Just touching on a couple of already-mentioned points...

[casemyo]

damn good to have someone here so knowledgeable about this situation J&T are in, welcome psudub.

yeah at this point i definitely think teddy works for tagruato/bold futura and im just waiting for jamies next video to include something along the lines of "sorry for sleeping with the backcourt of the knicks teddy. i love you! ..oh and rob needs a job can you hook it up?"

For some reason I think Teddy is some activist, specifically revolving around oil. If he's off saving the world and all. Just makes me think further that the website akaparallax.com is involved somehow. Messages about the Big Oil and it's environmental impact. Also it seems to be updated whenever something else is. The most recent songs have strange names but I do recognize the songs, in fact one is Exactly What You Wanted by Helmet and another is Every Little Thing Counts by Janus Stark and then an older one that's been on there for awhile - Chagall Guevara's Murder in the Big House - I don't know the rest. The 4:25 mark in IODP Remix still freaks me out.

Teddy's mission

[Melampus]

I'm starting to like the idea of Teddy being part of a team overseeing the opening of the Chaui station. Here's why...

1. The ball/toy thingy in Jamie's vid. seems to point to Bold Futura. She's playing w/it in the 1st vid., and it's in this latest vid., but it's not in the second one. The biggest problem with this is that Hawk "chugged a Slusho!" way back on June 2nd. From what we know, it's likely that Jamie hadn't hooked up with Teddy as early as that, so Rob works for Slusho!... just coincidentally? Could just be the PM's being sloppy, but I dunno. Hurm...
Anyway, assuming Teddy does work for Bold Futura....

2. BF is the engineering side of Tagruato - it handles all the hardware and machinery, etc. So, it would be the branch of Tagruato that designed & constructued the drilling platforms.

3. All we know about the Chaui station, apart from it's relatively convenient access to NYC, is that it was scheduled to open in September, 2007.

4. Teddy left town - for work - on either Sept. 6th or Sept. 7th.
- In Jamie's comment to Lena (on 9/10), she said that Teddy called her on "each of the last three days." So, depending on whether she's counting that day itself (the 10th), it means that Teddy saw her video on the 7th or 8th. In the first video, Jamie says "I know you've only been gone for a day" - so, Teddy left on either the 6th or the 7th.

So, this would all fit - Teddy went as part of a team of engineers overseeing the opening of the station. Hopefully, we'll get some weird video from him of something going wrong out there - that would actually explain why Rob looks like he wasn't totally surprised. Maybe Teddy tried to warn them, but it got garbled, the video was sketchy, couldn't quite make out what was going on, Teddy sounded crazy, etc. I hope this is how it goes, b/c then we might get to see that video.

Oh, also - he could still think he's "saving the world" even though he's an engineer installing oil-drilling platforms, because they also do bioprospecting (YMR) with those platforms, and that could be the part of the operation that Teddy's more excited about - feels he's doing his part as an engineer to help find these miracle drugs, etc. etc.

My only problem with this is the time zone issue. Jamie says that it's 'really early in the morning' and that she wanted to 'catch him before he started his day.' If he were at Chaui, he'd be a couple hours ahead of her, so it's got to be really early - like 4-6 A.M. But, she was apparently really hammered the night before, and they prob. stayed up late, and she looks like she's already slept for a time... it just doesn't seem right. I mean, maybe they don't want her to look as awful as she should - if she was wasted and only slept for a few hours. Anyway, we have no idea at all what time that video was supposed to have been recorded, so it might still work. FWIW.

Also, I think she sent the video b/c she probably WAS making out with guys on the dancefloor (as she says Teddy's ex was sure to report, but it wasn't true, blah blah blah). I don't think she cheated, but she gets drunk and is a massive flirt/J-ho. So, she probably did some dirty dancin' and maybe a bit more - got busted by the ex, and is now feeling guilty and panicky. Just a thought. That would make sense of her saying she wasn't perfect, she was lonely, etc., but not looking too guilty. A minor transgression (and, for Jamie, not even a blip on the radar )

Hey, I apologize if I'm asking about something already discussed ad naseum (searching was difficult) but here it goes-

They really seem to be emphasizing how much they text each other, and there's the quite mysterious mention of the texts in the second video. Is there any way at all to access your text messages online somewhere? Is there any way, in other words, to find these messages they keep refering to? I know someone suggested there may be a way to recover her purse and cell phone in a lost-and-found if we knew what club she was at, but we don't.... anyhow, this seems like a really good avenue of exploration.

Also, the suggestion that that's a guy in Jamie's bed is absolutely ridiculous. Why the hell would she record herself in bed with another guy, then post the video for her boyfriend to see? I mean, she's obviously stupid, but she's got to be brighter than that. If she's smart enough to dress herself and pee on her own, she's smart enough to record a video for her boyfriend while not being in bed with another man.

[Melampus]

That's a good idea, Deletia - that way, we can still find out something from her lost phone, but w/out leaving our computers.

I would imagine there is a way to check your text messages online, through some kind of account w/your phone company, but I don't know - I don't have a cutting edge cell phone. Even so, we'd have to know what kind of phone she had and/or her carrier/provider, wouldn't we? And, we don't know that stuff.

She says, "It's really early in the morning and I just wanted to catch you before you started your day." The time zone thing works, I tell you. If you find the station on the time zone map (it's below the tip of Greenland and in the same time zone) it's 2 hours ahead of NYC time. So early morning in NYC = slightly later in the morning at Chuai. 6AM in NYC = 8AM in Chuai. No matter what the exact time is for Jamie, its feasible that it's around start of a normal work day at Chuai. In any event, he has to be either in the same time zone or EAST of NYC within a few time zones.

Not to mention she went out of her way to drop this info in the video, that was the first thing she said...they gave us the map, they wanted us to figure this out. Does this confirm that he's there? No. But it definitely suggests that he is there.

Does anyone know when this video actually was uploaded, as in when it first became available on the site? That'd help a lot in knowing when it was actually meant to have been taken, if it wasn't in fact supposed to be the morning right after the last video. The collective assumption seems to be around 4-6 am, but somehow I think it'd be a fair bit later. Bars close at 2 am, and it'd take a little time to get home. She's that sober with only a couple of hours of sleep?

I still don't think she's that good at figuring out time zones anyway. In a way of more organic thinking, I'd expect her sense of 'before his day starts' to be before he's gotten up. That'd place him more at night. Consider this:
She sleeps 6-8 hrs after collapsing at home. This means it's about 9-10 am.
In Japan it's 10-11 pm on the same calendar day.
By the time she gets the cam set up, video made, and posted it's closer to 11-12 pm in Japan. Teddy is going or has gone to bed.
Next morning for Teddy, he checks his email and such in the morning, and finds this gem and maybe some texts or emails from evil ex.
