Richard William Weiland Papers

11:30 Go to Microsoft.

12:00 Work on a bug have to due with printing short forms on HP Laser.

1:00 Lunch at Sea Galley. Salmon w/crab. OK.

2:00 Do some last minute video checks on VGA, Zenith EZPC, Herc + EGA.

3:00 Leave for gym.

3:30 Tan. Shower

4:15 Workout. Tired mentally, but body's ok, not a bad workout.

AFTER ALL I SAID THIS MORNING THE REAL THING THAT BUGS ME IS JUST NOT GETTING TO BED AT A REASONABLE TIME!! I could've gone to Tubs early or at latest, right after Tugs at 1 AM that would probably have made me a lot less crazy this morning. Even so, I should recognize that disease & social conflict are rife there. So a key thing is to make sure I use my time well, which has not been a problem during Works development. But now I have to discipline myself. I have to realize that I want to spend my time on personal needs that I've wanted & needed for some time. That motivation must come from me. I didn't have any pressure on me so I relaxed, and made a mistake.

5:45 Head home. Snack. Start laundry. Washer not filling up, so just do one load. Makes me want to get my own place. Make & eat dinner. Misc. Golden Girls on tape. Put laundry away. Shower.

8:00 Decide to put BC Card in envelope, sealed, with questions I must answer to myself before I get the card out. Put this into trunk of Audi.

8:30 Read Fortune Magazines "Billionaires." Read Chap 8 of Mask of Apollo. Change bedsheets

10:00 To bed

3:15 After getting ticket + getting in like and going to bathroom I sarted to relax. Notice very few cars going to Lopez but Orcas (my) lanes are full after awhile. DISCOVER THAT MYSTERY MT IS [underline] BAKER. And I noticed on map there's a log road rup to North end of Shannon Lake by Mt Shuksan. Road about Orcas and see how to get to Mt Constitution, hopeful by sunset. 4:30 Finally start boarding ferry. Lots of cars to load. Beautiful grip thr the islands. Took lots of pics. Glad I brought binoculars, and book full of maps. Not lonesome at all. [pink highlight] 5:30 (Probably) pulled into Orcas = drove way around it to other side. Very Oregon, with rolling hills + patches of forest. Stopped for supplies. Up partway to Mt Constitution, and saw breathtaking view and tried to figure it all cute. Saw Lopex [underline] ferry leave. 6:30 Head down + check in+ have drink on house while reading about Movan Park in book. 7:15 Got a dinner. Pretty good, but service slow due to big church group. Very good chowder + chicken. 8:45 Ask about "higher grade" room. Tro to switch to studio tomorrow. In future, get room in 2300 or 2400. [yellow highlight][underline]Take a walk to pool. Back to room. Write up the ferry ride, to here. 9:30 Read chap 13 + 14 of Mask of Apollo. To bed.

Wed Oct 7 '87 Sunny 70 Wake up. Think about my feeling in Chess, and what I feel when I try to play it. See evening note too. [red ink]. Music too. [pink highlight] 7:45 Get up. Misc. Go eat, reading about San Juan Island. Doesn't sound as great as Orcas, to me. Decide to visit it on the way to Sydney, BC, another trip.

Mon Nov 2 '87

7:00 Decide to make misc over a lot more for diary. Anything not worth remembering should be entered as misc, such as

morning activity (including WSJ)

laundry (drying etc)

meals by myself

housekeeping

domestic errands (QFC)

There is no need for time accounting, since it even wastes time. I should think over the time as I write herein, but being that meticulous is not in keeping with my current goals

Such actions are especially bad if I want to interact with other people more. Too fussy.

Did misc this morning to get back into my reality, before using my mind, or trying to do anything.

Pay monthly bills + mail 'em.

Think some more + write ~ Halloween.

1:00 How much have I gone out in Seattle since July?

Fri July 17 After Gates party, Ritz, meeting Gary Everson.

Sat August 15 Hombres + Neighbors, very briefly

Sat Aug 22 Met Tom Low at gym, from LA.

Sat Aug 29 Bill Etniers party, and out J+L, N, BC. Running into Gene Souza, cute little bus driver, with paunch

Fri Sep 11 Dan Block's party - bus announced

Sun Sep 13 Tugs Bill + Bob. Pat H + Steve Gibson. Awkward seeing Gene Souza. Hombres. Robert Galinda - no job.

Sun Sep 20 Tubs after hike, but no action

Sun Oct 4 Jeff Conway at gym + Tubs. Fun.

Sat Oct 10 Tug 10 years ago go. Fun. Home 1:00

Sat Oct 24 J+L and Sparks. Home by 2:15

Sat Oct 31 The bus

Increase in going out is due to free time away from Works. Gym has been only place I've seen hot guys. But both out of towners: Tom Low (LA) + Jeff (Portland)

But spending time at Microsoft makes a big difference, as did going to Oregon Coast, LA, Yosemite, SF, San Diego, SF, Tahoe, Whistler, and Baker.

Having been home today I sense how depressing it is to be here.

9:15 Mark Johnson calls. Nice talk.

9:30 As Mark points out maybe I just need to move in Seattle, but as I noted from my trip to Van BC last April, a house will not change how I feel about being gay in Seattle.
