Naked
I realize these days that truth comes out better in fiction. And truth is best when plain and undecorated.
I’m watching footage my dad took when we went to Chile and Argentina. The video’s pixilated and shakey and the sound of wind blows in the mic. I think it’s beautiful. I want to cut it a little bit, just a little bit to make it shorter, then I want to do nothing more with it and call it a film. Then we can watch it together.
“How are you? How are you Really? We’ve been trying to read between the lines of your weblog…” my god parents wrote to me. “Come on now, let’s write letters for goodness sakes” I heard them say in my head. I smelled the paper that came from England. Her hand writing hasn’t changed in twenty years. And his handwriting, I’ve never been able to read quite well. But I read it anyway. They talk about their grand daughter. They love their grand daughter, and so do I.
I’ve been thinking of doing nothing lately. Been a bit reclusive, but aggressive with band music. Paul’s eating the same soup I made for the 4th day, still he says ‘thank you’. I want to make more food for him. Paul’s been going to art classes, and coming back with sketches of naked people. We see his sketches and I get jealous when it’s a beautiful woman.
My dad’s video is still going on, on the computer. It’s really good. It’s real. I think I’m going to figure out how to put it on a DVD so we can share it.
Ayumi, Andrew has been going to life drawing classes since he left art college.It’s quite a serious and exhausting exercise and I don’t think they notice whether it’s a beautiful woman or not it’s the challenge of getting the different models down on paper. You could always decide to be a beautiful life model yourself or join the art class and draw handsome men!

The Browns have had a GREAT idea.. - just think of the extra money, but make sure you’ve got some hair on your head first ! I don’t think you can DO a Star Trek look alike….Persis Khambatta in the old series, Star Trek - The Motion Picture !
Get your Dad to send you the video pix that he recorded when I picked him up from Chester, and when he stayed here last year - he filmed from the car on his way south through Wales, where he said he had never been before, that could make an interesting film.. Keep making the soup for Paul.. is he OK after Mt. Fuji ?
August 29th, 2008 at 10:10 amWith your amazing figure, beautiful face (photos do not do you justice!), and incredible, warm personality, what do you have to be jealous of? BTW, do you miss living in Japan?
