on a raised boardwalk outside a shopping area like the one near World Porters in Yokohama, and they're aggressively gesturing to each other and might start a fight] (conscious reflection: I'm pretty sure that word doesn't exist but it sounded like Spanish)

"...spent the better part of an hour having..."

[an aboslute neutral 50% gray glowing signboard panel set up in a retail shop (optician?), which customers lean thier bodies against to take a picture for some kind of analysis, maybe]

[the country of Somalia exists on top of a mountain in Europe (Switzerland?) at night, and it receives its electrical power from one wire made of unshielded twisted strands that runs up the side of the mountain and plugs into a power outlet that's embedded in the dirt facing horizontally at the edge of the summit, with a long cylindrical power plug]

"What I did the FIRST time was lost it." [sic] [Dolph Lundgren-like action hero wearing Mad Max-like post-apocalypic armor with straps and long animal tusks like spikes on the shoulder, walking urgently down a suburban street at night - maybe like the Masters of the Universe live-action movie from the late 1980s]

"Unlike the other people, I don't even want this in my house." [says Mom, standing in her house in the daytime near the front door which is ajar, holding a closed white styrofoam box about the size of a cooler that has a white label attached to the side of it with some words printed on it in Chinese in black lettering which I can't understand]

[voice of Zap Brannigan from Futurama, similar to Phil Hartman:] "He's a very confusing, powerful guy."

"Look, I'm trying to prove to you whether it's completely true or not." [says a guy playing acoustic guitar in a sunny forest in daytime, who has short dark brown hair and a short beard, and there's a giant white and reddish-brown moth with a wingspan of about 2 ft. clinging to the side of a nearby tree with its wings folded shut, which he's referring to because it's hard to believe it's real]

[turtles are repeatedly crawling down into a ditch and then scooting their bodies through a narrow gap under a large log in the lowest part of the ditch and are scuffing their shells and hurting themselves by doing so, so a naturalist is trying to encourage them to take a different route and stay out of the ditch]

"But y'all are makin' the Steve art. Not me." [a gamer talking about Steve from Minecraft]

"No. You cannot. It's too far." [says a human to a dog who is looking through a telescope, and we see the dog's zoomed view through the telescope of the back of another dog's head (white with large black spots, maybe a great dane) just past the horizon of a distant hill, who is watching an outdoor movie on a big screen on an outdoor projector, and the doog looking through the telescope wants to go join that dog]

"That's just him crying while we go to 99. Now we're going to the Earth's crust." [people in a cheesy gold-colored Flash Gordon-style spaceship flying through caverns in a hollow Earth underground]

"Today, every Fitness has a birthday." [Fitness is the name of a bunch of identical aerobic or yoga instructors wearing black spandex and sitting on the floor doing leg stretches - maybe AI characters inside a video game like Wii Fit or Ring Fit Adventure]

"Make it appear as if I've eaten an entire dictionary to shreds." [an anthropomorphic red book that's the size of a human, with arms and legs but no face, is standing by a countertop in the MSP airport that's covered in tiny shredded bits of book pages, which the larger book wants to pretend that he ate but apparently spit back out?, and he wants a person to take photos of him and the shredded book]

"...had better get along." [a man is talking sternly to a blackbear with dark brown fur standing on its hind legs next to him on a golf course near a wooden log fence, and the bear is holding a wooden mallet in its front paws, and it hits the fence with the mallet and the fence collapses while transforming instantly into a loose pile of giant dark-brown sausages the same size of the logs that had made up the fence, and they tumble and scatter on the grass.] "I'll DRY you." [says the man who is now even more frustrated with the bear.]

[guy in shirt with wide red-and-white horizontal stripes is standing in a cartoony-looking classroom like from a kids' TV show, and then he poses like a crab with his arms bent up at right angles and his upper half becomes invisible, and he is frustrated about this happening, and then a yellow worm puppet like you'd see on Sesame Street, in background on a table against the wall, was watching and wants to be helpful, so he says in a chat window that appears and floats in the air:] "what u wanna do, fam?"

"Ya know, maybe you CAN see past these." [staff members of Hotel Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima are standing next to the swimming pool and are holding both hands high above their heads and dropping small fish (like are fed to seals at zoo shows) into the lazy-river pool (which is full of customers playing as usual), and someone is taking flash photos of them as the fish are falling and finding that the fish don't show up in the photos, althogh their shadows do appear on the wall behind them, and the photographer commented on the mysterious phenomenon]

"I bet this is a fake turnstile for events." [says a woman in a Mary Poppins-like white dress who is sitting in the grass next to a wooden horse-drawn carriage that just exploded to pieces in a cartoony way and all the pieces fell onto her and around her and are sliding off onto the ground, but no one is injured]

"It's as much as his younger brother can dictate." [at the Gay 90's bar, the window of the DJ booth, next to the opened door and stairs that lead up into the booth, is broken (fist-sized round hole with cracked glass radiating out) from being punched by someone who was angry, in the room near the entrance where electronic music is played, and there's spray paint graffiti on the black wall next to it, and staff people are inside the booth and standing on the stairs discussing the fight incident]

"I can get bjorked in just 2 seconds." [says a Fall Guys PC game character as he suddenly becomes a live-action game show contestant sitting behind a podium]

"I've got some hot nut cases, and they're right here in my fist!"
(Fate of Atlantis audio edit)

watching Carson Comedy Classics sketch comedy skits starring Johnny Carson, in reruns when I was in elementary school

buying my red Nintendo 3DS, a system that had recently launched, new in-the-box, from the Akihabara Book-Off from a shelf near the entrance, when I was in Japan on vacation with Eric, one the last day or one of the last days before we flew home, and opening the box while standing next to my top-bunk bed at Khaosan Tokyo Ninja hostel, spreading out the contents on the bed and charging it with the outlet attached to the wooden bed box, then turning it on for the first time while sitting on the plane while waiting for takeoff, and creating a Mii of myself using the camera.


hypnagogia:

"Hey, let's go bowling! (That's a general compliment.)"

"You can't find the cover [of the catalog], even though it's glued to your face."

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Alan Kay (1971) at a 1971 meeting of PARC
[I usually hate motivational quotes but this is good.]


searched "at the So-so Corral" and it was the name of an episode of the TV show Moonlighting in 1985.

"I bet he wouldn't even show up to a showdown."


family memories:

Going to the amazingly complex and fun indoor playground Leaps and Bounds with the cousins. I'll never forget the sweaty-socks stench inside the plastic tunnels, but it didn't bother me too much. The feeling of adventure and exploration in a 3D space, with passages winding over, under, and around each other like a labyrinth, made me want to design an Indiana Jones-like temple exploration theme park with a volcano, lava pits, etc. (especially since Leaps and Bounds had a round room that seemed like a volcano or some kind of chamber of doom, with a trampoline in the middle, ominous rumbling noises, and a red glow visible from the pit beneath the trampoline).


toy memories:

I heard a sound like something squeaking and air being squeezed out, and remembered my little orange plastic octopus toy that's wearing a blue sailor hat and has a hole in the bottom that water can be squirted out of when you squeeze it


life reflection:

With the coronavirus around, literally anyone could be an infected zombie who just hasn't turned yet. But actually it's worse because they don't even have to bite you - they can infect you just be acting normal and breathing near you. You don't even know that you've been attacked and now you're attacking others without realizing it.


"BuilLink" kind of sounds like a person with a Russian accent saying "billing".

Return of the Mack - Mark Morrison

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

I think Prince was a really good fit for the soundtrack of the 1989 Batman movie, considering its era and mood.


family memories:

When I was very young our family often went to the Humane Society to look at dogs and sometimes adopt them, and the name always confused me because I thought "humane" was just a weird way to pronounce "human", and the place was full of dogs, not humans. "Why isn't it the Dog Society?" I thought.


"Sound me on Findcloud."


I heard that the song "Dynamite" by the Korean boy band BTS has become a big hit in the U.S., which is unusual. I haven't heard the song yet, but from the short clips played on the news, etc. it seems pretty good. I wonder if any Japanese music will ever catch on in other countries among people who aren't weeaboos.

[Simon talking, while wearing an upside-down cardboard box on his torso (with his head and arms sticking out through holes) that has an outer paper layer that looks like dark-brown wood with vertical grain, and the whole thing is covered with a layer of semi-opaque white donut glaze]

"I've never met anyone by Bey Bryan who wasn't millions..." [middle-aged woman talking at a formal high-class event while holding wine glass, wearing a black dress, and with blonde hair in an updo] (conscious reflection: I have no idea what that means.)

"We have a big group of people, and a group of young families." [about 20 people gathering for a group photo in a spacious photography studio]


Toadette uses a magic crown to become a mix of herself and Peach, named Peachette. The "ette" of her name comes from her own original name, "Toadette". Therefore, when Bowser uses the crown, the name should not become "Bowsette" because this transformation has nothing to do with Toadette. He becomes a mixture of Bowser and Peach. Maybe "Bowch" or "Peaser" is a more accurate name. Which are admittedly ugly names, but funny. This has been discussed before. However, in Japan, Bowser's name is Koopa (クッパ), and Bowsette's name is "Koopa-Hime" (クッパ姫), meaning "Princess Koopa". If the name followed the English pattern and mixed the characters' names, Bowsette would be called "Peapa" (ピーパ) or "Kooch" (クッチ). Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

This is in modern times and she's talking casually with a regular human (a researcher?) and the 2 of them are standing on the wall of a sandstone-like temple. The astonishing thing is that she has a face, although it's composed of squirming birds, and it's the face of a larger bird, like Horus, with big eyes (white with dark pupils) and a dark break, and she moves her mouth and eyes and makes facial expressions while talking, which is a visual effect created by the birds shifting around. She looks friendly and does this intentionally to be more relatable when communicating with humans.]

"You should probably get rid of them, in just jest." [says a dentist to the patient they are working on, whose mouth is wide open]

life reflection:

I can't believe that 100 years ago is now the 1920s. That feels too recent. I think that 1919 to 1920 is the biggest jump between 2 years in all of history in terms of my mental image of what the periods before and after were like.

These 20s aren't roaring.


Making gradual progress.

media memories:

I suddenly had a vague memory come back of a video parodying horror movie trailers called "The Boss's Son", which I thought was on the show America's Funniest People starring Dave Coulier, but maybe it was actually America's Funniest Home Videos as the person who posted the video says (usually, only home movies were shown on that show, not edit, professional-level story-telling videos like this one). I tried searching for it, and it was actually called "The Boss's Kid". I can't believe something so obscure, just shown once on TV around the year 1990, is actually uploaded and can be seen today! This dynamic of nepotism in the workplace had never occurred to me yet when I watched it as an elementary schooler, and I've thought about it ever since.

Here it is. The last day of my 30s. They mostly sucked. I wish I could do them over. There's nothing I can do but make the best of whatever life I can still scrape together as a man in his 40s.


life memories:

turning from 29 to 30 exactly 10 years ago, on the U of MN campus watching maybe Harry Potter in Japanese, Porco Rosso, or the Japanese movie Water Boys (this one is maybe the most likely? We watched them all in the same lecture room on different days.) as an event of the Japanese Student Association or N-Dimensional Japan or one of those groups. I was remebering exactly 10 years before that (which is now 20 years ago, wow), being introduced to the first Japanese music I ever heard, the band "19", at age 19. On Facebook I posted a YouTube version of the first track of the first CD I listened to, which is "Hate no Nai Michi", or "Endless Road", which has a chorus ending in "Tonde yuku" or "I'm flying away". At that time, I thought I would never live in Japan a
