•Thursday•Believe it or not I don't feel I have that much to write about. I went to the salon on Wednesday with Ariel. Slightly new look. I was lectured by my stylist. He threatened to scratch my eyes out in front of Chi-Chi's. He was very specific about that. He'd scratch my eyes out and then lick his nails. But still, despite the threat of mortal danger, I still had it better than Ariel. She got got a severe lecture from Phillipe who went on and on about the condition of her hair. It was so bad I thought he'd make her take a final exam after. But it was nice. We met up much earlier than the appointments, had lunch and talked.
The newer slightly less-broke Angel Boi is scaring Norm, I think. I'm not totally sad about that. Last night I had a very bad case of artist's block while trying to work on sketches for a coloring book I have to illustrate. I thought it would've been much easier than it seems to be now. The drawings themselves aren't supposed to be complicated. I just can't seem to get a feel for the main character, a woodchuck. I downloaded pictures off the 'Net but I think it's the drawing Edward did that's throwing me off a little. He already designed the character and it'll be featured on a website. In a way it's kinda screwed me over. I meet him on Saturday though so I'll get at least a few of the drawings done. Maybe the ones where the woodchuck isn't the focus. I'll think of something. I have to. Fast.
I bought new sheets. It's a slightly big deal for me because I'm on this kick right now to make my room perfect. I've been sleeping on the same sheets for over a year now. It's time to get new ones. I got sheets at KMart on Wednesday with Ariel. Perfect blue plaid sheet set and because Martha Stewart makes it so easy to decorate the package featured a picture of the sheets, pillow cases and a comforter that goes perfectly with it. I didn't have enough on me though for the ...I can't believe I'm even writing about this ...didn't have enough for the comforter on Wednesday. Went back to KMart today and I was shit out of luck. None of them were for a full-size bed. I even made one of the workers climb on a ladder to check the very top of the shelves. I settled for a slightly different comforter with more red in it. I still can't believe I actually explained that whole thing. Is this what my life has come to? Going on and on about sheets? Oh ... and I got new pillows today too.
I notice more and more that guys definitely come out of the woodwork when you're seeing someone. Maybe I didn't notice before but I keep catching guys looking at me out of the corner of my eye. Like this morning, I was in White Plains, walking to the bagel shop to get breakfast when some guy waved at me from his car as I crossed the street. Tonight, guy on bus stared at me while holding his girlfriend's hand. Smiled at me as I left the bus, fumbling with my shopping bags. Where were these people before, eh?
I'm working in Greenwich tomorrow and I'm actually pretty excited about it. I haven't been there in weeks and sometimes if I close my eyes really tight, block out some of Norm's madness, it feels like a little vacation.
