  DEUS EX IMAGO

As recent as these digital pictures are, something about them has that same nostalgic dog-eared washed-out  quality of old photos of my parents and us kids as children.

Each picture is a fraction of a second of memory that just passed by.  I've missed taking so many others.

Just like in this journal, it's hard to believe so much time has passed.

Amy's birthday came and went.  I gave her a scrapbook with quick ten minute sketches I did of her.  It wasn't easy to present such imperfect pieces of me and quite frankly, Amy doesn't really appreciate any drawing that isn't her.  But she liked it, even though the representations were pretty rough. 

It got me to draw again, at least.  Lately, just the pressure of drawing, along with about a dozen other simultaneous  things in my head, sets me into inertia mode and hence I neglect almost everything. 

I've been escaping into Star Wars Galaxies again.  Becoming the ghost of another image.  But like any addiction, while it makes you feel better while you're doing it, the things you neglect only lead to more rebound pressure when you're done.

Anyways, that's where I've been haunting lately.  Ghosts are eternal procrastinators.

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE ONLINE

I was most surprised and overjoyed to be mentioned on this Corean site and this one recently (although I think the expletives are a bit harsh).  I'll save all you non-believers and naysayers a seat for when you decide to come aboard the C-train.

[Note: I hate the picture of me that was used - I look like a soft  goomba, and my hair is stupid.  But the newspaper ROK'd.  That was also shortly before I started using the C-spelling more often, hence the picture caption.]

I couldn't read it myself but after asking around, the Hangul posted by Corean himself (that is one hard-corean email name) translates like:

If you put a specific word search request to google you sometimes get mail and that's how I got to go to Dr. Scott's (korean name Jung Kang) page. There's quite a few interesting things. He said he was 50% korean and I thought he was white by his pic.  But I can tell you passionwise and patriotically he's 100% korean.

He talks about general Yi Soon Shin's birthday and how he got excited watching the worldcup match against Spain.

And why Korea should be Corea and he's got very good drawing skills.

These days when problems like 'giving up your Corean citizenship (to become a citizen to another country) are so blatant in the news he is very interesting.



This is me melting.

And becoming revitalized.

THE INCREDIBLE AJUMMA

I also got linked by this German man who is into women with muscles.  Specifically, my Amy in this instance.  Cracks me up.  Gotta love it.
