[post originally from 6/6/06]:
a friend (Montana VelvetShock) from the ninternet (definition: the various sites on the internet focused on nine inch nails) sent me one of those been-forwarded-forever messages about how to determine what your stripper name would be. my sister was disappointed that her stripper name turned out the same as mine--Sapphire DeepKiss. so she came up with Sugar DazzleThighs.
speaking of verbal fun, my co-worker Suzanne came up with this one during a conversation about kayaking and outdoorsy-ness in which i mentioned that i don't engage in any activity that cannot be performed whilst wearing high heels:
"Kai-whacking [alternative to 'kayaking']: with origins in a little-known Asian martial art, this violent meditation practice incorporates deep breathing and ass kicking. The traditional uniform is best demonstrated in modern culture by the cast of Sex in the City. The technique is usually spontaneous and executed without provocation. Signs that a person is a kai-whacking practitioner: bulldog tattoos, consumption of protein shakes, comfort in high heels."
so here i am blogging again. speaking of blogs, my friend Kanako has a bilingual food blog. when we were in a restaurant in lake chelan over the weekend, she whipped out her digital camera and took photos of the various entrees our group ordered. she's also an incredible cook--she made shrimp toast, katsu, and 2 kinds of sushi rolls for the whole group on the second night.
katsu... or is it don katsu? wait; i thought that was Al Pacino's little-known adopted brother from Japan.
on the writing front, the novel polish is going quite well. my short story was rejected by Glimmer Train just in time for me to overnight it to Zoetrope before they stop taking submissions for the summer. the book i'm reading on how to sell your novel indicates that it takes an average of 10 years to get your first novel published. i'm at 5 years right now--break out the champagne!
maybe now that 6/6/06 is past, Hands of Kali will stay healthy. Kendra stepped on a big steel staple while we were performing at the Vogue (tetanus shot), Magi stepped on a rusty rake at her cabin (tetanus shot, 2 course of antibiotics), and Tayissa cracked her rib (ouch!). i am sick as a dog with what i think might be a sinus infection.
