ltmurnauI looked up what I was doing or writing about at this time one and two years ago.

What am I doing now? Short sitrep:
The papers were signed on Thursday the 14. I initialled each page (26 of them) and signed it all, in duplicate, in purple ink. It always enraged her whenever I used anything other than black ink to sign something - she thought you could get in trouble for signing cheques in green ink, for example. Maybe you do in Japan, except they don't even use cheques. I don't think she ever got used to the relative anarchy that is Canada.
Friday I took off work to spend with Aki. I dropped off at my lawyer's office a bank draft for a very large amount of $$$, all that was left of my ICBC money for my gimpy leg and a bit more, signed more papers then we had BBQ pork on rice at Wah Lai Yuen. Then we went to Fernwood and hung around, watched movies made brownies played games including hours of late night poker (he won $6.05). Sunday we went to Gyro Park for the Gothnic, it was fun!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) my mom and I will spend the day with him. Wednesday AM he takes off. We decided it was best I not see him off at the airport - too traumatic. I'd prefer that his last hours spent with me this year be nice ones.
He will be back in less than a year, and depending on how he's done and how he's feeling, I may apply to keep him here. My lawyer very astutely and not for the first time pointed out, when I was freaking out a couple of weeks ago, that here and now is not the right time to fight a battle for him.
Beginning Wednesday I start moving back into Toothpaste Acres, I don't want the house to be empty even for a night. The following month will see a massive cleanout and cleanup and loads of work, not least in getting ready for the Nevada trip. I don't want to sit and brood, I have done enough of that over the last few years.
Meanwhile, Luminara - anyone planning on going? I have a great idea for a costume of a "rokuro-kubi", a Japanese ghost or demon with an extendable neck:
Apparently, unlike most ghosts and monsters, these are fun to have around: http://www.youkaimura.org/rokuro.htm

Date: 2005-07-20 04:27 pm (UTC)I will be camping and working with the crew of the Black Rock Beacon, the new daily playa paper. Since they axed the Black Rock Gazette, many of the ex-BRG people came together to make this paper. It should be pretty good and will be produced right out on the playa, instead of printed in Reno and trucked out. No word yet on exactly where we'll be - since we seem to have pissed off the BMorg, the camp will probably be out at 10:00 and Bumf**k.
Where will you be?
