Whump!

0 to 80, I can't do, so I'm wandering around in the verge.

BURING MAN: No time for projects or prep, which suxxors. Wanted to help with CLIVE II, but with school eating the whole week and then some, no way. Completed: Figured out basic pack list. Worked with R to triage and repair bicycle pile; after some tool buying and fooling around, looks like 5 of 7 will be usable.

To do: What I want to learn at Burning Man; Pack list complete; costumes; compleate schedule; build solar shower/evap pond; buy pump for barrel of water; figure other camp details

BACKYARD: Full of bicycles. Disposed of 3 hornet nests, all larger than my hand, found two more. Wow! Need to get irrigation sorted out before going away.

House: Holy Urban Blight, Ratman!

SCHOOL: OMG. No way going to get it done, not even able to try. 1/3 of an inch of paperwork completed, 2/3 of an inch to go. Lesson plans mulling. Desired Lab list unknown. Have Curricula but still no books, can't pull together lessons.


So much to do, and so I'm not getting much of it done...sigh.

Off to Asylum Street Spankers!

Prep

I'm helping support some of the Euroburners, and my friends DNA and R and CJ by providing bikes. I've meant to get them done for a while, but things...

Bleah

Why does nearly everyone I know get to go to the Burn this year and I still can't??

Wahhhhh....

You're too virtuous.

Or however that's spelled. Good people go to heaven (Santa Cruz), bad people go to hell (the playa.)

If it's not too personal, what is it you want to learn at Burning Man? *curious* Of all the people I know who attend every year, I've never heard anyone talk about an action list of things to learn. =)

Hello again!

Nice to see you. There are so many possible experiences at Burning Man, that while it's essential to stay open to what occurs, it's really nice to have some sort of plan, such as:
Walk any labrynth you find, and the big one every day;
Take part in any spirit quests you run across;
Pray in whatever temple you find.

Then you have a spiritual time.

Or...go to classes at Camp Ariachne, and Pinks, and learn basic knotwork and pole dancing.

Or...find the best DJ dance spots.

All of these are possible. If you don't go out looking, you might never find. So if you go out with some sort of plan, something might occur.

Where are you camping? We're at 9:00 and Destiny.

No Clue.

And therein lies a tale of trust, possibly misplaced. I'm letting someone very competent who I trust handle this, but there's someone cool but more freeform than me involved.

I know I'll be at Burning Man, and find out WHERE on Monday. I'd like to be out between 8 and 9 because that's where most of my friends seem to be ending up, but fate may will me to 2 or something.

The bike works; it'll all turn out good.

I can help with watering if irrigation doesn't work. I'd get me out of the house anyway.

Where are we camping? With Javier... Rolling spontaneously with where that is exactly is part of our playa learning experience this year.

The plan is coming together... You are an important part of it. Have faith. All will be well.

We'll talk tomorrow.
