the message drawers and the keypad
Date: Apr 3, 2008

I saw out my bedroom window, flags of Mexica and other Central America countries. one of the flags showed a big round flower on it.

There was a bunch of drawers on the wall that receive messages. each drawer had a number that told how many messages it has. each drawer holds a different type of messages.

I receive one message that had a magifily glass. I use it to look at a telephone key pad. I discover it has random letters on it. I use it to look at a 4 button keypad at the entrance. I discover random numbers on the 4 buttons. maybe they are telephone numbers.







we play games where you make up stories
Date: Apr 10, 2008

we play a board game where you make up simple stories. the pieces move on the paths on the board. and each time a piece lands on a square. you add something to the simple story. we put the game away and we put a large rubber band around the box. I show my dad the simple story that I wrote on a notepad during the board game. he does not understand it. I explain to him the story, he still does not get it.Dad shows me a chess game that has a red player included. I tell dad that mancala is good gameto program computer generated music with.

I inverted my own card game where you make up stories. each card shows an object or action. you put the cards the down face up. you make up a story using the objects and actions showed the cards. the story also follows the order of the cards. you have 3 cards in your hand and you can choose which one to put down. every time you put a card down you take another card from the draw pile







the wall building board game
Date: Apr 14, 2008

I was going to the closet, carrying a bunch of 3.5 and 5.25 apple disks. When I open up the closet, I found an bunch of old Apple hardware for the old Apple computer. The hardware I found included disk drives and a computer. I found hardware to read both 3.5 and 5.25 apple disks. But I only found hardware to copy the 5.25 apple disks to IBM floppy disks. I wondering how am I going to copy the 3.5 apple disks.

I saw a board game that is played on a square grid with 2 players. The board game lets players build colored walls using their counters. Each player has 1 counter on the board. The 2 counters are red and green. At the start of the game all the squares are white. A player's counter can move 1 space horization or vertical each turn. Every time a player's counter moves, it colors the last square has been on. Red counters color squares red and green counters color squares green. A counter can only move into a white square not a colored square. The game ends when a player has no moves left. The player that can move to a white square wins the game.

I was planning to make a program that searches the game tree for the best move. To save time and to search deeper, the program uses a hash table to search each position once.







moving out of the motel
Date: Apr 16, 2008

I took a day trip with a friend, then I came back to the motel to watch TV. While I was watching TV, Emily came back from a day trip with a friend. I found a video tape. I put it in the VCR. I discover that I could only play or fast forward the tape not rewind the tape. After I eject the tape from the VCR. I saw that the video tape was broken.

I found an book containing Peanuts comic strips. Some objects are colored and some objects are white. Sometimes an object changes from colored to white or from white to colored. In one comic strip, Susan wears a white dress, then it changes to red. Susan saw a red dress on her and thought maybe she stain it. The dress then changes back to white and Susan thinks "maybe it is just my imagination".

I was working on a big jigsaw puzzle. The big puzzle was on the cardboard boxes. then I stuck the puzzle and the cardboard boxes in the car without the taking the puzzle apart. I could take the puzzle apart and stick it in a box, that would take less space in the car. I could give away the puzzle to someone else, that would free up space in the car.

We were moving out of the motel. We were sticking our stuff in the car. We were planing to drive all the way back home in a car filled with our stuff.

There were two bags, one was filled with our stuff and one was filled with trash. I put the bag with our stuff in the trunk of the car. I put the trash bag in the closet of our room. I wrote notes on paper and put the notes behind the trash bag in the closet.









solving a jigsaw puzzle and watching a quark show
Date: Apr 18, 2008

I was at Lela's house, I was printing out a bunch of Frostlight's dreams. I only print out a few of them because I did not want to use too much ink. I thought to myself "I rather use a lot of CDs than lot of printer ink because CDs are cheap". After I printed out the dreams but before I lefted their house. They show me a notebook so I can write some notes. I wrote some notes in their notebook.

In the parking lot, I saw mom and her car. Mom said that dad left in his car because he did not see me. But then little later I saw dad walking around the parking lot. We went to another building.

In the building, we went to a bedroom that had a big screen TV. I Met a 4-year-old boy named Bob. We watch a short show about quarks. The background was orange and the quarks were purple. The show said "glutons is the force that holds 3 quarks together". The show continue "3 quarks can either make a proton or a neutron". I left to visit mom's friend and I let Bob change the channel. I went to the room that had a paino in it.

I talk to mom and her friend. At one point I told mom that maybe I am dreaming.

Back at my home, I finish a jigsaw puzzle in the kitchin. Mom took apart the puzzle and said "let's see how fast you can solve this puzzle". I ask mom to stop taking apart the puzzle and she listened. Now I have big parts of the puzzle made out pieces connected together. That gives me a head start in solving the puzzle. Now I am connecting the big parts and puzzle pieces together again. I found 2 brown puzzle pieces in the kitchin sink. The pieces were completely brown and had no detail. I thought to myself "maybe the detail was wash out". I saw a puzzle box on the counter. it's picture showed trees, buildings and people I finish the jigsaw puzzle again in the kitchin.

trying to fix the broken compoment at a friend's house
Date: Apr 23, 2008

I was at a friend's house, they invented a new natural fuel for cars. They showed me the pump they built. It look like a gas pump. Inside the house, they want me to paint the inside of a styrofoam cup. So I paint an outdoor picture on the inside of a styrofoam cup.

I brought some electric compoments with me. I began building something by connecting the compoments together. One of the compoments were a speaker with 2 terminals. I test that compoment to make sure it works by connecting the 2 terminals together using a wire. It worked, the compoment made a sound. It makes a square wave tone when there is no input signal and the 2 termainals are connected together.

Another compoment was made out of small parts. I took apart that compoment without thinking. Then I tried to put the small parts back together again. The friends grew tired of watching me trying to fix the broken compoment. They recommend that I forget about that broken compoment. But I save that broken compoment by putting it in a shoe box. I am planning to try to put the small parts back together when I am back at my home.

In the shoe box, I found an old banner. The banner show someone using an old Apple computer, Apple componments, Apple hardware and Apple games. The banner even showed the old broken missing componment. I am glad that I save that compoment even through it is broken.









teleporting the enzymes from the bathroom's cupboard
Date: Apr 24, 2008

I saw an stack of different magazines outside near a supermarket and I read them I want to put them back in the supermarket, but mom said "let's hurry up and see dad." so I went with mom and forgot about the magazines.

I had an bottle of enzyme pills. I sometimes drop some enzyme pills on the floor. So I put the pills that drop on the floor in a plastic cup, so I can take them later. I remember that I last put the plastic cup in a bathroom's cupboard in some other house.

I had an magic panel, the panel had a combobox that showed what room I am in. Every time I select a different room from the combobox's drop-down list, I teleport to that room by magic, meaning I go to that room by magic without traveling. The combobox's drop-down list include all the rooms of my house and the rooms of a few other houses. It means that I can go to or teleport to the other house without going outside.

I am in my bedroom in my house, I select the bathroom of the other house from the combobox's drop-down list. Then I teleport to the bathroom of the other house by magic. I found the plastic cup of enzyme pills in cupboard. I then teleport back to my bedroom of my house with the enzyme pills.







the park and skydiving
Date: Apr 23, 2008

I am asleep in an room. I saw the same lamp that is in the hallway in my room. Then I went exploring the house and saw my bedroom. I was at someone's house, I saw their big screen TV along with their couch. I went skydiving with a bunch of people then I look down at the landscape. I saw about 30 people making a solid circle. The people were wearing shirts of different colors. So the solid circle had many different colors in it. I was walking in an park. I saw some purple flowers and an bush. I saw an flower move from the path and plant itself. I saw an father and his child walking in the park.








orange juice bottle sale and pete.
Date: Apr 25, 2008

I saw in the bathroom near my bedroom, bottles for sale. Every bottle that was for sale contain little orange juice. The orange juice bottles for sale included: shampoo bottles, soap bottles and orange juice bottles. The shampoo bottles and soap bottles also contain little orange juice. There was also orange juice cartons for sale. There was a person named Pete around. But he did not know how to answer questions about the bottles on sale. He did not even know how to sell the bottles. All pete knew about was his friends and a lot of other people who sell these bottles. He look up their telephone numbers in the telephone book. Pete made a list of people's names and their telephone numbers. Pete wrote down the telephone numbers on left side of the list and the people's names on right side of the list. When Pete was finish making the list, he cut the list into half. He gave me the half containing all the phone numbers and kept the half containing all the names for himself.

In my yard, I had an area shaped like an circle. The area contain small pine trees and orange cones in it. I was playing a simple game with Pete where you try to count to 60 as fast as possible while walking in the area. I was trying count to 60 as fast as possible while walking in the area with the pine trees at the same time. I skip some numbers without thinking. But Pete did not seem to mind it even through he did notice it.

I was walking around the house thinking of a new story about Pete's house. I was planning to add pictures too. I drew the picture of Pete's house while Emily's radio was playing.







two strange fruits at a friend's house
Date: Apr 26, 2008

I was tired, I took off one shoe and I was too tired to take off the other shoe. I fell asleep on the couch.

The next morning, I went a friend's house, they had a paino in their backyard. I went into their house. They show me a strange fruit that is little like a citrus fruit. The fruit had a thick skin that is easy to peel off. The fruit could be easily spilt into many small pieces just like a orange. The pieces were shaped like rocks. The pieces were juicy and had skin on them. The friend said "that strange fruit evolve to be easy to eat. It evolve to be easy to split into bite-size pieces."

The friend show me another strange fruit that is little like a blue plum. He showed me a video game that uses that fruit. The goal is to go from start to end. Every time you land on the strange fruit. You fly around and land on a square. If there are 3 nearby boxes then you collect a bonus and stars pop up.

They show me a simpsons clip. In the clip, Bart Simpson is at a restruant. Bart is eating the strange fruit and he is imagining stars.

I was making a website in a store. TJ wanted to test the sending and receiving feature of the message system. TJ got a login form that ask him to input a bunch of light and dark squares on a grid. TJ ask me for my key code. so I went to my car to get my key code and I saw a sign that show a bunch of little images. my key code is made out of a bunch of light and dark squares. so I input these light and dark squares into login form and it worked.
