Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention

  1. Cloverfield on TV. Works so much better on the small screen. The child actors are difficult to distinguish - Lizzie Caplan is the only one with any real personality.
  2. Yelling at the phone.
  3. Yelling at email.
  4. Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Not working yet (see pts 2-3). The chapter on polishing a tile is especially good.
  5. Nona Hendryx, Nona. Still hard to get past 'Transformation' which still ranks as the best I'll Just Listen To That One More Time track ever.
  6. Yelling at London.
  7. For the first time ever being attracted to the idea of a smart phone, the iPhone 4. Considering buying one and yelling at that as having phone and email in same device would halve yelling time req'd.
  8. Thinking that honestly this is the last time I'm doing anyone a favour ever again.
  9. Nevertheless have done two massive favours. Karma Deficit: 2.
  10. How is it possible to make a tile into a jewel? Or even, a Marlena Diamond?
  11. A: It isn't.
  12. I relate to Marlena because she is bored, knows no-one at the party, saves someone and then dies.
  13. I miss Paul, even for the emails we don't send to each other.
  14. I hate poetry, or rather don't understand it. Hence the numbers.
  15. 116 is a table number.
  16. One one eight seven at Unterwasser.
  17. And it's raining.
  18. As a background I also recommend Alan Watts, The Way of Zen. In print since 1957 = in print now.
  19. I'm working on some short stories.
  20. The short stories are turning into a novel.
  21. I am polishing a tile.
