Around 3 p.m. I wake up.


DREAM: Sound checking on stage in an auditorium. I have all my keyboards set up and my laptop is mounted on a stand. Pastor Rick is at the soundboard. Out of nowhere, he gets angry and frustrated. He gives all of us onstage a spiel about being prepared. I start to walk off. “Don’t forget to turn your laptop off, Robert.” I go back and turn it off.


Breakfast: Egg and Cheese Burrito made at home. Fresh Mango. Orange Juice. Zinc.


I go to Alpha for a kick pedal and stop at the JCOC thrift store.


Lunch: Tuna Salad Sandwich with Tomato and Lettuce. Salt N Vinegar Chips. Strawberry Yogurt, Jasmine Green Tea.


Chris and I practice at the storage unit. We work on a few new ideas. Chad had an emergency come up and couldn’t join.


I meet Becca at her house.

We were not able to meet last Monday for reasons I forget.

When I arrive, she is talking to her friend Krista on the phone, who is pregnant and recently had some problems that have made her bedridden. Over the speaker we listen to Krista describe a realistic dream she had last night: a tall big man with a blurry face enters her bedroom, sits down next to her covering his hand over her whole stomach where she was having cramps. She tells us it didn’t feel like a dream at all but more like it really happened. Her cramps went away the next day.

I eat some of Phil’s leftover Indian Dish with Dried Edamame and Blackberries.

Becca tells me about her trip to Minnesota and describes her family members in a cell phone photo.

We look through Sky Mall Magazine that she retrieved from the plane and humor ourselves over the expensive and ridiculous single-functional products.

We share a Caramel Apple with Frosting and Sprinkles Becca bought from the Chicago airport.

She tells me about a health conscience 5-year-old losing weight.

Becca: “I’m very interested in digestion.”

Me: “I think my greatest fear is to be misunderstood. To be understood is the ultimate and most satisfying goal.”

Blackberry art on a napkin.

We discover a Youtube channel run by a guy who documents what he calls his “mentally-challenged family”. Probably the most entertaining reality stuff I’ve seen on Youtube.


I eat Crackers with Cream Cheese and Gouda Cheese.


I read an interesting article on Sky Mall Culture: http://www.slate.com/id/2164517


I shower, clean my teeth, sleep around 6:30 a.m.
