Myle & Cindy talking about winning the lottery
Myle : 'I'd buy a boat.'

how the liquor store was haunted. Telling girl from Osaka,

photos turned out well. Sun a perfect warmth along Robson

'Do you notice anything?' Myle asks, turning around &
giving her hair a little sweep with her hand. Her hair
was 6 inches shorter, layered, colored black wiwth bangs
She did look lovely, with large round earrings. She
called later saying she forgot to show me the pictures,
& how her legs didn't tan evenly, but sort of spotty
'I'll show you tomorrow.' Clear skies became thinly
overcast. Began 'The Story of Venus de Milo'

& a drawing of a mermaid

Two types of tofu with Myle at Nexts. Told me she was

Rich.' Talking to Vesna on the phone. Quite chilly today,
which was mostly overcast

Myle describing how someone crapped all over the main
floor at Sears late yesterday afternoon. Sachiyo looking
forward to seeing the drawing, telling me she used to
scuba dive in Japan, & trying to describe some of the
fish with her limited English. Dropped by Subway to say
'hi' to Ady. Korean girl not working
