This is old news for anyone who's been paying attention to both our journals, but I haven't updated in a while: Mom cashed in her return ticket back to the U.S. - she likes Korea and is planning to stay there for the foreseeable future.
I've been keeping myself good and busy. My birthday was on the 11th, a Sunday. That morning I went out to breakfast with Caw (also referred to as C. or Mary Casey - I can't recall which names I've used for her here, before). We were talking about going out to see the meteor showers, later that evening, but she stood me up because she ran into another friend and _forgot_all_about_me_ - can you imagine!? Someone forgetting about me!? Well, I guess you know I have been giving her a hard time about this, since.;) But, I guess I've about forgiven her, because she explained she'd thought at the time that she was laying groundwork for a romance with this other friend.;) Only now it's looking like she's out of luck in that department, so I'm beginning to feel a little bad about harassing her.
Monday the 12th, Eor and I went to Cambridge to visit a friend ... Now, I really want to draw a charcter sketch of our friend, and as she reads my journal, perhaps she'd be willing to post and let me know if I can, and what nickname she'd like if I do so? How about "Dr. Dance"? I always hesitate to talk about friends too much, in case they don't want their names out there on the Net. I will say that now she's done school and moving to Paris we wanted to spend some time with her before she goes. I hope that's a bare enough outline for now.
Tuesday the 13th we went to Southport, Maine, which is the middle of nowhere, to visit a friend of Eor's, who helped him work on our car. In return, I painted half of one of the eves of their house. Later they took us for a motorboat tour of the Boothbay area, and we picked up their kids at camp with the boat. So pretty - lots of rich people's 'cottages' (some of them quite large houses, actually) on the little islands and shore. There's a hotel there on the shore where I think we were told President Kennedy stayed.
I don't remember what I did on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday besides work. Sunday night our friend from Cambridge came up to spend the night, and we went to a strip club. Lots of fun! :) We urged her to get a lap-dance, and the first girl she picked apparently didn't want to do a lap-dance for another woman and just never came over to us, but she found another who was quite friendly and chatty. As we were driving home, busy critiquing the way they've changed this club since the last time we were there (and I must remember to update my webpage reviews), Eor managed to run a red flashing traffic-light, and of course the only other car on the road was a cop.:P $95 fine.:P Still, I suppose it could have been worse. I almost thought I was going to see Eor's face get smushed up against the hood of the car at one point.
Cop [holding up a black gloved finger in the dark night, backlit by headlights and flashers]: "Can you see this finger?"
Eor [always complete and truthful]: "I can see the edge which is lit."
He said he got a look at the hood while he was signing the ticket thingy, and they had face-prints all over it in the road dust. Our friend said they probably made those just to scare people.:)
August 19th, Monday morning, we took our friend to breakfast at Becky's and gave her the quicky tour of the Old Port, which is really unsatisfying. Really one should have plenty of money and all day, or even two days, so you can pop into all the stores, have snacks at the coffee shops, eat lunch and dinner, and go bar-hopping. *shrug* Maybe some other time - she just got news she will be back in the states in November.:) And Monday afternoon she had to get on the bus back to Boston.
