recall starting to make a bit of a comeback
+ I'm in front of a screen talking about my code with a guy and a girl. It's some sort of database system and I'm trying to remember the name of the index which is used to look up things in further indices, I'm scrolling through something trying to find it
+ (vivid, present), I'm moving (DO) through a hilly city. Main feature I keep thinking about is a super tall broadcast/transmission tower that I can see at all times. We're going to our friend's place which is near this tower. I'm concerned about the effects of them living so close to this very powerful transmission tower. At some point the hills block most of the view of the tower except for the top. I think this is the Sutro tower in San Francisco.
We come upon (flying DO still) an empty top floor of some parking garage that is slightly slanted and entirely empty except for some kids skateboarding there. I think this is a great place for skateboarding. (1st person) standing on the pavement next to a skateboard I step on to it and want to do some "wheely-circles" [can do IWL]. I start spinning counter clock-wise and I start counting my revolutions. I get going faster and faster and I close my eyes and keep counting, all the way up to 20 and then I step off the board and make a "ta-da" gesture.
I'm then sitting in (my childhood bedroom?) looking at the various skateboards I've had in my life placed on the lower shelf, and thinking about narrow vs. wide trucks.
+ I'm walking outside with lots of people around in <foreign country>. I see childhood neighborhood acquaintance JD there and wonder if he likes it/fits in (because he's of a different culture/ethnicity than the majority here). We're riding in a car/van and talking about work. I'm talking about startups and he says yeah but his other job paid better. I say that the advantage is that even if the start-up fails, if there are like 20 people working there, they're very start-up minded and tend to work at other start-ups. If this start-up fails, then you have 20 contacts spread all throughout different companies.
+(f, impression) where's my backpack, I need it in order to go to school
