Richard William Weiland Papers

But that's not important to Dick, just to me. Dick did get very keyed up about traffic though, especially when the car stalled. Saw building where he works. 25 minutes. Off to Echo Park. See Jorge's. He gave Dick the coke, but we didn't do any. Driving back, Jorge told about his new job at Western Costume. Sounds OK. At least I'm glad to hear he's employed. Oh, at his home he showed me Worksdays ad. Trip back seemed a lot shorter, talking. Flatness surrounds us, though.

Back at Dick's we made dinner, and had a good time talking, I having Chivas + soda I was actually somewhat articulate + bright, it was nice eating at home.

Ate dinner, talking about where I should live. Then afterward, Jorge made a joint which was sprinkled with hash oil. I pretended to smoke some. Pretty mild too. I had quite a fun time then, but I can't remember why. Just good lines. Jorge laid out some lines of coke, and I did just a very little. More fun. We decide to go to West Hollywood, and not one way, detour, or gauntlet of Silverlake. Nothings really changed very much. We decide to meet at Revolver where we have a drink: Chivas + soda. Oh, before going + upon parking, I do just a little coke. Jorge offers to sell. No, I say.

At Revolver, we watch music video, still not much comedy. And everyone's in one big room looking up at screen. That's always bothered me, passivity of it. Saw Carl Peach, lives in Laguna now, with little Bobby. Landscape architect. But people still drive a long way for a Saturday night.

After a while of this, getting boring, we went to Studio I. Walked by Mother Lode. Long line, for what.

Had coffee, kahlua, cream and saw Glen Cram. Likes Newport. Still no boyfriend. Reno laywer friend too. Talked about skiing Baker + Bachelor.

Danced with Dick a while. Had a little more coke in the toilet. Then went to Backlot Bar. Scotch + soda.

They dealt more with techniques than with technical details. READING CHAP 12 [yellow highlight] was one of the most informative letting me know what's important to success in animation. As I stated in "Strategy for the Second Half of 89". Its a very similar situation to what I felt in trying to be musically expressive. [yellow highlight] 5:00 Go to Irvine for frozen yogurt. Irvine seems so long ago, and so primative to what I am now. Ugh. Back to Red Lion. Finish chap 12, and write up this afternoon. 6:30 Relax. Call Schuab recording DOW+ 186. Change to eans + flannel shirt. Realize I'm tired of reading technical books [yellow highlight] and if I do any more such stuff, it should be in the form of a tutoria, ala Prolog. [black ink] KEY As when I finished Algorithmic Image a year ago, I sense a lack of desire to do Animation Work, just because it uses a computer is no reason to work on it. I wouldn't be interested in animation otherwise. [yellow highlight][boxed in red ink] 7:00 Out to dinner at Wendys. Look for movie, but end up just driving around a lot. Got Gas. So I saw all of O.C.'s memories the ones I used to live in, not just Laguna Beach.Decide not to go see Glen Cram. Not that good a friend- jealousy. Uncomfortable around him, looks, clothes + pradishness +haircut + zits (my). It's not something I want [underline] to do. At Studio 1: "Come down + we can comiserate together" about not having boyfriends. "Come down + help no plant palm trees". Not much interest in talking with me. Awkward the last time. 9:00 Watch news + some "Singing in rain". 9:30 Relax 10:00 Read Chap 14 of "Animation" Future. Shower. 11:00 This trip to OC I have spent weekdays [underline] (nonholiday) for first time in the last six years. It's pleasant, but a little too [underline] quiet. No gay gyms. It was [underline] appropriate in 80 + 81. But not anymore. [yellow highlight] And Glen lives here now. Also now that, I've done app interface for Works, I won't program [underline] anything more like it.
