Caffeine, Scholarships and Considering a Harvard Master's

7:30 a.m.

I had coffee last night. Didn't get much sleep. Might be caffeine causes problems.

***

This is a good idea to pay for good university scholarships for local students.

We should celebrate when kids go.

I think I might do a Masters program. I might try go for a top 5 university such as Harvard university. We can talk to Summers.

But there's no real reason for doing so.

Air Conditioning, Data Recovery Losses and the Need to Earn

8:00 a.m.

I'm going to try get a new air conditioning unit soon. I think I like the Panasonic. It's a good ac. It's very hot in May. I think with this, I'll be more comfortable.

We already paid for a hard drive and a data recovery job. Both aren't available. We need to earn and pay for both again. It's disrupted things badly.

We made a big, extremely serious mistake failing to earn for so long. We're focussed on fixing this problem right away. We're lucky the damages weren't worse than they already are.

It was disrespectful and I reacted badly. If we can't do things successfully, it's now suddenly important to end relationships citing failure. I think going this road, saying it's either do or die, is important now. Otherwise, nothing is going to be done. it's also extremely unhealthy.

I'm watching District 9, it's not good.

Jonathan Hirshon's Mask Dispute and Fear of Confrontation

12:30 p.m. (c)

This is almost what nearly became of Jonathan Hirshon after he suggested some Middle Eastern descent individuals to wear a f***ing mask during Covid-19. They threatened to kill Hirshon, Amanda and Fenris. It's crazy.

I also, when I would see people without masks, I never told them to wear it 'cause I got scared or vic-traumatized by what happened to Jonathan

Fearing Political Danger and Seeking Guns and Security

12:30 p.m. (d)

I've seen it before. But it's still traumatic. I removed a number of my friends like Marianne Page. Because I picked her for "Law Minister". It's not supposed to be a dangerous job. But in Sri Lanka it is. In fact, even Kanchana Ratwatte, isn't safe being the new Bank of Sri Lanka deputy chair. Because we're monopolizing banking. So he's a big target now. I think along those lines. Lasantha, Wasim, Bharatha. This country's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

Look, this month, April, we can get some guns and security, and that'll be enough for the most part.

Saying Something Is Deeply Moving

12:45 a.m. (c)

Omg this is so moving.

A scene from the "Star Wars" universe features two droids and part of a spaceship. In the foreground, an astromech droid, reminiscent of the iconic R2-D2 but in a sleek black color, stands on the left. Its dome-shaped head and cylindrical body reflect the bright sunlight. To the right, a humanoid protocol droid, also in a shiny black finish, stands with one arm bent and resting on its hip, suggesting an air of attentiveness or readiness. The reflective surfaces of both droids emphasize the high-tech, futuristic setting.
In the background, a large spaceship with a rugged, well-used appearance is visible. Its design is characteristic of the "Star Wars" aesthetic, with visible panels and industrial detailing. The scene is set outdoors, under a clear blue sky, with tall spires visible in the distance, hinting at a spaceport or futuristic cityscape. The lighting is bright, casting clear shadows on the ground, enhancing the scene's sense of realism.

Loving Star Wars but Hating Episodes Seven Through Nine

1:30 a.m.

These look cool.

I always loved Star Wars. I ███████ hate episodes 7, 8 and 9. I think Lucas should have done it. And had creative rights, even with selling to Disney. I think instead of $4b, he should have sold for $1b, or $2b, or $500m, and kept the creating controls.
