After reading more of Naked, I am beginning to feel more and more inadequate with my postings on the bastish net. Of course the main reason for making the site was just for practice with some "cutting edge" technologies that clients don't want on their site because it will look different in different browsers. Of course no one reading this should know what I am talking about since no one would even give the site a second glance if they were using Netscape 4. I also noticed that since I moved to the new system, it has fallen apart in Mozilla browsers and IE on Mac. I will get around to fixing it one of these days.
Anyway, as I was saying, the reason for making this was only to practice and keep mom and dad happy so they wont be able to complain some day to the nursing home staff that I never did anything for them. I never really expected anyone else to read. Naked however is a collection of very blog-like autobiographical stories by David Sedaris. I guess I can't really feel like I have a chance to compare... after all, some people seem to think he "just may be the funniest man alive". I must say, I would have to agree. I have laughed in the train more in the last three days while reading his book than I have since I arrived in Tokyo three (or four?) years ago.
As I was writing this, I was struck with a thought... He must have an interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air! Sure enough, he does... in fact, he is a regular on one of the NPR programs which I will have to start listening to. He has a whole list of interviews actually. I would list them all here, but I think it would be best for your to follow these simple directions.
- Go to the NPR Fresh Air website
- Copy David Sedaris' name -- David Sedaris -- from this page.
- Paste the name into the box above the "Find A Guest" button.
- Press the "Find A Guest" button.
I found later that there is also a list of other interviews here.
I was pretty disappointed today to find that the nudie lady drawing club was canceled today. None next week either. When I told Tomoe she sympathized with me, realizing that that is one of the things I look forward to most every week. Not because of the nudie ladies of course, but because I really love drawing.
It just so happens that the club I got hooked up with draws nudie ladies. This in turn causes me to draw nudie ladies in my free time. I suppose one day when I master eh nudie lady and can draw in the club with the confidence that my drawings are the best of anyone there, then I can move on to drawing other subjects while at home.
Of course there is something interesting about drawing the forbidden nudie lady of course... as opposed to a chair or an apple that is. To tell the truth, I have begun to grow a little bored with the typical nudie lady poses every model does every week. If she had clothes it might spruce it up a bit. Having a clothed lady drawing club would also save me a lot of time when drawing at home. I find that as I search through the nudie lady sites for a good picture to practice with, all the pop-ups and windows that refuse to close have a habit of crashing my computer. Rebooting it only twice each day could cause me to loose around 36 hours each year!
