Kim's elaborate studio
Thursday, September 28 2000
After work today I rode my bike to Kim's place in Venice to do more work on Kim's computer setup. I usually have a miserable time when I do one of these errands, but tonight wasn't actually all that bad. The fact that Kim's computer is already mostly setup meant that most of the unpredictable bad things that could happen had already happened on earlier such visits.
To help with rent, Kim's Spanish friend Maria has moved in with her, and they're working as a team on the BathtubGirl.com project. Kim is "Bathtubgirl," and Maria is "Dirtygirl." Tonight during a hastily-arranged photoshoot, Maria wore mud on her face to help solidify her identity.
Maria's old boyfriend is a film producer, and he volunteered tonight as photographer. He took a number of still shots as well as some video, but the only thing I could manage to put up on the web was the stills; the video (in MPEG format) was rotated 90 degrees and I couldn't figure how to set it straight with any of the software Kim had. Perhaps one of my readers can suggest some software to help with video production. It looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of it.
One thing that surprised me about Kim's setup was how much equipment she suddenly has. She has two additional PCs, two additional VCRs, a digital camcorder and a brand-new iMac, all apparently courteousy of that guy Chris who owns a Venice camera store. Now, admittedly, most of this stuff is actually on loan, but being able to use it is all that Kim really needs. It's understandable, then, that Kim admitted to kissing Chris. That's the least she can do at this point. (She still won't let him touch her panties, or so she claims.)
Just last week I was all bummed out that after Kim called me to say she had an enormous cell phone bill and that she was totally broke and could I please give her more money. Now, though, she figures she can sell her Volvo (which she barely ever uses), arrange me a second mortgage, and she might even get some investor money for Bathtubgirl. Who knows?
For dinner Maria cooked a sort of Spanish pasta dish with shrimp and corn. It would have been a paella, except it contained no rice.
