February 5

Saturday.  I got lots of sleep today, maybe too much, but that’s ok cause I’ve got a good book to read, tonight, “The Pelican Brief” …

I found out that Blue Rodeo is sold out.  I’m pretty disappointed about that.  I was really looking forward to it.  If I was out on the street, I could probably scrounge up some tickets somewhere, but there’s not much I can do from in here.  Quel dommage.  Calice.  …

I’m getting a little worried about Dennis.  I expected to hear from him last night or today, but I didn’t.  Could it be just another jailhouse promise?  I thought he was sincere …

I’ve got 3 newspapers put away for tomorrow so I should be able to keep myself busy.  After that I’ve only got four more weekends to go and then I’ll be a free man!

Another weekend down.  Only four more left now.  … Dennis was in lockup last night (still is) for threatening his ex-wife (again).  So much for the favor he was gonna do for us.  Just another in a long line of fuck-ups.  …

I tried to get high tonight by taking 14 phenobarbs but nothing much happened.  I’ll probably get a good night’s sleep tonight and that’s about it …

We’re working on a 1000 piece puzzle now.  It’s not easy but it’s going well so far.  I just hope we have the patience to finish it. …

I hear that medium is full so I should be able to finish my time in max, as I had hoped. … I broke the hundred meal barrier yesterday!  96 to go …

‘twas a fairly good day.  Bubba says I’m safe here in max now … I finished my IQ test – got 128.  Sandy said it was one of the highest scores he’s ever tested.  120-130 is the top 6-7% of the population and 130+ is the top 2.2% (mensa).  I had hoped to get 130 but I’m happy with my score.  He said that it is probable that I could have scored higher on a different day.  But anyway, there’s no sign of brain damage and my memory is excellent.

He also told me he could write a letter for me that I could use in an application to a college.  My highest scores were in the verbal scores so I should be good at writing … after that I stopped at the library and picked up a few books and magazines.  I should have enough books now to finish my time …

I called the Island Rock Café and asked Keir to ask George and Elaine to look around for tickets to Blue Rodeo.  I really hope they can find some, I’d hate to miss that …

Went to church tonight, I was hoping to talk to Jodi (about Homewood and Jolene) but she wasn’t there.  Kinda like going to church.  I’m not interested in the message but if they’re willing to come out here then we should try to attend since there’s nothing else to do anyway.  I told them that Mark was depressed and lonely and that they should pray for him (ha ha ha) so he might be getting a visit from the Minister tomorrow. Ha ha ha, that’s gonna be funny.  I’m gonna miss some of these guys a little bit when I leave – there were some good moments – 30 days from now
