Frank: Tomorrow you'll feel like you've been run over by a truck or beaten with a rubber hose.
Me: Maybe not! Maybe I'll feel like I was run over by a rubber hose!
I'm prepared to lie low but maybe it won't be so bad.

Home from Jin shinification.
Update: Well that wiped me out - I could barely move. I woke up about 45 minutesago.

Unproductive Day
Often after jin shin I'm useless, but today I was useless even before I got there
Went to bed at midnight (early for me but the night before I had just tossed all night), got up at 10 (after a lot of weird dreams), drank some coffee, played Glitch for an hour and a bit, had a shower and got dressed, gassed up my car (traffic was insane), went to my 2:30pm Frank appointment (we laughed and laughed and he gave me some organic parsnips/beets/trail mix), dropped my Netflix envelope in the post, threw away my garbage, got home at 4:30 and cooked stir-fried vegetables with a ton of hot peppers and soy sauce, had to lie down for an hour or so, then played Glitch and goofed around on the net for about and hour and a half, then had to go and lie down at about 9:45 and just got up again at 11.
Sigh.

13 September 2011
I had my first jin shin in weeks, since Frank was in Canuckistan getting away from it all in a cabin with no trizzities (but propane for cooking/hot water). Then I went groceterialisationing, which I hadn't done in weeks either. Truthfully I like getting down to the weird foodstuffs as it's an adventure, plus when it was so hot I didn't eat.
Anyway.
Me: There was quite a large earthquake while you were in Canada.
Frank: Yes.
Me: There was a huge earthquake when you were in New Zealand. I think it's you. Quaker Frank.
Frank: Ha ha! Exactly.

I have an appointment tomorrow at 1pm with Frank :-D
With a bit of luck he'll be able to roll me back from the brink a few inches.

This morning at Frank's:
Me: My blog just turned six. I've always kept journally-type things - well, if you look in the early ones they have entries like, "I played in the woods all day."
Frank: Do you write on your blog about playing in the woods?
Me; No, I write, "JF THAT FRANK did such-and-such."
Frank: Heh.
27 September 2007
Home from jin shin and doing laundry. Yes, I actually did post the last thing at 6 something - and then left at about 7:05, arriving two minutes before my appointment at 7:30 (and one minute before Frank). Last thing I did before leaving was take this picture:
I took it because I was struck by how much it looked (in rl) like amateurish landscapes seen in thrift shops - that back-and-forth striped sky, etc. I tried to make it more thrift shopesque:
On the way home from Olympia I stopped in at Walgreen's to swap a non-working ecobulb for a working (I hope) one. I think I'm the only person who ever buys them as there are either two or none. None if I try to buy them before they have been restocked. There was a slot for a package of four (these are spotlightish things) but only single bulbs squatting there, in all their incredible packaging (which is shipping protection, too). It's annoying to me as I'd've bought ten or so the first time I saw them, but sadly have to go back time and time again.Labels: jin shin

W00t!
Frank was gone for a month - to France - but is back and I saw him today. He had a good time and ate a lot of good food, he said. I survived quite well up until about 4 or 5 days ago, which is good. A couple of weeks ago I came a cropper which has had lasting effects, however I still got on all right. I don't know what exactly he worked on today as I was too busy describing the last rehearsal of The Show Must Go On and laughing. He told me about an uncle who had cancer and then got Alzheimer's - and the cancer went away, the idea being that the uncle forgot to "have" it. we also taked about hypnotism, for some reason, and I told him about a school assembly I attended at about 14 or so. They'd never do this now, but it was a hypnotist, and he did various things then asked for a volunteer. A friend of mine went up on stage and he did the normal hypnotist thing of making her act like a chicken as a demonstration of the power of hypnosis. I never knew what to make of it, actually.
Then I went grocerterialisationing, which I hadn't done for... uh... weeks. I had got down to some very strange items, last week, but decided to tough it out until today. I actually sort of like doing that, anyway. It makes food more interesting both during and after. Tiff visited, too, during the past month and fed me - she found a new curry place and brought lamb curry once.

Sunny and warm - blecch
I did what this morning, I wonder, before going to jin shin... Oh, yes - I was fiddling with something when a shiny orb spoke to me, then apologised and turned into a panther. We had a chat and I told him to watch out for the show. I teased someone a little in IM. I talked to Idey a bit. I went to Drive In as there had been a problem reported* at my build (but nothing was amiss). While there I made a settings sign for the show, realised I had 5 minutes before I needed to leave, set up a video to export from QTPro as last night it had chugged away for two hours (reaching 34% before I got annoyed at 2 am and shut it down). Then I went for the last jin shin of May as Frank is off to France (appropriately enough) and I don't see him again until the 4th of June.
Eagle just flew by the window - the sun makes each feather stand out clearly. Yesterday I saw the spider-gathering Stellar's jay again - she must wait a certain time for the spiders to grow plump and toothsome.
* The same person who returned part of my build later in the day had IMed me to say he'd accidentally changed my autoreturn but turned it off immediately in case my whole effing build got returned.

FREE PUGSLEY NOW
I was excited when I first heard that deculvertisation was a BIG THING. That was years and years ago - so where's the deculvertisation going on? Walking around Olympia one can see spray-painted salmon with "drains to bay" on the sidewalk above the gutter, as a warning against careless dumping of toxic substances into culvertised salmon streams - for whatever that's worth. Deculvertisation NOW! I believe Pugsley (of the Addams Family) was named after a (now culvertised) river or stream in the Bronx. Free Pugsley! Deculvertisation now!
Just when I had parked Little Sha this afternoon I saw a man doing a U-turn in the intersection. My jaw dropped. I was aghast - and had to go in and tell Frank forthwith. Also I told him I felt: weak, terrible, depressed, awful, lousy, etc. After jin shin I leapt lightly to my feet like an agile mountain goat and asked him: What can I expect? "Happiness," he replied. Then we laughed.
