The fog rolls into the bay like slush,
Telling the errant heat to mush.
After four days' sweltering steam bath glow,
Fetch my cocoa and cardigan, ho!
Ho, ho, ho. I have a feeling D.J.'s writing a major piece behind the scenes in my style; her blogs lately sound more and more like me, carefree and up (whatcha practicin' fo'?), but her brash, schizo personality still creeps through. At least she's too worried about signing her name to my own writing to blab on me, I gather. I think she's in my email discussion group, though; a guy in there named Ray keeps posting satirical messages seemingly mixing her and my content each time I blog.
Watching Tokyo TV gave me a yearning for Chinatown. Besides the charming B-ads, I'm casually studying female Japanese role models--at least what I can glean through body language and voice tone, there generally being no English subtitles. The new Japanese woman comes across more liberated than American, if you overlook her too tender age. Since no one has felt like cooking, our house, like most older bay area homes, having no air conditioning, Mom and I did escape for Thai food a couple times this week between shopping at our humongous Cost Plus Imports store and other haunts. I found some really neat heavy porcelain luncheon plates, onions in sky blue against a checkered blue and white background, sort of psychedelic. San Francisco restaurant attendance is down, however, says the news. Dad was furious. "You give 'em the suggestion and they stay away like silly sheep," he carped at the screen. "Shuddup."
I might have a new job through, of all people, my honey babe. His father knows a fledging architect up here in need of a general office girl. Duties consist of making blueprints, bidding contracts, mailing portfolios, etc. His wife is the receptionist and I interview with them this Tuesday. Hope it's not really hot again that day, so I don't walk in all wilted. Then it's off with Brett for Fourth of July weekend and my birthday. He says he has a nice surprise. I can't wait!
