On 05/01/08 I gathered astrological information for the DC Madam who committed suicide rather than do jail time. Jeese louise if she'd have done the jail time she'd have gotten out the age I am now. That's no so old. Then she could have written a book and had a comfortable old age. I just now got it up on a page because I've been working on Fifteen Faces for BH4DO

Bronze the day: 05-05-08 Fifteen faces from 5 "starter faces". Dr. D. Ok's. I still need to get some captions up but I'm still making new face molds off of the last iteration of the 5 runs. Why they are all green? Think of all the web cam demos I did reviewing leaves. I had tons of cane ends, scraps, and sheets of mixed green of different hues. 

Dr. D gave me an arbitrary deadline of two weeks to do 22 heads. Even with using the iterated mold trick it still took more time than I wanted to adjust and change each face. Now I'm thinking that the heads are getting smaller and smaller. I wish I could have kept one of the heads he uses in the series for a size reference.  Maybe I'll write to him and see if he's replaced one of the old heads for one of the 5 he took with him to LA. If he has then maybe he can send me the old heads for head size and neck reference.

Jolly's professor couldn't believe that her neighbor made the graphic for her student stress relief flyer. She had to convince the prof that she indeed has an artist living next door. If you've not seen the graphic here it is.

Jolly has this friend who needs to interview Asian-American's over the age of 50. So I guess I qualify being 58. That's suppose to happen next Wednesday. I guess it has to do with being a post WWII Boomer or something. I'll let you know what was asked of me after the interview.

As an aside, I found an Ayn Rand quote:

“Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I
will tell you his entire philosophy of life. Show me
the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his
valuation of himself….. The man who is proudly certain
of his own value, will want the highest type of woman
he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the
hardest to conquer–because only the possession of a
heroine will give him the sense of an achievement, not
the possession of a brainless slut.” ~ Ayn Rand

That quote was especially significant given my current situation, so I sent it to my better half. Hah, he likes Ayn Rand, so he can hear it from the horses mouth. He didn't say anything about the quote but he showed me extra attention. Mercury in Scorpio, what a PITA, one has to guess what they are thinking.

"The dark side of Mercury in Scorpio is represented by the mistrusting mind, one that holds secrets and fears them at the same time. Communication becomes a means of control, rather than connection. "

I reminded him to eat his supper before it got cold. He's playing EQII, as always, on his new computer, so there's less complaining at least. He said something in jest about "controlling" him. I laughed and said "I gave up on that a long time ago. What I do is plant thought bombs that have a delayed fuse. It explodes later and you think it was your own idea. I manipulate rather than control. I also tell you what I'm doing and that puts a brain scramble on you."  He and Bushyaib were both laughing real hard, because it's true.

It's nice having grown children. Bushyaib and I were laughing about some commercial for KY Jelly, they have a man and a woman brand and when they combine... the implication is that it's a WOWIE experience. I said to Bushyaib, "And when the combine you have glow in the dark genitals. When you have sex it's like a strobe light." and then I went into quick changes in arms and face, going "oooh, eeeh". I got a laugh.

Just got some quotes and links up for Jupiter transits.  Jupiter is going retrograde on the 9th of May, so it'll be an inward focused time. It's a good time to revisit something dead or dying and rejuvenate so looks like a good time to go back to the gym. This time to go because getting healthy is a philosophic matter and not because I want to make myself more marketable.

Bushyaib's girlfriend Amy wants me to teach her how to sew so she can make this outfit. Looks pretty simple to me outside of the thigh high stockings. She can get those from the store.

I just gave her my Singer book on Sewing Lingerie. Publisher: Cy DeCosse Inc 1991 128pp. ISBN-10: 0865732612

She didn't know how to do the little bloomers. I've been explaining to her the technique of "gathering" material.

I think she'll get all sorts of ideas for sewing. She has a great fashion sense and I can sew most grandmas under the table. Who knows this might be one of the products on my product line. Harajuku fashions.
