Guess what I did for Earth Day? Bought a bike!! Yay Craigslist! A nice couple were moving and unloading a lot of stuff, one of which happened to be a lovely teal 18 speed mountain bike for only $25. I've been wanting a mountain bike, but obviously not wanting to spend the money. This was perfect, if not difficult to fit into the corolla, lol ( Read more... )

Dear guy in SUV on the freeway: You have to use your turn signal on the freeway when changing lanes. Have to. Or you will kill us all. :P ( Read more... )

Karen and I just saw Art School Confidential, and loled muchly. I think it's probably a lot funnier if you've been to art school because I remember those people! It's a dark bizarre murder mystery comedy but man... you can tell the author actually went to art school. The students, the critiques, the "hallway gallery", "who's the weirdo?" of the ( Read more... )

I'm going to have to give it up and draw Kali Maa manually. I love the tablet for coloring, but apparently I need pencil to paper to draw. :P This is not working ( Read more... )

I got my bindi redone. :) This guy was very experienced in facial tattoos, and basically said that the detailed lotus needed to be in black in order to keep it's detail over time. So after much discussion, we did redo the lotus in black (which is really a dark greyish blue over time). Cool thing is that the blue can be seen behind it as a kind ( Read more... )

Wow, weekend! Ok, so firstly the expo was a lot of fun. :) Walking canvases everywhere, beautiful stuff. I also found a guy *with* some lovely facial tattoos (sadly, I didn't get a pic) who's local and will retouch my Bindi proper for me. I've got an appointment with him on Sat. The Expo was named Hell City, which is a not so subtle ( Read more... )

Mrrf. I can't wait for my skin to be normal again. I love my tattoo, but I am in the itchy unpleasant shedding stage deep. I can't get a good picture of it, so nothing photographic to post, but trust me... it's not pretty. Amarin suggested I save the flaking blue skin and try to sell it on e-bay as genuine smurf skin, lol. Karen and I just ( Read more... )

It's officially scabby and flaky, which is really odd. I'd take a picture, but you can't really tell by looking at it. It's more of a texture problem. I also have little bits of dead skin coming off like you do with a sunburn. Little bits of blue skin... It's pretty fascinating! I put the lotion on it about 4 times a day, as instructed and the ( Read more... )

I'm really glad the tattoo was scheduled for the day after the election. It was something to look forward too becides a bleak economy, the rape of the environment, and the further blurring of the line between church and state. It was also a marvelous distraction ( Read more... )
