virtual gift

:)

didnt know you could do that

all done for now

got home a little while ago.
2 visits to SFO in less than 12 hours.
and neither trip was for me.
not for 11 days yet.


Brother's Korean BarBQ dinner with Jon, sfracerx, fd_midori, kippiepoo, and Simon & Nigel from Libidex last nite! yum yum yum. Then took the two brits over to the airport for their midnight flight to Thailand.
got back to the hotel to hang with Kip while i packed. kippiepoo had his flight back to Atlanta this morning so I dropped him off on the way home. we didn't make it to the wrap party last night. didn't really know where it was actually.

hungry. and need to collate my memories of this weekend.

the rain today sucks. yesterday was really nice though!

sf fetish ball weekend Thurs/Fri past

ok
what can i remember...?
after leaving fd_midori's place
(sfracerx missed seeing my hangover)
drove up to the hotel. i was just dying to check in and get off of my feet for a bit. i intended to pay the extra bit of cash and valet my car after the bellhop removed all my bags. i wanted to check in and then stumble upstairs for a rest and a bath.
well, checking in wasn't as smooth as it should have been so dante_posh helped me out there instead of having me chase down the event coordinators and figure things out about the room and some sort of $500 cash deposit for just-in-case.
oh and of course, there was no bellhop, nor a valet parking attendant.
the was a trolley cart so i got to do the honors.

as expected, my room was quite bijou. tho i wonder how the hell mistress_sandra, HaraldWilfer, & Tina were going to share the room together had they actually come to San Francisco.

kellylind and alexandrial had all ready arrived and stopped by MrS/MadameS to pick up the HWdesign shipment which was a large and fucking heavy box. (cost almost 350euro to ship over). I met up with them and Scar over at their hotel to start shooting as many of the pieces as we could fit into. Then I got to take the box back with me to my hotel in order to prep for the Gallery night. Tried the hotel restaurant. not bad. mussels in pasta.

Simon from Libidex decided on my houndstooth HouseofHarlot outfit (pants with braces, tie, hat) for me to wear. Had to tape of the boobs since we're back in the states. simple and easy. i was so tired. but anyways, jumped into a cab with Simon, Nigel, dante_posh and her friend Darla. Gallery show was fun. Easy. A little on the sparse side but no stress. I appeared in images shot by Paige White (3), kellylind, stevedietgoedde and the image that PerryGallagher auctioned off (emilymarilyn looking like she's going down on me). I didnt notice if Ken Marcus or MichaelBlue used any of our images. I guess that's why Paul announced to the guests that most of the models in the images were in fact, just 'Kumi with different wigs on'. Of course, it's Amrita that has the crazy wigs. CharlyB won the PerryGallagher piece. A bunch of people, too many to mention. Birthday came around at midnight. Drank a bit of JD, got bday wishes, kissed zille then back to the hotel.


An easy Friday morning. Tried to have breakfast at the hotel. too bad they dont do a spread like them hotels in Germany. ate half a bagel and that sucked. dante_posh came up to my room with me to try on her latex from HW (as well as check out and try on some of the other girls'. I set aside that day to rest and do nothing but that didnt really get to happen. wanted to nap but food was needed so me n Posh cruised up the hill to grab some grub at the NobHillGrill. alexandrial hooked me up with her buddy Michael to be my assistant and he arrived at 4 with roses for my birthday and to receive the girls for their fittings. msmarina came by and we got her into her corset dress and face harness. Since puremeow wasn't coming to the party that night, I told her to just skip the fitting since traffic would be the suck. EdenWells was on her way from Los Angeles with IanRath but they arrived just in time to check in and then get ready for my BdayDinner happening at 1930 that evening. Barely time for a nap.

Walked over to Aji Yoshi with Eden, Ian, Michael (assistant dude), dante_posh. We were joined by Laura & Amy from Vex, audiblecell, and soon after alexandrial, kellylind, msmarina, fetishflame/Nova & Atticus, Amrita, and finally Simon & Nigel. Sonny Black, Damiana, & Isabella Sinclaire called but couldn't make it. The rest of the people flaked out but the numbers ended up coming out perfect for the 2 large tables we had. Luckily the resto didn't charge me for the missing guests.

Laura brought me a KumiDoll with a replacement head. Dressed in latex. really cute. oh and her hair was all ripped out.
Simon & Nigel got me a gift that came in a pretty pink box ~ an Agent Provocateur box. wheee! knickers and plastic pasties w/red bows. Now i need to find a reason to wear them.

Back to the hotel after getting stuffed. change into latex. AtsukoKudo pink rose outfit. Hell getting a cab but we finally made it. drank a bit. whole lotta ppl on LJ were there... misscon, darenzia, mistralmadriiax being dirty, sissystck, ivy_red, joelledirty, audiblecell, msmarina, kippiepoo punkythecat being very dirty, sokkmonkey, corruptmorals, fierce_couture, gelt_guy, allenfaulkner, danarama, grovesphoto, fetishflame, charlottelang, photobatx, misscon, piakaamos, misscon, spanksonic_miko, metamistress, redstickman... ugh. i know i'm missing a bunch. hell, then there were all the people foreign to LJ land as well. HAH. More bday wishes ensued. A couple more shots of JD were had, more kisses with zille and then back to the hotel because we knew Sat would be busy.

ok. breaking down now.

i'm getting a laptop
i know i want a mac

i will get one before the month is out.
that's certain (leave for the EU march 31)

suggestions ?
i dont need anything fancy but i don't want a clunker that will be obsolete by the end of next year.
(of course, that doesn't really hold much water considering my now finally dead puter is from like 1993).

oh and what's the dif between a powerPC and IntelCore processor?

looking at refurbished powerBooks on the apple.com site.
wondering if those are a bit too much or maybe just right?
looking at iBooks.
wondering if those are a bit too little or maybe just right?
MacBookPro
guessing too much prolly?

what's it for?

email, blab on message things, etc
need to deal with my website stuff

i keep lots of images. need space.
