super powers

23rd of Nov, 2000ce* in: diary

Well, its been a week since my mingin cold started up. Only now has it died down enough to let me face a machine once again. I did take some medicine as it happens: salt in hot water, gargle for a few minutes, repeat. It will do your throat the world of good! [but the downside is that you feel like you’re 12 years old drowning at the seaside, we’ve all been through that… you know, when that mutha fucker wave comes and hits you pushing you back to shore with power enough to kill, getting dragged along the sandy beach floor thinking your going to die, being washed up on the beach in a foetal position with no swimming costume the whole beach staring at your cold naked body. Come on, we’ve all been there, right?

A good saying has come of the ill period though, one myself and my flatmate devised: hey, I’m not going back in time unless I can have special powers!

Maybe I need a stiff drink.

Second day of my Cold. I’m not staying in bed, I’m not going to use any medicine. I will however try to live my life as normally as I can, go to work, go out.
Probably won’t get many people putting their faces near me.

self portrait

Oh dear, I found this terrible self portrait the other day whilst cleaning my hard disks out, luckily I was able to get the pixels of dadako to attack it and now it looks loads better! [I drew this image in January 99, and I still don't look anything like it. The previous self portrait I did... I had to throw away as it was giving me nightmares!]
I’m thinking about making a new self portrait, hopefully it won’t be too dire.

bjork

I went to see ‘Dancer in the dark’ last night, although I thought I would fall asleep during the film [bit tired you see, ahem] it was…
Rather Bloody Good!
Shot in the shaky-cam style sort of way, you start to feel more immersed into the film for some reason that I can’t yet fathom. They also used many different types of film during shooting, but not as many as you might see in something like ‘Natural Born Killers’ or anything, it was very subtle.

Oh yeah, Bjork is the lead character. I won’t tell you what happens to her but in jest its quite fitting for that dreadful wailing she makes us endure.
However much you wish to watch this and not belive in it, it hits you like a ton of bricks, this is a inversive heart wrenching film.
Playing at the Curzon in Soho and also at the ABC Swiss centre in Picadilly Sq… If you’re a Londoner.

I quit! :)

I’m going to leaving Kleber design on 01.01.01

This is not a provisional date, I will be no more under the employment of Kleber wages.
I’m not quite sure whats coming up next, but one of the reasons for leaving is that yes, I would like to do something different next year.
My main plan is to go back to Tokyo and work there for a few years, I’ve finished my time here London… 18 months is enough.

One thing I won’t be doing between now and Tokyo is looking for a job in London. I am only welcoming freelance projects.

This is a shock to the system, for me and my friends, but its been looming on the horizon for a while… but fuelled recently by reasons I won’t go into.
