9:44 AM
It's sunny.
I'm still pretty sick..

4:53 PM
After running around town I get home and there is a new toy waiting for me...



9:51 PM
Just got in from having a tasty Thai dinner. Duck curry for me. I was trying to avoid too much sugar in Thai iced tea but the waitress was so charming that I graciously accepted another glass. Then it was time for coconut ice cream....


Good god I'm full but it was so worth it.

I have to be up early to go to Merced and have a workout with Sifu and the girls. It should be fun but I just left Merced; not looking forward to going back! No late night New Year for me but what else is new. This night always seemed a little too weird for me. Monty Python and beer is the way I used to spend it and that still sounds appealing.

Here's a pair of adorable houses that I saw today by Haight...


At the moment I'm feeling pretty good. Hopefully I'll be better in the morning.

7:48 AM
The sky is clear. Finally a break. It's still cold though.
I had a dream that I was hanging out with the MMA crowd and that I was going to go against a crowd favorite, but we ended up getting along and hanging out with each other beforehand. We never got to the fight part...I woke up. I was looking for my workout clothes and someone (me?) shit all over my street clothes and the changing room.

9:41 AM
Sunning kitties...

Happy cactus...

10:00 AM
The sun is out and it's making me all horn-doggery....

11:59 PM
Did a bunch of running around. Had lunch at one of my favorite Thai restaurants on Clement. Went thrift-storing, looked for a clackamore which they tell me is being discontinued (!!!), etc. The ride home was freezing. Had a tasty Indian food delivery for dinner.

Random pics from today, from two murals on Mission...two murals in the same alley.

10:44 AM
It's grey and cold.
I'm still sick.
I seem to have had some intense dreams but I can't quite remember them.
Had naughty thoughts half the night.

9:07 AM
It's cold and grey. It's supposed to rain.
It doesn't feel like there is an end in sight for my cold. It's getting old.

So, on Dec. 23 my mom and step-dad came into the city to pick me up and have dinner with his family. We went to a fancy Italian restaurant by the Embarcadero. It was okay, not the best but certainly not the worst. Then we cruised into Martinez and spent a little time ay his brothers house.
On Christmas eve Dave and I went to see "I am Legend" with Will Smith and I really enjoyed it. The intensity never really let up, there was some tear jerking parts....I'd see it again. For lunch he treated me to Applebee's which isn't that great of a place. Then we ran around town and looked at all of the empty houses, which there is a bunch of. Opened presents that evening. My mom got me a fantastic book called "Weird California" and I really like it. I want to visit some of the spots so bad.
Christmas day was spent at my aunt's house in Modesto. Got to chat with my family that I literally see once a year now. My uncle is doing metal work that is being used in winery's, as far away as Spain! I think that is very cool.
By the day after Christmas I was ready to get the hell back to SF. E's mom drove us to Pleasanton and we took the BART in. I was so happy to be home. I don't like to spend too much time in the valley.

10:16 AM
Just remembered that I had a dream about that weird porn guy called Mr. 18inch......I don't know why.

7:23 PM
Goddamn it's cold!

7:53 PM
My pretty cactus...



11:15 PM
Took a trip to Berkeley this afternoon. Took the BART on out.

BART station


Then we farted around and went to an outlet store, the North Face I believe. Then stopped in for some super tasty chinese food. I think the fried rice was cooked in butter! It was wonderful.


Random Berkeley shots....




So, I'm acting like a teenage girl with my digital camera, but I can't help it.....

10:07 AM
A bit grey.
I'm still sick. I can't seem to get it out of my lungs.
It's wonderful to get a full nights sleep again.
I don't remember any dreams that I may have had.

10:06 PM
I updated almost 12 hours ago!!!
I bought a digital camera!!! YAY!!!I'm very excited.

10:03 PM
I'm so tired, and so glad to be back in the city. It was a long couple of days, and I was disappointed that I didn't get to write in my journal.

10:43 AM
It's sunny. I feel feverish. My cold or whatever it is has moved into my lungs and head.
Had a dream about getting ready to have sex with my "wife". whoever that was, who suddenly decided to tell me that she's going to have sex with some artist she read about in a magazine. So I was confused. Having more dreams like this. Had one the night before where E was going to get married but still wanted me to sleep in her bed. Weird.
I'm leaving the beautiful city to go to the horrible central valley tonight. I never felt at home there, I barely had friends....why would I want to be there when I could stay in a place where I feel welcome, have good friends. etc.? Damn I hate holidays.
When next I write I'll be in Merced.

10:11 AM
Sunny and cold
My back hurts and I feel a cold coming on. Probably trying to get out of Christmas.

3:42 PM
My insides, mainly stomach, are all jacked up. Blah.
Sylvia called and it's always nice to hear from her.
Still waiting for the girls to come visit...

10:02 PM
Ducks beat the Sharks, 5-2...yay!!!
Had a nice time with the girls. They had Sara with them, who I haven't seen in a long time. She's asked me to exhibit in the cafe where she works in Oakland. That'll be good. Coming up sometime early next year.
Tomorrow my family is coming to the city and I'll be heading back to the valley with them. Ugh.
Spent some time transferring my poems into another book.

9:32 AM
It's cold and partly cloudy.
I had a dream about cats and bears living together, or, rather, I was trying to get them to live together. They were pretty much all babies.

8:14 PM
This was created on a poetry generator, based on my DA site...

Drinking strong wine....yum.

10:29 AM
It's sunny and comfortable.
Again, I'm having trouble waking up. I think I was supposed to sleep in a bit more.
Had a dream about a computer that was only used in the rain, but it was stolen. I was very disappointed about it, especially that I wouldn't be able to write in this journal anymore.
I was up late researching sound poetry, trying to find inspiration for the upcoming show and recordings that I'm going to do with Mr. D. I still need to buy a mic and maybe something for delay.
Yesterday I started another new painting, this one called "Telephone Rock" after one of my favorite Sesame Street skits.

3:59 PM
Went out to Sushi Boat for lunch and had a relaxing time. The cute Chinese waitress was there.
Went out to Japantown, just to look around. Didn't buy anything but I almost came home with a couple of new knives. Surprisingly I decided not too...
Working on "Telephone Rock" but I'm a bit unmotivated. Worked a whole bunch yesterday.
Stefanie called while I was on the way to J-town...her and Amber will be here on Saturday. That could be fun.
My neuropathy is bugging me a bit.

6:25 PM
It's impossible to find books of sound poetry. I even went to Green Apple and they didn't seem to have any. But maybe I'm not sure what to look for.

10:58 PM
Had a good evening at the gym. That very attractive, and very buff, asian woman was there and she gave me a dirty look. HOT!!!

10:17 AM
It's partly cloudy. It's supposed to rain more.
Today is my official last day of class for the year. I'm not completely motivated to go in, but I'll live.
Had a dream with wild animals, tiger's and things of that sort. Also a bamboo jews harp.

1:13 PM
Just discovered that my cactus is flowering! It's very pretty.

11:12 PM
Had my last class. I had 14 kids, which is rare. It was a fun evening.
Just finished a bunch of South Park holiday episodes.

9:08 AM
It's pouring outside.
My mouth is really dry. Yuck.
Don't remember my dreams from last night.

11:01 PM
Ploo came over to take pics but I wasn't feeling up to it. But I enjoy kicking it with her.
Julia stopped by for a visit, and it was very pleasant.
My blood sugar got really high and it made my time at the gym difficult.
Just started a new painting that has one of my favorite Picasso bather's on it.
Finished a couple of other older paintings today.

9:49 AM
It's grey and a bit rainy. Since there was no sun coming straight in the window I was able to sleep in and I feel pretty refreshed.
So the agenda for today is trying to finish Mike Rowe, then head over to Berkeley to see "The Grey Gentlemen".I'm going to need to push myself.

3:11 PM
Just put the finishing touches on Mike Rowe and I'm quite pleased with it. Now to get it to Discovery.com before tomorrow.....

11:37 PM
Had a great time out in Berkeley. The band, The Grey Gentlemen, were great. Mr. D. looked like he was having a lot of fun up there, and he seemed to enjoy confusing the very small audience. I don't think there was ever more than 20 people in there at one time. But I had a great time. E. and I went, and Landon met us out there. I think he liked meeting Mr. D. Then Dorgon, E. and I all rode back to S.F. on the BART and BS'ed the whole time. It was a good night. I haven't been to Bezerkeley for ages.

7:50 PM
Had a great evening with friends, watched Turkish Star Wars, had a lot of laughs, etc. It was very good.

10:08 PM
I am very tired.

8:06 AM
Sunny and cold.
I'm really tired. i stayed up later than I should have and then I tossed and turned for a while. It's going to be hard getting through classes today. But, it is my final Saturday class....vacation soon!!!
Been up late reading/watching 9/11 stuff. I've no idea why I'm doing that.

9:58 AM
It's sunny.
Slept in again. I barely remember a dream I had, but I was on a bus and recognized a woman in the back as a performance artist...and her boobs were ginormous. On the wall was carved "I'm Alive". That's all that I can think of at the moment.
Need to work on the Mike Rowe portrait today. The contest deadline ends early next week.

11:14 PM
Worked on "Mike Rowe" after lunch, which I had in Japantown. Drank some Sake, which was pretty tasty, then hung around the J-town mall. I like what I've got painted.
Really wanted to buy a cool knife I saw at the cutlery shop.
Tomorrow is my last big MA class of the year....a small one Wednesday night, then I'm on vacation.

9:51 AM
Sunny
I just woke up. I was really tired when I finally went to bed, but I'm not crazy about sleeping in.
The plants in the living room look really happy. They're very alert.

11:00 PM
Finally was able to make it to the gym. It's been close to two weeks. Pushed it a bit, but it was good.
Made a tasty curry dinner.
For lunch Ploo treated me to Japanese and I ate a cooked pregnant fish. I could have tolerated it but when she told me it was pregnant I really lost interest. I finished mine...I let her eat the other two.
Started my portrait of Mike Rowe.

8:44 AM
It's grey and cold.
My arms a sore, probably from all the hard and fast Jew's Harp playing yesterday.
This is my 100th journal entry.

11:16 PM
Signed two paintings this afternoon. It's nice to have them done.
Had a good class this evening. I have a great new student named Nancy. She's all of seven and is very enthusiastic. Trying to make friends with a little boy in a stroller who seems to be scared of my class. He's scared of the loud noise that a stick makes. But he's waving at me and trying to smile. He's a very cute little guy.
It's really cold.

8:51 AM
It's sunny and slightly breezy.
Since last night I have had a bad stomach ache going on. It's very uncomfortable.

5:27 PM
It's essentially a lost day. My stomach still has a slight ache to it, didn't get any work done on anything...just played the jaw harp a bit, but that's basically about all. Did read a lot of the Ueshiba Morihei biography.

8:57 AM
It's a beautiful, sunny morning.

I had a weird dream about my old theatre days, but everyone was mad at me. Kevin, Fred, everyone. It seems I walked through a performance that some special "Grand Dame" was watching, when I thought it was just a rehearsal. Oh well.......snooty theatre folk!

11:33 PM
Spent the day with Landon, visiting galleries, meeting a nice woman that works at two galleries, etc. It could be an opportunity for me to show. That could be a very good thing.

10:17 AM
Sunny and cold.
Been up and down several times, trying to wake up, then start reading, only to get tired again. But I think I'm finally up for the day now.

10:39 PM
Yesterday was very busy. Started off by teaching my regular Saturday classes and got pretty angry at several students. A lot of them were acting like idiots and wouldn't stop, even a couple in the adult class. So I left there pretty annoyed. Then I was treated to a late, tasty lunch at a chinese restaurant on Clement, but I can't remember what it was called...thank you Ploo for covering me. Afterword I came home and relaxed a bit before I went and met T. and L. on Haight street and, as usual, I hated Haight street. Too much negative energy over there, and I don't think it's healthy negativity, this is just a street filled with people looking to start shit with anyone for any reason. So I talked them into leaving and we came and hung out here before going to Little Tokyo to eat. Then we came back here and I had to have some pictures taken, something I don't like to do...taking good pics is hard! So by the time we were done with that it was time for them to leave so I escorted them downtown to a BART station. Of course, Saturday night in the city brings out all the really drunk men and women looking for love, and the bus was packed with them...mainly desperate thirty-something's. But I got them downtown without a problem. Met E. and R. downtown and we travelled back here together, so that was nice.
Today I walked with E. and R. to Burmese Star,a place I've been dying to eat at, and it was well worth the wait. It was very delicious. After R. went home E. and I went for a scooter ride, and it was freezing. Went through a bit of a ritzy part of town that I hadn't seen before.
It was really nice and fun to catch up with T. last night. We had a lot of laughs.
I'm needing to get in touch with some people about playing here in April.

8:07 AM
It's sunny and cold.
I'll be heading off to teach shortly.
I'm pretty tired, having trouble waking up.

11:52 PM
Non-stop moving today!!!! Update tomorrow.

2:00 PM
Finally have a fully functioning kitchen again. Turns out one of the breakers died.....but it's fixed. Amazing how stressful not having a kitchen can be!

8:26 PM
Pretty un-eventful day.

11:21 PM
Watched "Revenge is my Destiny" and now I have on "The Crippled Masters".

9:29 AM
It's overcast. looking like it's going to rain.
Been horny the past few nights/mornings....that's good.

4:12 PM
It's raining and hasn't really stopped. I was downtown, got a Thai lunch invite from Ploo, and it was delicious. I ordered Duck Curry....Yum!!! It's a great restaraunt, very hip.
Going to get some more work done...

11:22 PM
Half of the kitchen is dead! I hate electricity crap.

9:28 AM
Partly cloudy and a bit warm. Wish it was colder.
I conked out last night.

11:01 PM
Pretty regular day. I think I'm off to the bathtub to read "Citie of the Red Night".

8:00 AM
It's raining.
Looking forward to hitting up SFMOMA.

9:17 AM
Bumba thought it'd be funny to puke on my art supplies, mainly the paint box and a couple of paint tubes. Very funny Bumba.

11:08 PM
I had quite a day. Got to go to SFMOMA and meet Mr. D. We had a great time, the Joseph Cornell show was amazing, the other shows were a trip, we walked around the city, and then I met up with Brad and his friend Heather, who was very sweet. We chatted for a few hours then they left. It wasn't quite such a simple day but I'm too tired to get into too much writing.

9:44 AM
Grey and breezy.
My ear is ringing off the hook.
Thinking, do I want to get my blood test today? Not really. I feel like there is a cold coming on. I do need to go down there and get my insulin. And I need to pick up my Fast-pass.

1:28 PM
After running around, getting insulin, coffee, and my fast-pass, I came home and finished "Nero" and I quite like it. It does look different from most of my other paintings, if not all of them. It's rare for me to be this loose with the paint, but it was fun and I think I'd like to do this type of painting again soon. A new series is already swirling in my brain inspired by the book "Flesh Inferno:Atrocities of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition" which arrived a couple of days ago. I shouldn't start that series until the new year, however. I have too many unfinished paintings waiting to go. Must......keep...........working!

3:02 PM
I hate holiday's. I have too many people feeling obligated to invite me to their get togethers. Here's how I look at it; if people didn't want to hang out with me on regular days why would they feel like they need to see me for lame holidays? Example...when I lived in small town USA, just a few blocks from my family, I still only saw them on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that was basically it. Now I'm hearing that I have to go back there and spend at least three days, three days in a town I never felt welcomed in anyway. Also, a friend is visitng California and wants to come to SF. This is a person that is a vegan and once told me that he didn't think he could be my friend because I'm not a vegan! Why would I be excited to have a visit when I'm told that type of thing? Holiday's always remind me of some bitterness that I'm carrying around. If my compant isn't desired any other day of the year, then fuck it....I don't need to be included in silly holiday shit.
Hhmmm, weird...I'm getting angry, kind of out of the blue...

4:33 PM
Been working on a painting I'm thinking of calling "Sealing Up the Dead Memories", or something thereabout. Getting close to being finished.

10:33 PM
Didn't get to go to the gym, but it's okay.
SFMOMA tomorrow. I'm excited.
Started another new painting...looks like a Picasso.

10:00 AM
Just woke up!
It's grey and windy.
I'm really horny....

2:51 PM
House cleaning day.
Pretty excited...Bob O. has invited me to a new year's party. I must go, but I can't drink too much; have to be up early the next morning to go see Sifu.

9:09 PM
Mmmmmmm, dark chocloate. Too much of it? Maybe.

11:12 PM
Just watched "Tin Man" on SciFi, and I surprisingly liked it. The evil witch was hot!
Ugh, I need to write better entries...these are so boring.

8:09 AM
I'm up and really out of it.
Sun is up too.
Running my class in two and a half hours.

10:42 PM
Just finished watching "Curse of the Golden Flower" and I loved it. So many heaving Asian bosoms...love it.
I need to write more but I just haven't had a chance.
