４００ml分献血してきた。

前評判通り見るからに巨乳の女医が血を抜いてくれてそれなりにウットリする体験だった。巨乳といっても淫らな印象はない。

晴天の様な美貌とそのグラマーさが相俟って、知的な香しさすらも感じる女医であった。

もしあの女医が別の状況、例えばカウンターだけのショットバーとかで臨席に座ったりしたら（酒量にもよるが）間違いなく告白またはプロポーズするだろう。

「あなたは僕の生き血のみならず、心まで採血してしまったのです」

帰り際、採血カード（今は手帳ではないようだ）なるハイテクなものを頂く。

次から次に美女というのは現れる。なかなか充実した一日であった。

Bury this boneTo gnaw on it later, gnawing on the telephone
And ’til then we pray and suspend
The notion that these lives do never endAnd the mealy worms
In the brine will burn
In a salty pyreAmong the fauns and ferns
And the love we hold
And the love we spurn
Will never grow cold
Only taciturn

finally ! I watched this remarkable film on VHS
JEAN-LUC GODARD on Rob Tregenza's
"TALKING TO STRANGERS"(1988)

In the Dialogues section of the 1996 Toronto International Film Festival Jean-Luc Godard was asked to write about a film as part of the "Talking With Pictures" section. He selected TALKING TO STRANGERS and Norman McLaren's BLINKITY BLANK.

"If the 'Cahiers' still existed, and I did too, this is what I would say about Rob Tregenza's first film, composed, we all know, of nine scenes, each made up of one shot ('plan sequences'). Four of these scenes are remarkable and at times astonishing, that is, softly and strongly imbued with the marvelous: The Streets-- the Bank-- The Priest-- The Water Taxi. One of the scenes The Photographer is rather interesting. The rest less so."Well so what? cries the gentle reader. 'Why these mores and lesses?' Because they are the source of the fascination of this wonderful, half-sucesssful film--remember , reader, that in its time we praised Becker's film on Modigliani precisely for its failures. Because here reality walks hand-in-hand with fiction.

The great Levi-Strauss would say: the elementary structures of kinship between fiction and reality. And I would add that fiction, the slut, trips up reality as soon as reality wants to posess her.Theirs is not a heterosexual marriage. Reality and fiction are man and woman at the same time, and each reproaches the other for what she or he is, not for being what he or she is not. And this film only could be made in America, which --as we have known since Giraudoux-- sees an enemy in only that which it resembles-- in its failings. There is a great tradition in solitary America of being in love with reality, from Thoreau through MAN OF ARAN and FACES.

And Rob Tregenza belongs to that tradition-- that of speaking and listening to our daily reality. Not simply of loving life-- not the candid camera, no, a reflective camera.The third scene -The Bank- is in this respect an absolute model that all so-called film schools should show to all their so-called students, to let them see how the horror of invented fiction is redeemed by the grace of an offered reality. The camera continuously gives back what it is taking.

Tregenza's two hands like the Samaritan's- taking and offering in a sort of operation by which haughty fiction is redeemed by the humble poverty of looking and hearing- Oh my Jane Campion, why did you let them drop the piano on you? And that the last -The Art- is a total failure- even more so that the proceeding two -The Bus and The Woman- because in them fiction is divorced from reality and is no longer needing the visible, and above all having to play the whore by tugging at our heart strings like a..., or a....Or instead, we ask the only blind filmmaker, Norman McLaren, to shoot BLINKITY BLANK, and like all wonderful films, it will be the most wonderful of films.

あぁ、もう１２月ですよ！忘年会だのクリスマスだのと鬱陶しい行事満載のファッ禁ディッセンバーですよ！なにが楽しくて、悲しくて、毎年末に繰り返される野郎達、オジサン達との他愛もない会話と飲み。クダを巻けば巻いた分、ドヨ〜ンと酔い醒めの水も美味かねぇ！

最近、近所の郵便局に素敵な女性が勤務してます。その青天の霹靂、新事実に伴い、一昨日UFJを解約してゆうちょ銀行にしました。今年は年が明ける前にあたしから年賀状が届くかもしれませんよ！年が明けてからも届くかもしれませんよ！そう！年賀状なんてどうだっていいんです！要は郵便局に行く切っ掛けですよ！！

でも年賀状出すからには、いけてる年賀状がいいだろう！と思って、今日は仕事の合間にたくさん竜の似顔絵を描きました。ヒョロヒョロと細長いのやら、炎を拭いてるアサマしいのやら、多種多様な竜が作業場の彼方こちらに散乱してます。みなさんどうぞお楽しみに！！

そして私は将来！披露宴の際に「切っ掛けは年賀状でしたァァワワァワァワワァ！！(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ」と言って嗚咽していることでしょう！！アーメン。
