Seska for Lovers - Fresh Blog

What's fresh and new in the life and work of Seska Lee.

Meow
08-05-07

Yesterday I went to the vet to see if little Miss Mew was still there and she was. In fact, they have been taking care of her since November and were quite surprised by my request to adopt her. She was rescued from the streets and since then has been well taken care of by the staff at the clinic. Still, she needed a home as they have other priorities and cannot keep all the abandoned cats that are dropped off with them. So now she comes to live with me and James!

In preparation of her arrival I have been doing a massive clean-up. I got rid of all the dust bunnies in the bedroom and cleaned up underneath all the furniture. I expect that the cat will be doing plenty of exploring and I do not want her to eat anything dangerous. This dusting though has not been good for my allergies and asthma. My nose has been running and my breathing a bit laboured. But it is something that needed to be done regardless. It seems I just needed the right excuse and getting a new cat certainly is a motivating one for me. I am so thrilled.

she is rather thin and petite

was hard to have her be still - she was rubbing against us

no flash - a liitle blurry & dark

Live Webcam Show Tonight!
08-05-06

It is the first Tuesday of the month so I will be wearing my glasses for tonight’s live webcam show on SexCamCentral. Speaking of which, I think I need to head over to my optometrist. My vision is not as sharp as I am used to. I might be needing a new prescription. I also want to ask about I eye strain from computer work as well as irritation caused from wearing false eyelashes during my burlesque performances. They might have a role in my current vision issues. Best to get a professional medical opinion.

The Monday Mix
08-05-05

I performed on Saturday evening with my Team Burlesque and Uncalled For friends - Miss Sugarpuss, L. D'iablo, Zack & Jimmy - Rufus was sick :-(. It was part of a Montreal Fringe Festival fundraiser. The turn out was small, but I heard it was like that in most venues that night. We were up against game 5 of the Flyers-Canadiens series. The Habs lost, but the crowd was supportive and people knew that the players played hard. You cannot ask for more than that – especially given that when the season started we were not at all favoured to finish first in our division.

In other burlesque news, I am preparing my application package for the Toronto Burlesque Festival. I may actually submit two numbers – one sexy and one funny. It depends on whether I find the time to add a little extra polish to them. I will be rehearsing this week and then filming my numbers next week. I figure once I look at the footage I will have a better sense of things.

I will also be submitting a trio number with Miss Sugarpuss and L. Diablo. I love working with them as they inspire me to push my limits (they are both trained dancers) and to work on my strengths (comedy). Our group number will have a bit of everything in it (dance, humour, and sexiness) and is inspired by our love of Sesame Street. We will be rehearsing in on Friday, but before we tape I do need to get a few costume pieces together.

I really enjoyed Iron Man. James did too. It is really quite a good superhero movie. It has good character development, not too many one liners, a whole bunch of sarcasm and some amazing action sequences. The suit really did come alive and seem so real. I also enjoyed the use of futuristic technology that did not seem to far advanced.

It had been a while since I had been to the movies. I was quite excited to go and was looking forward to the whole experience – even if it is an over priced one. So I got myself a drink and a bag of popcorn and some liquorice. It seems my appetite has changed because between James and I we only ate half of it. Even though we did not eat all of our treats, afterwards I wanted to complete the evening out experience so we went out to a restaurant for supper. My choice was a new Ethiopian restaurant in the downtown area. We ordered way too much food, but that was OK because it made for a terrific lunch the next day. I just love Ethiopian food!

So I got something special in the mail today. It is a statement about my student loan. I get these records 4 times a year to keep track of my progress. It looks like I have finally finished paying it off! I am so thrilled. Partly, because it is a big relief to have absolutely no debt now, but also because James and I had discussed the time of getting a new cat for our family and he suggested we wait until my loan was paid off. So the day has come and I am hoping we can get a certain Miss Mew from an adoption center. We saw her on Friday before going to the movie and I am hoping she is still available

Crossing My Fingers
08-05-01

What a week!! So many appointments and meetings!! I had thought I could take it easy, but it looks like tomorrow is the only day for that. It has been non stop go since 8am Monday. Tomorrow will be a day of calm in comparison.

While I don’t have any business to take care of, I do have housework to tackle (yes, the laundry continues to glare at me). I’d also like to spend some quality time with James. I feel like we have been seeing each other only in passing. He tends to get out of bed around the time I have to jump out the door. The exception being we watched Survivor tonight before I rushed off to a meeting for The Wawa Show (stands for We Are Women Artists and is a fabulous show featuring female singers, dancers, comedians, actors, musicians, etc… - not Lilith Fair style though – it is a cabaret and is a bit saucy and such).

So, I am crossing my fingers and wishing on a falling star for an easy-peasy day for Seska.

Question
08-04-30

I have started working on some little video blogs that will feature me talking about some of my quirks. Before I can put them together I need a title for them. Basically, I share a personal observation or demonstrate the way I do something. The working name for the project is way too long and has no pizzazz - things you might not halve know about Seska.

I need your help. Do you have any suggestions for the title of these blogs?

Tilt A Whirl
08-04-28

Oh my goodness. Where did the week go? I feel a little lost as I try to figure out what I did with myself. The apartment is a mess and I feel like I have not had anything close to my normal routine. Perhaps the last entry says a bit on my state of mind. It started with having a bit of a flash from the past which got me to thinking of a few things. Then it was busy, busy time for me work-wise (a website design project for a client). Throw in a late night out that hit me hard (cute, cute boy and lots of smooching) and a Team Burlesque meeting (great summer plans ahead of us) and I was in the midst of a whirlwind. I kept hold of my hat and made it through.

Now I have a semi-busy week ahead of me and I want to get back to my routine. It grounds me. Granted, I am not off to the best start. Today has been an unusual one. I had to skip yoga. This morning was the only time I could book for a very much needed 4 hour shoot for a proper burlesque portrait (I need it to apply to festivals as well as for press opportunities). When I got home I was beat so I took a quick nap. Next, I baked some cupcakes for a ladies networking thing I am going to tonight. Now, I am here blogging before I head to the bank to deposit my student loan payment and grab a couple for things for tonight.

What will tomorrow hold? Well, I do have a lunch meeting with a potential website design client, but beyond that it will be same-old same old: blogging in the AM, yoga later on and then my much loved weekly webcam show (some people don’t get it how much James and I enjoy these shows).

Not So Objective & A Whole Lot of Defensive
08-04-23

I did not realize it until later, but I went wearing my armour. It seems to be something I do often. It is not because of any in the flesh, to my face, experience, but because of the things that get said behind my back and on the web. The specific and the general. The personal and the societal. Mainly things that get said about whores. It makes me defensive. The chip on my shoulder grows. I try to explain myself. Using words can be a struggle. I overanalyze some aspects of my behaviour and simplify others. I am not sure if I make sense.

More in the members-area (stuff that is a wee bit more comfrotable to share in that semi-private space)...
