its so cold here. that is officially the running narrative. and that im eating a lot of chocolate almonds and getting a lot of zits. my schedule keeps getting fucked up. so i never really have a full weekend. and i work after work. colouring, and thinking, etc. how does that work???? ack. but im making a lot of money, so why am i complaining.
im really lonely. for a lover. oh yeah. that would be nice. maybe when i move to akayu ill meet the japanese version of a redneck and fall in love and grow squash over the summer. that would be not so splendid. but alas.
did i mention it is cold here (probably a lot hey? its sooo cold! im so used to the sunny/rainy/two days of a little snow and EVERYTHING shuts down vancouver winters. but not here. its going to be really cold and snow a lot!! oh, im going to buy winter boots for the first time in three years!!! waaaa? and i actually bought a winter jacket! can you believe i got through last winter with a fleece hoodie. oh, vancouver how i miss you!!
aside from that, i got a cell phone. and im enjoying taking pictures with it (the phone was free with getting a keita with that company )(keita=mobile phone). my boss gave me a high five after my class. how great is that? and he took me to the nishizao highlands. and the area up there on top of the mountain, in this meadow, looked just like the smithers area. right by the airport. with that big mountain and the glacier. but kids, remember, this is japan, and there was not glacier, and the mountain was climbable. but i didnt climb it. i mean i am a professional! ha ha.
okay kids im going to go. im spending my time fantasizing about finding a loved one in the japanese countryside during the middle of winter, colouring, making people's xmas present, book making, and im going to read more books "idoru" by w.gibson, "snow falling on cedars", "harry potter and the goblet of fire" and a book about a village in russia. non-fiction. oh yeah.
i need more richard brautigan. someone please tell me how much you love him so i can marry you!
xoxo di funk.

lovely di,
Aren't you from up north? It's been 3 years of Vancouver winters after sooo many years of 18 feet of snow at once ;) get used to it :) I miss you and thought that I should post this here for you to remind me of you!
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
Richard Brautigan, 1967
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
love and hugs from Graham
that's so hot
keep warm kiddo! dance to some Gwen.
Oh, and I'm dooonnnneee!!!!!!!
-Carly
