the OCD in me!

i want all three of these so bad, plus the website is amazing. studio manzano, seriously check those out. (i can't upload any photos because i can't download them from flash due to my lame work comp)

october 22nd - october 26th.

i have a week off in between when i leave the shithole (lehr) and start at NOTED. my ultimate plan is to go up to westchester and spend some quality time with mom, dad, and dog.

i would also like to get these things done:

1. scan all polariods ever taken
2. get a haircut
3. take lots of polariods of fall foliage
   
4. spend lots of time with lana iguana
   
5. smoke weeds in the woods
   
6. take some long walks with puppy man
7. avoid starbucks entirely
8. see jesse at purchase
9. get some cooking lessons from mom
10. buy lots of cheap beer & bring it back to bk.

i have a good feeling that i will be starting a new chapter in my life very soon, i just wish i was happy with other parts. i sincerely miss sean and how he made me feel, i miss being in love and so swept off my feet. its fall and its crisp and beautiful, this time of year is always the worst for me without someone i love - but i feel stuck. stuck in this liminal stage where i know im not ready for it, but i want it so bad. i want to meet people and be excited, siiiigh.

no really, thank goodness for my amazing lady friends.

nothing really.

this week has gone pretty fast, and then only one more week at this shithole job. i get paid on monday so that means maybe tattoo's next week. i am thinking that the flowers arn't going to work with my M thats already on my lower bicep (muscles, ha). what i have come across, and hope to alter a bit are these:

i really love the one on the left, with some edits to the details irrupting from her head - but i hate the colors and would change them to black and white, grey and light blue. on the other hand, i like the owl's outstretched wings.
















i cannot find the website i stole these from at the moment, but i think these images are exactly what i was looking for. i find it hard sometimes, because i know i have a picture in my head, but it never comes out right when i try to get my hands to draw.

anyway, i've been reading all of these park slope and gowanus blogs, the one that best covers my area is the gowanus lounge. some of the posts are hysterical, as well as informational. the posts about the blunts being constantly smoked on someone's block is entertaining considering it is very reminiscent of our block every night. in addition, i am also fond of only the blog knows brooklyn.

yesterday was my father's birthday and it was wonderful to be home in the (finally) cool fall air. we had birthday cake and i got to hang out with my puppy man. later, lana came over and we smoked and talked in my room for two hours as usual. it was nice, im suped for my week off to spend back in westchester.


so THIS WEEKEND - well, sunday - is the 'gowanus harvest festival' at the yard on carroll street, right around the block from us. i am looking forward to the beer tasting, pumpkin carving and bon fire action. what else is up for friday and saturday?
