I started a new organization that helped native Peruvians start ecommerce businesses. I flew a few Peruvian entrepreneurs in for a conference I put together so they could share their stories. They were really interesting to talk to and very appreciative of the organization. Jacob was already in Peru helping entrepreneurs get all the necessary equipment and helped them program their sites. I would meet him down there in a few days to meet everyone and then we were going to spend a romantic weekend exploring Peru.
I woke up in the middle of the night and then drifted off again and had this dream:
I was asked to help out at sxsw, so Jacob and I flew down for the week. I helped organize different media so they knew exactly where they were supposed to go and when, so that everything would progress smoothly throughout the day. I had some down time and watched in on an acting panel filled with asian actors. I met one of the actresses.
The next morning I saw the actress outside as I was walking from the hotel to the convention center. She looked distraught and told me that she is on her way to an interview but she forgot her mascara. I had mine with me, but didn’t offer it to her because that’s kind of gross. I kind of felt guilty about it. She found some strange beige mascara in her purse and started loading it on. Then she put on beige lipstick. She looked genuinely scary.
She asked me if I had seen the other asian actors she came to Austin with and I told her I knew where they were going to be, and directed her to them. We walked over together. When we got to the room it was filled with water. Everyone was bobbing up and down in in the water and speaking under water. She seemed happy to see them.
There was this wasp buzzing around and it was bothering me, so I told them I had to go and I’d see them later. On my way out I noticed two massive cockroaches about a foot large and 5 inches wide. They terrified me. The wasp flew toward them and landed on one of their backs. They crawled over to a nearby sink and splashed around in it. I got scared and woke up.
