an ending up of friends

yamamanamaI met a Brazilian woman who looked like (Russian, Wildlife Center) Jessica. For what it's worth, Brazil is 2 per mille Jewish and there are 200,000 people of Russian ancestry in Brazil. I know most of Latin America flirted with fascism or quasi-fascism at one point or another but I don't know how many of them had anti-Jewish policies. Bolivia, obviously.
One woman reminded me of Gabriella, only very very blonde. Her hair was in helices and braids and she wore a floral necklace. Another woman kinda reminded me of Gabriella except she wore glasses and her hair was in red-orange and brown dreadlocks under a gray cap. I drew a woman with hyperfine violet braids.
Keegan asked me what the odds of encountering him and Nadine. Nadine's pretty distinctive. Last time I saw Keegan, he was wearing a jacket and hat. Nadine had neon orange in her hair the last time I saw her. It's a silvery pink now but she still has those beaded chain things on her glasses, along with a choker with a heart pendant.
Keegan has a orb of twisted wire with something inside hanging from a cord around his neck.
They were both going to the MFA to see the Hokusai exhibit.
Nadine lived across from someone who kept ducks and raccoons unlocked the cages and then closed the doors as if to blame vandals.
The only new exhibit is British pastoral to art deco landscapes and portraits of the 20th century. The most noteworthy was a stylized art deco World War I dogfight, a pool with squiggly things in it, a woman in a black dress drawn in crayon, a print of machines in hyperreal color.
There are rooms I've never seen. Listen: there's a corridor off to the side of the downstairs cafe that has five adire cloths from Nigeria, a few with words that include a backwards S for some reason and the occasional six pointed star with a tiny circle inside, and a painting made in the 80s of two people, one wearing pink pants, and one looking very 80s, looking at a painting of a sheep. They're not quite forbidden places as they are simply neglected ones.
Backwards S, by the way, does exist in Unicode and is used as a tone indicator in Zhuang, which is not spoken in Nigeria. Yoruba has a backwards E and Dinka has a backwards c and some of the African languages throw in Cyrillic and Greek letters.
At the MFA, there was a woman with purple hair and a woman with violet and teal hair, a woman with a necklace of Sierpinski triangles.
A woman just started Station Eleven. I'll probably read that right after I finish The Goblin Emperor. It sounds like it's perfect for August.
burning question: could a drop bear eat a bunyip?
