Exhaustion
12/15/00
Tired again. What’s new? I’m spending too much on the holidays. I know it, but that’s ok. I get spoiled too. Today I got a special package from amazon. Yay! Thank you Secret Santa Mr Claus! (We know who we’re talking about ain’t we… ha) for sending me Toshiro Mifune in Kurasawa’s film “Throne Of Blood” Awesome.
Black & White old school drama and angst in Kurasawa’s understated macbeth remake.
In short.
I love samurai.
I love Kurasawa.
I love Shakespeare.
This film is going to rock. when I get some time to vedge and really enjoy it. Woo hoo!
Also too spoiled. I had a lovely late dinner with good pal of mine Jem from old usenet days. We’d corresponded on one particular newsgroup for a couple of years and a few years back bumped into each other at a buffet line at a ISPCON conference party. He started cracking up when we exchanged cards and he recognized my name from the newsgroup. Oddity of oddity.
Anyways, though he lives in Korea with lovely wifey and kid, he comes to the bay area monthly or so and I get spoiled with some great company, good food, and chuckles. This is the same man who first introduced the knowledge of hello kitty vibrators to me. Scary, and true. Oh, we talk lots of shit all the time. Amazing to me that he’s like a kajilliionaire general partner of his own VC and the technical advisor for Masayoshi Son & the chairman of Samsung etc. Still, he hangs out with me for nothing more than levity and charm. I suppose I’m eye candy too. We crack jokes all the time about how I’m his platonic mistress. Sure sugahdaddy, whatevs. He he he he he. But he’s fantastic, a great cool cuddly uncle type guy that I can crack sick & twisted jokes with. Still, I’d hate to be accross the conference room table from him. He’d be a bad mofo & invicerate me with a glare, I’m sure.
I’m beloved by great men. Damn it, why is it that only the married ones appreciate me. Dad, bro, jem, secret santa, GMon, etc. Agh. Stupid stupid stupid. Well, it leaves me comfortably autonomous. It’s really not a bad thing at all. I’ve got a few friends who are begining to think about long term celibacy.. like the vocational kind. Fricking A.
Though I’m comfortable with my singleness and my celibacy, I know for certain that it’s not the long range plan for me. If so, God wouldn’t have made me such a hormonally affected gally with such great kissing lips.
Blast from the past 1975
I was 1.5 years old and this shot was taken in Korea. Even back then my hair was a light brown. And even back then my nose was a little shiny.
