Three
days in the capitol went by like a blitz. I arrived late Monday and talked some
with the professor, before she offed around midnight to take the similar trip to
Rome as we did while I was still in that school – with lots of catacombs, Etruscan
sites and Hadrian’s Villa in it …
The plan was to draw the
Des-in-Hell story in nine panels, but I only got as far as two sketches with
two extra drawings for prezzies and a bucket-full of upcoming holiday cards for
friends and family. I made three letters and envelopes from scrap material for
G and wrote him sexy recounts of our going-away sex (we’ve still not been
cleared, so we have to improvise all sorts and it’s awesome..), with some
descriptions of that day’s coffee dates and overall mood and weather impressions,
as befitting love letters.
My headphones tore on the train,
so come Tuesday, I went to find some new ones, and was picked up by an old acquaintance
that’s just had a baby girl. We relocated to the confluence park kiosk cafe and
talked about babies mostly. She complained everyone is asking he when will she
marry the baby daddy and me being me of course said fuck that – knowing her I
asked instead when will she leave the guy and be a single mom with a good
allowance. As I always do, I warned her not to assimilate into someone else’s
world too direly – living up to their expectations, abandoning most of whom
they are as a person. I never got over it when it happened to me, so I know how
shitty the feeling you realize you are everybody’s else’s everything and none
of your own self.
The second coffee date joined
us, a woman from a former drumming band, legend in her own right. We had lunch
in a near-by school cafeteria, a school I used to go to over weekends while I
was still studying to become a pastry chef. She invited me to come shoot an
impro comedy show Thursday night. We then had cocoa in the adjacent botanical
garden, where there were still bits of snow patched lazing about.
The third date was a young boy,
my former barista, and appropriately we had espresso in a posh coffee place –
the kind where they stab you in the neck if you ask for latte or decaf. He
walked me home. In a kinky need to flirt, I texted him afterwards how it would
have been a movie-like ending if I’d had asked him up for a night cap; he
agreed.
The two espresso’s I drank took
effect at 4 in the morning, at which point I woke up and had to draw possessed.
Passing out again at 7am I had a long dream about one of my models, having her
birthday in her parents’ huge secluded modern house. Long, detailed, realistic
stoream.
On Wednesday – a day I reserved
for drawing and got nowhere – it was so cute as another teen mentioned first he’s
been invited to a Japanese ambassador’s dinner party and I offered small sexual
favours and to clean his apartment for a month to be his plus one. He remarked
he’s considered me the perfect person to deflower him. I backtracked a bit,
saying to call me when he turns legal and we talked about bondage fetish. In
truth I’ve always wanted to exercise the art of rope bondage, but the General
doesn’t trust me enough. (Man is much cleverer than he looks, mwuahaha.)
While at professor’s I found a
book – she says to pick a book I’d like for my belated birthday prez – that completely
blew me away – a book of poems by Ko Un ‘I’m writing in the air’… it’s a
translated anthology in both languages. The translations are perfect. Koreans
despair in a different way than Slavs, we are more aggressive in our melancholy…
I’ve photographed some of the poems from her book and have been reading them to
everyone who isn’t able to run away from me since.
Thursday, I finished the pasta I
tend to make for myself and eat every day, napping somewhat, aware that I may
come home late and not get enough sleep at night. I went out to meet with three
more people – a handsome young musician, the barista again and Ema, whom I have
not seen in too long and is more radiant every time I see her. We hanged until
time came for me to find the impro venue, my barista as plus 1. We watched the
drummer woman and her ensemble rock improvisational comedy, involving the
audience. It was hilarious. Some people feel amazingly calm on stage. I never
had that. I don’t even feel comfortable in the audience :D
On my way home I saw the pack of
coypus again, feasting on corn someone frequently tosses off the river bank
sidewalk, and they were adorable as ever. They are exceptionally lovely
rodents, especially these who are completely calm around humans.
Rode the train back home on
Friday, and jumped on the sleeping General before changing and offing to my
doctor’s appointment. There was a mix-up in the schedule and they claimed I was
supposed to have come yesterday, but they fit me in anyway. In truth I showered
and shaved neatly (well, symmetrically at least) for nothing – the OBGYN didn’t
examine me at all; she only read the biopsy results, asked if there’s been any
sign of complication and cleared me. I went home and REALLY jumped the General
(he paid me back for all my misbehaving and now can no longer sit properly), now that the ban on fun times has finally been
lifted. I mean, after I dragged him out for breakfast and to the pharmacy for a
foot fungus cream. Yes, I have a foot fungus. Just the one. How the fuck did I
manage to contract it I have no idea. My feet would be the last things that
ever get in contact with anything in winter season. Ah, well. Keeping socks on
for sex…. I heard it was a big thing in the 19th century. :P
Tired and sleepy still. We were
supposed to go hunting tomorrow, but it’s drizzling. I still have a bunch of
projects to wrap up; will do that instead. Good to be home. Cold and noisy, but
sooo homey.
