RANDOM IDEA: twice a day, I’ll reroll my flair, use Craiyon to generate an image of whatever is on my mind at the moment (colored to match the flair) and use it as my PFP.
Tell me what you think about this.

Some more recent journal entries - oldest first:
ENTRY C
Important update on Colbrine Sector: I've been misspelling its name for the past month.
Less important update on Colubrine Sector: it tried to branch into a thread about some sort of embodiment of [NAME], an opposite of said embodiment & a genuinely inspiring quote from [NAME]; "creation exists at the crossroads between order and chaos". Colubrine Sector found fault with the main character and dropped the thread.
ENTRY D
While draining the bath, I remembered all the cool, partially dragon-related lore that was written in the promotional booklets in the Calliope-brand board games. You know what happens next . . .
AGENDA:
- Transcribe the Calliope papers ASAP
- Inquire about the lack of ChatGPT news
- Ask [NAME] to do the rambling that he mentioned doing
- Consider watching R2NL tomorrow
ENTRY A
I don't know why, but it feels like [NAME] and the others were slower to get up today. Also, three was a power outage around midnight, which I blissfully slept through. But without further ado, here's the dream log:
Accidentally letting Sabine loose
A secret minigame in Gerudo Town
Taking pictures of weird creatures
Awkward Fellow with whiskers
A cat with [DKG]-ish fur
Duck on the dash cam
The Gerudo Great Skeleton, except filled with single-headed [GLK]s
There was a third dream which I remember really deserved to be logged, but I can't remember it! Oh well, the dreams that I remembered are still fine.
(CONTEXT: I swiped Apple’s official journaling app a few days ago & have been using it to make the entries that I’ve been sharing)
ENTRY C.2
I've got an interesting new thread. This one features conspiracies, note-taking . . . and that's mostly all I have so far. I'll make sure to share an update about where this thread goes.
ENTRY C.3
Update on the latest Colbrine Sector thread: the raiding has been de-escalated to "civilian research leasing". Also, the Kulfi and Shikanjvi concept has been merged with the thread.
TAKING NOTES: I overheard [NAME] asking my mom about trains - the clothing kind . . .
[pictures of weather forecasts]
ENTRY C.4
We got a straw shorter than it was wide. Damaging winds, frequent lightning and isolated TORNADOES, in an advisory note pointed STRAIGHT AT US! These conditions are very sketchy!
[picture of a pillow]
ENTRY D
Awkward Fellow is somewhere in your room. Don't get weirded out.
ENTRY C.2
I think I managed to get Colbrine Sector working again! When I mixed together the "relocation" concept, a certain SMO character and other stuff that Colbrine Sector likes, I got a story framework with some real value! It's going swell so far, but it's also 6:26 (pm), and I have dinner to prepare and eat!
ENTRY C.3
"Beeeeep!" -me, picking up on the news about the massive storms coming for us
Someone should make an AI that asks you a series of questions & lets you list info which it turns into a generative AI chatbot. I’d like this to exist so I can have a face-to-face conversation with Colbrine Sector, because unless Kielbasa or other related neural computing devices actually exist, my brain isn’t powerful enough to personify a network of subconscious programming and have a conversation with it.
I bring this up because my dad is looking to tap into a business-grade ChatGPT subscription. (He planned to have gotten access by yesterday evening, but his text went unnoticed.) Once I get access to that subscription, I plan to torture test it with the prompt
From the first-person view of a mental entity named Colbrine Sector, generate a rant-like dissertation about the ways that dragons have been portrayed as villains and why it is necessary to start portraying them strictly as protagonist characters.
to see what Colbrine Sector would REALLY say on the matter.
POV: you’re using your phone at 6:26am with glazed eyes:
ENTRY A
I'm up there wee horses! My pants turned out to be the hot kind,
resulting in below average sleep.
DREAM LOG:
Making s****** ****** with R*****
Three tiny new chasms in Lanayru
Ice cream shop in Gerudo Town
A slideshow
Something that tastes bad
The true identity of the art calendarI was going to post this in a comment, but it started to drift from the post’s topic, so I moved it here:
I also daydream too much, but I haven’t thought of logging my daydreams. At this point, I wish I had started logging my brain activities earlier, as my daydreams seem to be stagnating on a lack of emotional fuel. If I can get Colbrine Sector to come up with some innovative new theme for my daydreaming, I’ll start logging my daydreams big-time.
If I don’t get Colbrine Sector working, remind me to watch Return to Neverland next Sunday.
Earlier today, after trying to Shazam some music (GT-180 broadcasts, in case you were wondering), I lost track of my AirPods case. After failing to locate them, I pocket my AirPods, lie down in bed, let Colbrine Sector do its thing, and think nothing more of it.
A few minutes ago, I absentmindedly reach into my left pocket, and pull out . . . my right AirPod.
Oh, well. The other one’s probably somewhere in my bed.
When it comes to my opinions about dragons, my brain is divided. For instance, the logical, waking portion of my brain . . . nevermind, I’ll hand it over to Kielbasa:
<< NEURALSYSTEM.GENERATE : "write a first-person statement about my
conscious opinion about dragons"
-=-=-=-
Dragons are great in every way, shape and form. I can get a little
nervous when I see an unfamiliar one, but only because I fear for
what Colbrine Sector will think of it. I've even written a four-line
poem about an "evil" dragon that ends up dying.
TL;DR: Dragons are good in any form.
-=-=-=-And the emotional portion of my brain, the one that I’ve been calling Colbrine Sector? For starters, let’s just say it has some differences of opinion from me:
<< NEURALSYSTEM.GENERATE : "write a first-person statement about
Colbrine Sector's opinion about dragons"
-=-=-=-
On the inside, ALL dragons are gentle, tranquil animals. Any dragon
that appears to be doing something out of "evil" is in fact doing it
out of fear, stress, lightheartedness or misunderstanding. Because my
mom is taking a college course on religion, I've been meaning to ask
her about why dragons are so badly represented in so many corners of
mythical culture.
TL;DR: There is no such thing as an "evil" dragon, and dragons in
every form need to be respected.
-=-=-=-(Observation: Colbrine Sector is kind of pushy about its opinions. Kind of ironic, given the ideas that it’s trying to get into my other cerebral hemisphere.)

conversation about the notebook (paraphrase as necessary to maximize
coherence)"
-=-=-=-
I have this notebook that I really want to write creepy, cryptic
stuff in, but . . .
-=-=-=-While eavesdropping off of a conversation between my sister and my mom, I heard that my sister has one notebook that she wants to write cryptic stuff in, but hasn’t, for a reason that I don’t remember. It seems that everyone has a fixation on being cryptic. For example, my fixation on being cryptic has resulted in my penchant for hoarding runic languages.
I was going to snap a joke here, but . . .

The previous week has been JINSHANA WEEK.
This week is SALES TAX WEEK.
-=-=-=-Yesterday, I was reviewing my transaction history for fun, and due to a mix-up in the indexing process, I ended up thinking that five dollars had somehow gone missing from my Apple Cash card. And that’s just the shortened version of the incident.
The event is over. Here are some snapshots from the whiteboard:
