Things to do in Simotuki…
And just like that… October becomes November and autumn is really here. My backyard is a sea of red, orange and yellow leaves which everyday fall like a peaceful silent rain under bright azure skies, and with the remnants of Hurricane Noel heading for my shores this weekend, we’re likely to lose a few more, as well as some of those old tree limbs off the weeping willow on the left side of the house. It’s gotten cold here too; all my outdoor plants are now comfortably inside the house and the winds which whip and howl around the chimney are lulled away by the sound of the furnace kicking on in the middle of the night as I pull the blankets up tight around my neck and close my eyes as I drift back into the woolly embrace of sleep. This is my favorite time of year.
So baseball season is over and I’ve been going thru a few days of withdrawal; reading sports columns, blogs, watching parades, and thinking about my boys of summer and their fantastic season, but it’s time to move on from baseball for now, because I have no intention of turning geishaland into a sports blog even tho I really do enjoy writing about the topic – it’s time to get things back to some kind of lazy geisha normal around here, whatever that is, and I’ve actually got a whole lot to work on as well as some really cool ideas I’ve been wanting to explore too.
It seems as tho everytime I take a few days away from cyberia my inbox fills up with some really fantastic emails from people who read here – and the most predictable one was from my friend Amy.
“Hey girl! Now that the Red Sox won the World Series, again… lol… can we expect you to get off your ass and write some of those reviews? “
sigh…. Yeah, I’ve been really shitty about getting those done, I know. But it gives us all something to look forward to, right? But I’ve got the following products to review:
The LELO GIGI – a great g-spot vibrator that I’ve used about four times so far and it’s totally amazing too! I can’t wait to work on writing that one! (Review here!)
Two glass dildos from Phallix – which are simply to die for! I love glass products and these two didn’t disappoint in any way!
The Soju Sugar – (review here) A silicone dildo with such a natural and amazing shape and texture that it feels like its part of you! Completely yummy and is one of my new favorites!
This vibrating cock ring thing that they sent for me to try with Jeff – it’s a lot of fun but we have to keep working on using this one. Maybe I can get Jeff to write that for me, we’ll see.
And what else…?
Oh yes, for Black Label Adult Shop I’ve got the LELO Elise to review (review here) which is probably one of the best personal massagers and pleasure products I’ve ever used. I’m so taken by the entire LELO line (NEA review here). They really are the best in pleasure products for the money out there, (Interview with Bliss of Black Label Adult Shop here).
Then another friend wrote me and asked, “Hey… what every happened with that HBO thing you were working on?”
Oh right. I was asked to review and do some write ups on the new HBO show Tell Me You Love Me, and even tho I have my standard good excuse about being all caught up in baseball, the biggest reason I haven’t done anything with that is because I really don’t like the show, and soon I’ll be writing about why. Then, I have a company which makes the HPV test writing me wanting me to write about that, which I agreed to do, but I so hate being under the gun to do anything – so when I get to it I’ll write about that too.
Then I got a really sweet email from a woman who said, “I’ve been reading your site lazy geisha for a while, and I just wanted to thank you. You’ve really helped me become comfortable with my own sexuality.” – and another email I received recently from a guy says, “Ya know, lazy geisha should be required reading for every male, probably around their 18th birthday…come to think of it girls too…that would put a lot of marriage counselors out of business.”
These kinds of emails really make me smile because they remind me why I took my journal in the direction I did, and why I walked away from the dysfunctional narcissism I felt myself surrounded with last year. Being able to help someone else is the greatest gift and the greatest compliment I could ever receive. I’m truly touched and humbled that I’ve had such a positive effect on other people’s relationships.
So what else….?
Oh yes! Almost forgot! Just before the baseball post-season started I did an interview with Suki from OhMiBod, (OhMiBod Review Here), which I’m really excited about and will be putting the finishing touches on in the next few days, (interview here). Plus, I’ve got a couple of other interviews lined up which should be just as interesting!
And finally, I’ve been wanting to wander back into some erotic writing, but I want to do things a little differently than I’ve done in the past. I’m going to create an area in geishaland for this new material, but it will be semi-private, meaning that you’ll need a password to access that area. When the time comes there will be instructions on how to gain access, but after giving this some thought, I think this is the right decision for me and for my work.
So, it’s Friday! Yay! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for reading!
Aishiteru wa!
Busy, busy, busy.
Life can get entirely too busy at times can’t it, gorgeous?
I love the Fall too, it’s so incredibly beautiful even here where the leaves remain stubbornly green–sigh).
I think making your erotic work semi-private is a wonderful idea. Erotica, particularly when it’s personal, is a very intimate thing and far too many people out here in cyberia just don’t respect that.
Mwah, my love!
