11:02pm: stood on balcony with mom and talked about how spring smells. She said ‘look at that, is that a star? It’s not the bright one, it’s the lower thing.’ It was blinking. Remembered reading part in tao’s book where I asked him if a star was moving and we talked about aliens, then remembered moment he wrote about. Told mom about dark airplane shape I saw fly over the trees at whole foods during zachary phone call. She said ‘that sounds like a drone.’ I said ‘but it wasn’t making any noise.’ She said ‘that’s how they’re making them, I heard something today. They want to make them so they can shoot a missile to north Korea from here. The missile would go all the way to there, from here.’ I was staring at the star she had pointed out, trying to see if it was moving. I said ‘it’s an airplane I think, see? It’s going. Moving.’ she said ‘where? Oh I see, it’s an airplane.’ told her about seeing two shooting stars on the way from new jersey to dad’s apartment. She said ‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I’ve seen a double rainbow.’ we walked inside. I said ‘do you remember hale-bopp?’ she said ‘yeah…was that when we were living on Brentwood?’ I said ‘yeah like nineteen ninety-seven.’ she said ‘I remember it happening but I don’t remember seeing it, I don’t think.’ I said ‘you must’ve, it was like, for a few days. Or like a week maybe. It was a comet, so, you know. I remember I took pictures with my camera, I remember taking pictures’ and stopped myself from rambling thing I didn’t see having an end. She said ‘well I must’ve seen it.’
