It is Monday early afternoon in March in Portland, raining. I am sitting in the café. A black mom and her daughter, both in purple jacket, walking out of a purple car, under a purple umbrella, probably going to a nearby restaurant. The shade of purple is close to a shinny electric violet, quite unique and obvious on the street. Individuality.
Last night I watched a short video on Youtube about a transformer from Texas. A gay person who removed more than 30 different part from her body, includes her ears. She will eventually become a dragon lady. So brave as an individual who determine to be who she is. Coming from a different culture I am always amazed by how much freedom a person can have in the society and in community.
Xijinping just got full votes to continue his position. I am quite curious about what those few thousands of votes mean and what they intensions behind them are. I am in the middle ground when talking about politic positions, because I don't know much about the political people and facts in both countries. But seeing news will sort of start wondering about the behind the scene stuff.

my child is sleeping next to me. her dyed purple hair makes me jealousy, I couldn't seem to bleach off the black in my hair. Will it also stop time putting gray hair on?
I walked in to the studio this morning. My boss asked, "how's your weekend?" I responded, "good, hmm, what did I do?" Later on, I realized I actuarially did a lot. Interview, gallery sitting, catch-up with Una, artist talk, deinstallation, farmers market, open studio, pumpkins patch, ended the weekend with a Thai dinner of fake beef rice noodles.
