Show Us Your City: A Walk In Seoul | Creative Cities 2.0
Show Us Your City: A Walk In Seoul | Creative Cities 2.0.
I could say so much, but there are not any words.
Watch the video, follow the link and read the interveiw.
There are many reasons why this city and this boy are so special.
This is one of them.

Love…
“Love, as we often define it, is usually considered to be an exclusive rather than inclusive game. Someone loves you and therefore doesn’t love anyone else. But when you add it up, this usually comes out to a loss, because in our short visits to the planet, in a healthy state of mind, we might want to love everyone who is righteous and true, and to return the love of everyone who touches our hearts, and call that safety and nothing else. For living in the constant fear of loss and betrayal is hardly safety; it is hardly the security we say we seek; it is a setup for total paranoia, but strangely, sadly, it’s called love.”

Universal Love
I have recently surprised myself with how effective I am at being the source of Universal Love. Startlingly effective.
Everything this week has been pointing in the same direction.
And everything will be fine.
Now I have butterflies, so, I’m going to bed.
Merry Christmas!

New Favorite Things
“i just think i’m free” by Danny Abbott.
My new favorite obsession is LOOKBOOK.NU. Also Nerd Boyfriend and We Are Hunted are fine.
I am addicted to attractive blogs. Jeremy Guttman and I spent hours on Skype, fawning over an interior decorating blog.
How terribly and utterly cliche.
In other news, Eddie arrives tomorrow night. I am so excited. I haven’t seen him in many many many months.
I also got photos developed today. I lied when I said I didn’t have a minor tear. I had been saving those films for a year.
Anyway. I’m playing power-cable tag with my neighbour. It’s his turn to charge.

The Most Terrifying Object in All The World
I stood transfixed, unable to look away as the calf’s bulbous, distended eye looked into the depths of my soul. Its shapeless form seemed to defy gravity as its stitched-closed mouth silently mewed for help.
If ever there was an object that heralded an impending apocalypse, it would be this.
It scared me in ways that I never thought possible.
Granted, I had already been rattled by the dead flies in the mineral cabinet, the mutilated carcasses of birds, walls of formaldehyde spiders, live scorpions, centipedes and tarantulas, a gay hedgehog, South American toads being fed live crickets and a large albino python.
What started as a slightly spooky drive through a misty farming valley, complete with shaman huts and mongrel dogs tied to stakes, finished up with a grown woman running from a cabinet of stuffed rats and bats. Which she hadn’t even seen.

Today was a Good Day…
Here was some good and fortunate things that happened today:
- I got to sleep in till 9
- It was a beautiful, sunny, only slightly chilly day
- I walked to Paris Baguette and ate brunch at precisely 11am, the time they start serving “Nicely Prepared Eggs benedict”
- I sat for 3 hours and re-tooled the Red Moon Rising Website
- I went to work an hour early, prepared my body and mind and even did a little stomping
- We watched the video of Thursday morning’s show, and it wasn’t as disastrous as we thought
- My makeup only took 45 minutes to apply
- I had a skinny day and my costume went on very easily, and practically hung off my body
- I got yelled at by the costume designer for being skinny (after being yelled at 1 week ago for being too fat and told to go on a diet, which was after being yelled at 4 weeks ago for being skinnier at opening than I was at the costume fitting)
- We got a full sound check
- The show kicked ass, and the audience was amazing
- I decided to celebrate by going to the Chim Chil Bung (Spa/Sauna) and eating Kim Chi Jjiggae (Kim Chi Stew)
And finally…
- IT SNOWED

Autumn
How I love the Autumn Time.
Pictures of our surprise vacation.
We ended up on a wild goose chase across South Korea.
Visited a beach in the autumn, missed a ferry, took 7 buses, and ended up at a fortress where the first Korean Catholic converts were tortured.
All at the Whim of the Dice.
