Has it really been 4 months since my last update? Sheesh! All I can say in my defense is that I’ve been super chatty on twitter. You can follow me @tatsumi.
So, to wrap up the last 4 months…
- I stopped doing Freelance Graphic Design and started my own company with my girlfriend. Soulhuntre and Kimi are both super supportive - Yay poly!
- My very good friend and leather-uncle passed away. I miss him lots.
- My mom and I went to Disney World in November for a few days and I actually had a pretty good time at the park and with my family.
- I had a nice 35th birthday last month and good holidays considering all the stress that comes with them.
- I just got back from a short vacation in Arizona where I visited my grandparents and loved the warm weather.
- Shortly, girlfriend and I will head to Texas for the National Task Force’s Creating Change conference in Dallas.
- And I’m working my guts out trying to get this company off the ground. Given the current economic situation, we’re doing okay but not as well as we could/should be.
That’s about it! Look for another update in the summer. LOL!

I have 2 posts in draft stage, about Leather Retreat and TESFest, just waiting for me to finish them. I’ll get around to it eventually.
In the meantime, I thought you all would like to know that the formerly-nameless-LGBTQ-talent-agency has been named PhinLi Bookings, LLC. You should check them out on twitter @PhinLi.
Wednesday morning, I made myself a protein shake and tried to ignore the nausea that had been coming and going for the past 2 weeks. A few hours later, I started hiccuping.
I’ve dealt with bouts of hiccups since high school and usually they go away on thier own after a few hours to 2 days. The longest I had them was during my first stint at college where they lasted for 4 days and only went away when I got muscle relaxers from the nurse on campus at which point I slept for 2 day straight.
Today marks day 3 of my battle with the synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF). I have an appointment with my doctor at 2:30pm this afternoon. If you want to see some of the crazy things I’ve done to myself over the last three days, click the More link. Continue reading ‘Hiccups’

This year, instead of going to Dark Odyssey Summer Samp in September, I’m going to attend Dark Odyssey Leather Retreat during the last week of June. I’m a little apprehensive about going by myself, but I’m also really excited! I don’t have any play dates or sex dates set up yet but I do have a line on some cuddle time and am looking forward to a private Cigar party with some great people. Plus I’m working a ton in registration so I’ll get to meet a lot of folks as they arrive – I’m sure I’ll be able to set something up if I feel like it 
I had big plans for today (there are 3 town street fairs within 20 miles of my house and 1 is a gay pride celebration) but it’s gloomy, rainy, damp, humid and kinda yuck outside. Soulhuntre, Kimiko and Seraphin are coming over anyway (because they’re great family and I’d kill them if they bailed) but now I’m not sure what to do with them when they get here. Meh. I should probably just put on an extra layer and drag everyone out as planned. I’m probably just being sullen and moody for no good reason. <shrugs> I’m like that sometimes.
I miss seeing my non-leather-family. I’d like to schedule some catch up time with those of you I dont’ see often. Please email me and let me know if you want to get together (for coffee, dinner or a date night) and when you’re free.
Ed. Note: We DID go out as planned, the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. I was just being a ninny and that cleared up after about 30 minutes of outdoors and sunshine.
If you come to the site to read this blog, you’ll notice a few new things. Yesterday, I replaced the header image and added a new page. Today, thanks to Viviane’s Blogroll, I’ve updated my links list to point at the sites I think are worth a look.
Did you know that NYC’s 2009 LGBT Pride March is Sunday June 28, 2009? I think I might march this year. Anyone else plan to walk with TES?
Not that I’m a big political animal, but I feel the need to share the good news in Iowa today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30433846/
Crazy that IOWA is more progressive than most of the East Coast, but there it is.

Personal.
A lot has changed about me since I was a co-ed. Some good and some not-so-good. There is some seriously personal, seriously heavy shit behind the cut. You have been warned… Continue reading ‘When I was in college…’
Speaking of getting out more often, I’m actually going out tonight to a friend’s birthday party in the city. I’ll be back home tomorrow evening or Thursday morning. Gotta love that warm weather
Last month I finally bit the bullet and quit my day job. They had been making my life hell for over 20 months and at the prompting for my friends and family, I finally told them where they could shove it – in a very professional way, of course. Even still, it felt pretty good to be rid of them.
Now, I’m doing some freelancing, working on my physical self (diet & exercise) and enjoying being home with my zoo.
Today I’m heading to NYC for a quick meeting and then to a ‘pick-up-for-women’ seminar being hosted by a scene friend.
I’m hoping to get out more now that my work situation isn’t draining all of my energy. We’ll see! Anyone doing any fun scene stuff in the next few weeks?
