Missing Conrad, a Prank Call and Sexual Oversharing

6:45 a.m.

I miss ███████ ██████. She's half White and half Asian. I like mixed race girls. She calls me up, at like 9 p.m., when I'm obviously watching ████, and she's like, "Liam, what are you doin?"

"Did you... prank call me asking for ████?"

Later, I was at the Starbucks in my university, and she is so vociferous, she is telling everyone about how she ███████████ and stuff.

I inconspicuously escaped, I got the f*** out of there, I got out of dodge, a lot of people were staring at her, judging her for who she is, I don't know what is wrong with people these days....

Green Book, Wanting a Steinway and Playing “Hatikvah”

7:00 a.m.

I like this movie Green Book (2019). It's good.

I want a beautiful Steinway & Sons piano. My dad saw one in a shopping mall in Singapore. He wanted to get me one to start playing.

I play on my virtual keyboard on my phone, Perfect Piano app.

Hatikvah (The Hope) performed by Julia Kalnobricka:

https://youtu.be/iRAnZyj5HJk

The image depicts a scene inside a vintage car during the daytime. Two men are present: one is in the driver's seat, and the other is in the backseat. Both are eating, suggesting a casual, relaxed moment. The driver, wearing a dark jacket over a blue shirt, is focused on eating a piece of food held in both hands while steering with one hand. The man in the backseat is also enjoying his meal. The sunlight streaming through the windows bathes the interior in a warm glow, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere. Outside, blurred greenery and a fence suggest they are driving through a rural area. The subtitle at the bottom reads, "My father used to say," indicating an ongoing conversation or story being shared between the characters.

Remembering Something My Father Used to Say

7:45 a.m.

(a)

This is EXACTLY what my Thathi used to say to me...

This image is a video frame capturing a scene inside a car during the daytime. The driver, a middle-aged man, is holding something in his right hand and appears to be talking to someone in the back seat. The lighting is warm, suggesting sunlight streaming through the windows, and the scene has a vintage, nostalgic feel, possibly indicated by the style of the car's interior.
The driver is wearing a jacket over a collared shirt, hinting at a casual yet respectable appearance. His expression is focused, perhaps emphasizing the seriousness or authenticity of the moment. In the background, another person is partially visible, with only the outline of their head discernible, suggesting a conversation is taking place.
The subtitle at the bottom reads, “whatever you do, do it a hundred percent,” indicating a motivational or inspiring dialogue. The overall mood of the scene feels earnest and contemplative, enhanced by the subdued colors and the intimate setting of a car, which often serves as a confined space for personal conversations in films.

David Rubenstein and a Vision for Sri Lanka

8:30 a.m.

David Rubenstein's the man to talk to; he knows everyone and people like Pompeo. I'm very happy with the progress we're making. I have confidence that we can make Sri Lanka a garden of Eden and build a Bodhi Gaya in this island.

Noticing a Face Staying Dry in the Rain

8:30 a.m.

(b)

Hehehe this guy's face isn't getting wet in the rain

WTF?

The image is a video frame showing a person sitting inside a car. The individual is wearing a dark coat over a white collared shirt, with a sweater visible underneath, indicating a possibly cold setting outside. The background suggests a snowy environment seen through the car window, enhancing the sense of winter or a journey through a cold region. The person appears to be speaking, as indicated by the subtitles at the bottom of the frame which read, "Thank you. I feel safer already." The lighting inside the car is dim, creating a cozy yet serious atmosphere. The expression on the individual's face suggests calmness or perhaps subtle gratitude. This frame likely captures a moment of dialogue or reassurance within a narrative, though the specific context or identities are not discernible from the image alone.

Pausing the Archive to Write a More Demanding Script

11:15 a.m.

(b)

I am quite sleepy. I am watching Mank. They won Oscars for best production design, cinematography. I am watching it to learn how to make a good movie. I see it is black and white. I might or might not (no spoilers) have a black and white scenes for artistic impact, I dunno.

I am so sleepy.

I will stop writing here temporarily as I must honor Jonathan Hirshon for his Nov 29th birthday. I have to write my script. I will take a break.

Basically, things I write, there is sacred geometry, things are poetic. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It is wonderful practice for myself. But writing the script is actually a lot harder because I have to add things that have educational, commercial material merit and political value, that is out of my comfort zone and domain of expertise, despite any alternative ideas that arise from my writing research down here.

I will take a break till 17th November.

Just to F with Stephen LaBrooy, I told him, we want to buy Dutch Burgher Union, and then I quoted Godfather when he refused, verbatim.

Oh really, well, you should say that to Jagath yourself. He wants to hear it from you. He wants to hear the bad news immediately.

Stephen is telling me, "are you the mafia, or something?" XD "Don't try be a thug with me, Lehan". "If you don't sell it, there's going to be trouble".

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A man in Francis Ford Coppola's position can't afford to look ridiculous.

If I went to school with Prasad Kariyawasam, I'd mock him and bully and tease him, in a friendly manner, "████████████" hahahaha

Me and one of my best friends, Mikey De Alwis, we were driving out of our house, when I was very young, I think after we made a volcano, or made Dilka akki make a volcano for our science festival, where we put baking soda and vinegar, but CIS Principal David Sanders just walked on by, ignoring Dilka's hard work lolololol.. and we drove past Carey College, and Mikey, he grabbed my George Washington Bush hand, like that Saudi King in his family farm, that Bush wrote about in Decision Points, and he was telling me, look, how do you pronounce that?
