thanks to yumi, and yajing
for helping out with the kanji
which translates as follows:
You will feel that you are suddenly floating in the air.
At that moment you will see your Mother's face.
Then you are no more.
15th (Thursday)
Website work. Foggy all day. Some good research for the
next pastel, 'Mitsubishi Kamikaze'. Finished Michelangelo
Time-Life bio this afternoon, that I'd purchased 35 years
ago. Heavy fog this evening
17th (Saturday)
Website work. Short talk with Maggie, long talk with
Natalie this morning. Girl who works at Makeup Forever
stopped to talk, holding coffee & dessert. I think she's
Indian. with blonde hair & lovely face. 'Reefer Girl,'
perhaps? Walking along Commercial Dr. in a light mist at
twilight. Standing at Georgia looking at the old Mc/Bloedell
bldg. An architectural masterpiece, rising elegantly up into
the mist, circled by halos of sparkling light
22nd (Thursday)
Website work. Short chat with Japanese girl at Market Place
24th (Saturday) [Mitsubishi Kamikaze!]
Charming Indian girl at Harbour Centre this morning. Another
long talk with Natalie, who called Myle's ring 'that big
clunker'. Obviously thinks it's a little pretentious. Girl
at Makeup Forever walked by. She looked stunning. Down the
Rabbit Hole
27th (Tuesday) [Mitsubishi Kamikaze!]
Delicate light snow falling this morning. Showed Japanese
girl the Kanji as a confirmation. 'Mitsubishi!' she said,
quite loudly. Told her I'd show her the drawing when it was
finished. 'Yes, please do,' she replied
28th (Wednesday) [Mitsubishi Kamikaze!]
Talking with Natalie this morning, who hasn't checked out
the website yet, but promises she will soon. The card is on
her dresser, & she wonders why her husband hasn't asked about
it. Short little talk with the Indian girl too, who is
strikingly handsome. Talking to Korean girl at Soody's, asking
what happened to the other girl. Told me she was only temporary
& said, 'Do you want ME to cut your hair?' This girl IS VERY
beautiful. She calls herself 'Nicky' & her Korean name sounds
something 'E-Soo-Young'. Talking to Ady on the phone
Febuary
2nd (Monday) [Mitsubishi Kamikaze!]
Long day & night at work on the drawing
3rd (Tuesday) [Mitsubishi Kamikaze!]
Telling Maggie that Agnes hasn't seen the portrait. 'But it's
not like I'm in love with her. I'm still in love with Minori'
Familiar wave of her hand
4th (Wednesday)
Website work. Myle returned from the Orient! With nine new
pairs of shoes, handbags, etc. She's 105lbs & told me she's on
a salad diet until August. Rui Li showing me Year of the Ox
horoscope for Horses. It was in Chinese, & said something about
getting married, but warned about 'a third person'. The mtns in
a lovely glow of pink light, & 15 minutes later the sky streaked
with clouds colored in the same light.
