Sunny Side Down

7 stitches on the forehead
+ 4 books (essays)
+ 3 liters of icy cold tomato juice
+ 2 sq. meters of the outside world looking upside-down

= My 2006 Obon summer holidays


(do people still say "sunny side up" eggs??
just wondering)


五月蝿かった ・・・　「八月蝉」かった

Nicci mo Satchmo

I'm stuck
Can't move a step forward

So I sing,
"You say tomato..."


「二進も三進も」って
これもラテンぽくない？　ない？

こんなこと言ってる場合じゃないんですけど

Ichi-ca Bacci-ca

I think I'll give it "one or eight"
take a chance
not too hard but
in a junko-ish manner

イチカバチカ　ってラテンな響きだから
訳さなくても通じそうじゃない？
通じないかな・・・

などと　月曜の朝から考えている

Rhapsody in Blue

Sorting out old project documents,
my eyes instinctively caught
his blue-ink, hand-written comments
on a draft paper.
It was so artistic
I just couldn't throw it away


[手書き文字]

ザザっとしてて、けどトメ・ハネのメリハリはある大きめの強い字が好きで

具体的には　姉の字と　あと

「裏窓」の
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?"
あれ、彼の直筆ですよね？　

・・・ジミー、なぜそこまで素敵。

Enjoy the Show!

Yes I did!



...So how did you know it's my "words of wisdom" that I secretly say to myself every time something important is coming, either fun or serious, like a big meeting: I breathe in and go, "Okay Junko, enjoy the show!" or "Showtime, lady!"

I know it's just ridiculous. But at least for me it works.
