the emails and pictures are fully pasted into the master document, which has now bloated to 750 pages - 8x11 - for the month, but includes some duplicates and what is probably hundreds of pages of superfluous email trails. i'm sure that i pasted entire email conversations in over and over, and i will need to clean that up as i edit it through. regardless, it seems like quite a substantial amount of data.

i'm going to stop to eat, and copy the messenger data over when i'm done.

so, i'm about halfway through copying the emails and photos into the master document, and it seems like this is going to be a lengthy digest after all, meaning the quarterly, itself a half quarter for now with a long wait period for resolution with the first half, in fact the entire alter-reality, is going to be pushing the length of a full novel. how about that for unexpected.

the emails drastically curtail in september. i think. but, i've still got some story to tell for august...

there was no traveling, and not much youtube activity, although i did set up the studio, which is key to the music journal narrative, actually. so, it's not just all personal narrative, there's actually some substantive music journal entries. ok. i think i may have done some writing at the end of the month, as well. so, it should be a more balanced entry, actually, even if the personal narrative remains weighty.

i meant to post this the other day.

if my idea about the multidimensionality of string theory being a crude model for the expansion of space time in all directions is correct, you may want to actually look towards very high number of dimensions in your string theory - infinite numbers of dimensions, even, as you'd be getting a better approximation of the expanding space-time as the number of dimensions approaches infinity. i'm sure that most logic would have suggested the number of dimensions should be minimized, up to this point. it's some math to play with, anyways.

i think that it's well understood that there were substantial western assets on the ground in the islamic state, and they're likely to be recycled back to the front.

it doesn't matter: you still have to fight it.
