Scanning.

Looking through the "musicians available" ads in the back of the stranger, I noticed all the guys that come with practice spaces. This kindled the extremely stupid idea of adding a guy to the band in order to get a free practice space. I can imagine it now, me and Kris, and this guy trying to get useful musical input past us, when all we want to do is record vocals in his basement or whatever it is. Yeah, bad scene::bad idea.

Today I was reading an enneagram book with Helen, going through the various number types and seeing if I fit the profile I tested positive for. Well, I fit a five pretty thoroughly. But, I don't think that fitting yourself exactly into one set of characteristics is the most useful part of having a classification system like that, or astrology, or any number of other personality type organization things. I think the real benefit comes from looking at all the different types in a system and finding characteristics that you recognize in yourself and then looking at the different ways that other people see the world. You might not even recognize these things as characteristics. It's like having one of those mix-n-match books where you flip the segmented pages to match heads with bodies and legs of different characters. Is it the point to put together a whole guy with matching head, torso, and legs? Or is it more useful to put together a guy that matches you, with a boba fett head and a han solo body and C3P0 legs, then flip through the other pages and notice the different heads. You might not have even known there were other heads besides yours! Really, I thought everyone else had a boba fett head.

Guess I'd better work on getting a passport. I have acquired a deep tan from paddling and I plan on transporting all of the textiles that I purchase in Canada back across the border wrapped around my head.-- Beanie
