In a while.
I broke up with Ami near the beginning of June. Sad sad, so sad. Ripped U-Cow's head off
in Shibuya station, and Traci from The Pink Cow sewed him back together.
I work with Traci on Cow-Go!
I'm currently based at Chez Soness. I moved out of Motosumiyoshi Sakura House on 12 June
2009. BUT, I'm now living at CPC Clinic in Kagoshima (from 18 June to 18 July, perhaps + 4 days to
see the eclipse on 22 July!
My finances barely made it (*) to get me to CPC, where they'll be adequately padded for
multiple months of livin'. (* actually they didn't; I had to borrow 20,000 yen from Andrew to cover
my rent)
With said finances, I'm planning to go to Clairvision in October - February (perhaps, or
December, depending on what kinda visa I can get) for the Building Team in Hidden Valley. I need to
buy the KTs (Knowledge Tracks) from CV (Clairvision) so I can essentially be up to speed once I get
there.
Having a bit of trouble buying the KTs; my credit card's website seems a bit broken when I'm
trying to get a Shopsafe number (for use online), it balks. Might be cause my credit card is
expired. Hmmm gotta get to work on that.
Have several other things on my task list (on the app called Actions on iPhone), the biggest of
all being Cow-Go and Kevin's website, currently hosted at kyotoshaman.dreamhosters.com
I really hope to get a lot of these items done. May need to prioritize so I can bang 'em
out.
Just before coming here, I met with Soness' friend Ross, who has an art-display space where my
art is currently being displayed! Wow!! I'm looking forward to inviting people to a show there
sooooon. Then, on the same day, I met with Soness' friend Christine, an Avatar Master. The Avatar
program sounds Really Cool, so Soness and I are planning to go to OZ in August to attend!! OMG
that will be three trips to OZ in one year!
I gave to Ami the computer I bought from Jason for about 110,000 yen. Gave it to her free
sorta because I needed to move, she had enjoyed using it, and I felt bad for breaking up with her.
It was kinda a relatively inexpensive divorce of sorts. Plus Ami had certainly bought a lot of
food for us while we were together.
My current computer is my white MacBook, with 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2
SDRAM, OS X 10.5.7 and 4.12 Gigs available on 74.21 Gig HD. And I think there's no pr0n on here
anymore.
Internet access here at CPC is good at times, and bad at others. They just got it because
someone *cough* went to a different clinical drug trial company and found out *they* have internet
access available.
My best mate in here is Jon, "Where's My Martini" We played about 8 games of
Pente last night; he got well-better during the game.
I-group turnout has been dwindling; Eric checked semi-out over a year ago, Enio has been
living 1/3 time in Japan and 2/3 in China, Kevin has moved to Kyoto, David has been busy with
directing movies, and I am in CPC. That essentially leaves Michael and Takeshi, who chose to skip
last meeting.
I've been working through The Artist's Way (slowly), Avatar (slowly), and Clairvision
materials (slowlier).
Have recently not been studying Japanese. But met a woman via Cafemocha (?) that lets
people support each other in learning languages. She's fluent in Mandarin, and learning English.
I am considering learning Mandarin.
No pets at the moment. But U-Cow and Rabby are here in the clinic with me.
Marble Track 3 has been put on hold; it was the one for which I was taking stop action
photos of it to make a movie of its construction. Slow going that stalled when Fred arrived in
winter. I had Rabby kick it off the set and now it's in a bag at Chez Soness.
Fred's and Ma's birthdays, plus Dad's Fathers' Day all landed on the same weekend recently.
I called everyone at least once.
