16(2003)★6/20 (fri) LOFT RECORD PRESENTS ～WAIT FOR THE BLACKOUT～ at/下北沢shelter w/MORGUE SIDE SINEMA→タイガン→25m.FLOATER→manos
and who am i there to see? you guessed it – the girl band! and with good reason – Belters rock (thank you Yuka!)! a night out with good friends – some risking their friday to go see a band i love – others already fans. before we can say pinkeye we are confronted with a wall of guitar and a vocalist that sounds and looks nothing like any local Japanese band. think hair. think fun. think pixies meets weezer. were we dancing?? oh yeah. (more…)
how sweet you all are! come over and i’ll give you each a BIG kiss! thanks to everyone who took time to read and give us congrats and well wishes – very appreciated. good to know someone else found that message from his grandparents humorous – romanticism and practicality together at last.
i’m back home (wait – where is that?) trying to organize an international move, a vacation for isseki including but not limited to a trip here with excursions to NYC and RI, and other life things that must be dealt with. isseki’s band, 25m. floater got a show at the CMJ music marathon – their first in the USA so we are all very excited about that – if you’re in the area it’s at Club RARE, Friday October 15th.
otherwise i hope to see some of you soon!
love love, heather mary
PS – the next book you should buy “Breathing Fire 2: Canada’s New Poets” – check out the much loved and admired Sheryda Warrener within!
I know I’ve been MIA for a bit now but I’m back and armed with a new medium of communication! I just started with this so it’s all in it’s basic form now but hopefully with some time and patience I will make it my own!
After a rough August full of discovery, the subsequent growing pains between Isseki and I, and my grappling with serious self-worth issues stemming from my new role in life – I arrived in September with a more positive outlook, a stronger relationship and feeling like I was falling in love with Isseki again. I began posting my resume on various job sites and researching the job market again. I found a local organization that provides information and assistance to foreigners of all nationalities living in Japan and began volunteering there. I applied for a job working on their newest issue of “Living in Kobe” book. I did a trial lesson for two different conversation schools in the area. Oh the wonders just leaving the house and feeling like you have options can do for the psyche! (more…)
