If it's a human size hamster it would scare the shit out of me. Of course the animal right activists wouldn't let you kill it even if was tearing appart a town full of people.
"Werehamsters have rights too!!!"
nazimova:
I love that hamster, he looks kind of rabid but I would love to feed him cheerio's, hamsters always look like they are driving a car when they eat cheerio's..do werehamsters appreciate breakfast cereal? I hope so.

Instead of hibernating, had to go to my publisher's office for a meeting with editor and art director. I planned it as a one-day (train) trip, then I found myself with more things to do than feasible in only one day, and ended sleeping at friends's place. Friends introduced to me their new pet: a X-boX!!!... finally... everybody woke up late the morning after. Fortunately,...

aww..hibernating is more fun that traing-riding, but arguable less fun than x-boxing. hmmmm..
-It's hard for me to piucture an xbox in france. that probably makes me some sort of racist or something, but the concept makes me giggle. damn bigotry.

Can you get ms. pacman on one of those x-boxes?
My high score on ms. pacman is 77120.

The exhibition I told about some days ago finally opened. Now I feel like what I need is hibernating.

Une autre facon de decrire Portland: Bowling for Columbine sort cette semaine dans un cinema relativement commercial au centre de Portland. Ils ne prendraient pas le risque si les gens n'etaient pas interesses... Donc y'a encore de l'espoir. As-tu vu le film?
Je t'ai laisse un comment dans une de mes dernieres journal entries. Ta maitrise de la langue anglaise est impressionnante, by the way.

There is an eddie from ohio song that makes me think of you, but i don't know why!

I will send it to you.

After some rainy weeks, some sort of Indian summer finally showed up, although no Indian ever lived where I live.
Well... almost no Indian. I found out James Welch wrote last year a book (The Heartsong of Charging Elk) about an Indian who was, in the times of Buffalo Bill Circus, stranded on our distant shores ...
I can confirm for you James Welch readers...

Hi.

I just wanted to say I was listen to Tori as I surfed by here....

You have brilliant taste, and a beautiful grasp of the english language.

Re-read Brautigan's Dreaming of Babylon. Funny how much the book's plot has in common with The Big Lebowski's. The protagonist's inner monologue even gives an insight on what the pot-smoking, Black Russian drinking Lebowski could have in mind. Thinking of this... I guess what I need now is a Black Russian.
morgan:
Now I really want a Black Russian, too!

So busy. Will write you an e-mail this evening when i'm done mentoring some kids. For now, though, I must run to yet another class.

LURVE!

A quiet week-end...(rather dull, maybe?)... spent, mostly, with framing illustrations I did some years ago, and that are to be shown at an exhibition next week. I have still 20 to frame, and it could be fun if it had not to be done in a hurry.

ratsonjulia:
I've been framed!

where is your exhibition going to be? (I got the impression from earlier comments that you're somewhere in France)
poppys26:
Oh, Brilliant Tororo! I would love to see an illustration of yours. Have you seen Brian Froud's "Good Fairies Bad Fairies?" That's one of my favorite books ever. Illustrator is by far my favorite program. I'm great at recreating what I see, but I wish I was better at caricature and a more illustrative style.
I'll have to check out Yoshitaka Amano. I'm trying to get back into reading more Asian literature.

I was intrigued by this book's title:"The Lone Ranger and Tanto fistfight in Heaven"... so, before a long train trip, I asked around in local bookstores which books by Sherman Alexie had been translated in french and were available. The only one they had was Reservation Blues... and reading it I was far from disapointed. As he has a very personal way of writing, next...

LURVE.

Now I think I am going to re-read Reservation Blues.
nazimova:
hello Tororo!
thank you for offering your support, I think I am a little too sensitive sometimes.
I do think you would really like the legendary pink dots. the are from amsterdam, but alot of thier fanbase is US & UK, I think...check 'em out if you can, if you would like I could even burn you a CD.

have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Uh-oh. It seems I missed all the fun... I mean the the Personal Ad Day! at least I hope it was fun!
For those interested I 'll write a (belated) one:

I am: A wonder kid (now in his 50s... but who cares? really?). Queer, attracted by everything bizarre.
A bookworm. A cat person. A vintage movies lover.

I'm into: A former advertising graphic artist,...

Your english is really good. I'm going to learn to speak French and come over to Paris one of these days. If you're in the area maybe we can hang out.

Have you ever read Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. Just thought you'd be interested sense you're doing a graphic novel.
nazimova:
welcome back Tororo! I missed your wit & charm. I agree with sincity you speak english very well..

have you ever heard the legendary pink dots? the young at heart comment makes me think you would really love them, Edward Kaspell is just a giant kid after all. I would recommend "curse" or "the golden age" as first albums to introduce you.

glad to see your lovely posts again!!

Finally I'll end being doing stuff, instead of not doing stuff... in other words, I'll be, again, away from the keyboard for some time. It does'nt mean I forget you guys!

"After long thought and much perplexity, to be very brief was all that she could determine on with any confidence of safety."
Jane austen: Northanger Abbey

So, I'll be very brief, the decision is made. But will I plainly write: lots of work/ lack of will to do it?
Or borrow from ratsonjulia an equally adequate (probably better) formula: should be doin' stuff/ not doing...

gallicism? me=confused and stupid and too lazy to look in a dictionary. I am curous abotu this gift though....I've been making art for myself and my job-ish pursuits so much lately though that I'm getting a big time desire to make little trinkets for other people, so mayeb I understand Morgan's inability to WAIT, but then again, this pertains in no way to my need to be paid for making things.

the minature panther is a friends kitty I used to force my love upon, the kitty recently passed away which makes me sad so to cheer myself up I put the photo of us together, I think people fail to realize how magical animals are sometimes... that reminds me, I think we need to get morgan a monkey!
