I am making my first inter-continental flight,on time and not even that nervous...
I'm about to do it... I am about to board Air India flight (AI) # 112 originating from JFK airport in NYC with a destination of London (Heathrow) . . . I am writing this from gate B-31 . . . at 7:19 pm New York time... 4:19pm west coast time...
I will be sitting in seat 24-K... my boarding pass says that we board at 1845, but the representatives here tell me that i will be 10 minutes after the crew arrives, an I just saw them approaching... so time to sign off...
my next entry should be from the UK... or if not, from NL, as all I am really doing in London tomorrow (Friday) is transfer myself and my bags from this flight/LHR to London's Luton airport so that I can catch my easy jet flight to "em-effing" Amsterdam...

page 1 of 10 . . . letter to Drew
Hey Drew-ishkey,
I got your last letter (dated 8-10) just the
other day. I got a *new address, just
rented a P.O. box from a postal store (in August)
& pre-paid 6 months rent on it, so from now
on please write to me at:

______________________________
& no matter where I am
I'll be sure to get it
quicker than if you
were to send it to my dad's. I actually
put all my basic stuff (clothes, music, etc.)
and my cat (JasperIlena) in my car (blueberry)
Wed. August 1st, stayed at Hain's & on
Thursday August 2nd I hit I-10 west...
had dinner in L.A. with Drea, and then
drove up to San Francisco. I wasn't able
to get ahold of Erik Ackerman, who I
usually stay with there, and most my
other bay area friends were doig some
traveling of their own, plus I was nearly
broke & in a hurry... so, I ended up
just sleeping in my car for a few hours
in the city, and then continuing the drive
early (Friday/8-3) morning... I got in (page one)
(begin page two)

10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 3 letters, 1 letter, 4 letters...
π . . . pi . . . [3.14] . . . SAYS: I want this first entry here to be subtitled, "10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 3 letters, 1 letter, 4 letters..." why ? because of the mnemonic devices people use to memoize digits of pi . . . read this, from my link # 2 page cited below, "Poe, E: Near a Raven is a pi mnemonic that encodes the first 740 decimal digits of the constant pi. This extreme example of constrained writing bears a remarkable similarity to the content, rhyme and tone of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, The Raven. The digits of pi can be recovered from the words in the poem as follows:
If the length of the word, n is less than 10 letters then the next digit in pi is n.If the length of the word, n is exactly 10 letters then the next digit in pi is 0.If the length of the word, n is greater than 10 letters then the next two digits in pi is n."
and because "10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 10 letters, 3 letters, 1 letter, 4 letters..." would then translate to, "zero, zero, zero, zero, three, one, four" . . . so this is blog entry number / # '0000314' . . . how 'appro-pro' for a blog titled 3fourteen, written by a chick called π . . . or pi . . . or three point one four . . . or pook . . . or whatever . . .
