Day

[curgoth]

(I meant to post this last night, but I fell asleep instead)

Today has been a good day.

I finally got my breakfast out. I ate too much, but I got my damned wheat cakes at last.

Then shopping. A new VCR was got. I also broke down and bouhgt myself an ipod. Not the 60 GB photo ipod I'd been looking at, but a "previously opened" 40 GB ipod, which does everything I wanted, and leaves some money to seed the tattoo fund. It also gives me time to finish my research for the tattoo I want. Depending on time, money and health, I'll likely get the ink late summer, or somewhere close to my birthday. If you happen to know of any good sources for norse art featuring ravens, let me know.

I also picked up enough booze for a partial rejuvenation of the bar, including 5 bottles of wine that I'm reserving for the wine party, when ever that happens.

I've actually got the artist picked out already; I'm pretty attached to Daemon and Leah at Urban Primitive. I prefer to do as much of the design work myself as possible though - it's a pretty personal process for me, so I want to have as much of the detail work figured out beforehand.

ahhh totally understood. I'm very attached to Cassie, Glenn, and Mic at Studio 42. However, I can't draw for shit, so I'll go in and say "Cassie I want this" and she'll sit down with me to sketch it out until it's right. She's faaaabulous. She's done Marie's tatoos, and I haven't had her actually sketch anything for me because I'm that indecisive right now. But I've seen her sketched work for Marie and it's been wonderful and exactly what she wanted. And Cassie won't start to ink until you're happy with the drawing.

I'd love to be able to draw up exactly what I want, but again, can't draw for shit. Give me lights, gels, etc in a theatre though and I'll go to town.... :)
