June 23

The images of my now-forgotten dreams flitted around in my mind as I turned on my sides and moved my arms and legs around, rolling to the point of most coziness inside my blankets. Aware of floating around between dreams and the material, my post-tired body aimed to maximize its sleeping time. I remembered I'd climaxed sometime during the night when I dreamed of having gotten very close and hugged some woman inside my dream, and that I felt tired enough to not get out of bed or clean up at that time. I felt dry around me when I finally sat up in bed, though the texture of a small portion of the front of my shorts did feel more ragged than the rest of the smooth polyester fabric.

It was 14:42, and as I'd left the mobile data connection on my Nexus turned on, I woke up to see an email and a Hangouts message from Ping. She was not online at the time, but I downloaded Whatsapp and messaged her to at least give her a reply. I cooked rice+lentils for "lunch", left my garbanzo beans cooking for dinner later on, and decided to upload some of the media that Mario desired for his new devices (iPod Touch + laptop). I opened up the JW site, downloaded a few of the books he had shown interest in before, downloaded a bunch of them in PDF and MP3 format, then uploaded them into a few different cloud services: the audio files into Google Play, and the PDF files into Google Books and Google Drive. I think he'll like it.

The whole process took hours, but while this happened, I took a shower, read Plato's Dialogues, and helped J&T with the animal chores. I actually only waited out with the sheep while they grazed in the field, then helped route them back to their pen. It was harder than one would usually think, but after about 5-10 minutes of running and routing, it worked out. Then we walked back to the HQ area, talked to Pilar and Adan for a while, I got some of my staples refilled by Josh, and came back. By that time my laptop had gone to sleep, so I set the power options to "Never" go to sleep, and left it finishing. Then I had my garbanzo dinner, finished reading "Symposium", left tomorrow’s garbanzo beans lunch soaking, then began writing this journal entry. Journal entries take quite a while to write. I might want to reconsider my writing method, detail, topics, and/or frequency.

Anyway, now I decided to leave the english audio version of the Bible downloading, then uploading, for Mario's later convenience. I've thought of sketching up a model of the device/cloud media consumption system relevant to Mario and family, and how to make it work for him. Seems like a worthy project to spend a little time on, plus an exercise of sketching and penmanship.
