two unrelated and BEMUSING anecdotes for you

1. i was watering my basil plant, and the fucked up part isn't that the plant is STILL ALIVE but that it fell into the court yard upside down. Right onto the fucking plant. I had to get my land lady to let me into the court yard so i could go get my plant. she probably thinks i'm retarded (rightly so).

2. i was walking down from the hospital to the bus stop after getting some lab stuff and this crazy grizzled looking man stops me and says, "BALGHJSDJFH PANASHDFKJASD. ALasdfhkjsdf Bas?DSF/?"

"What?" I am confused and frightened, mainly because he speaks french VERY FAST and sounds VERY DRUNK. I can read french but I can BARELY understand people when they are speaking slowly and are SOBER. There is no way in hell I can understand this guy. "Je ne parle pas francais."

"ASdfhkajsdfhkasjdfhsadfjh. There?" Point towards hospital. What the fuck??? Cue: extra confused look.

Then he starts making drink-y motions. "Liquer???? Depanneur????"

OHHHHHHHHHH THE DEP. I tell him I don't know if there is one by the hospital, and that I think it's mostly houses, with a lot of pointing and bad franglais. I manage to get to him that there is one by sherbrooke, at which point he goes - what i believe to be - "pffffff too far." And says something that sounds like "merci" but it could have just as well have been "merde" and i would not have heard the difference.

NOTE IT WAS 9:30 AM WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

BUT the dude wants to charge $7 for admission! it is a fancy schmancy place and he wants a 1 drink minimum, and drinks are expensive. i'm gonna go try to haggle him down with commission because i don't think most of the people that would come can afford $7 drinks. BALZAC.

also, alexgorelick has a journal now

HOW STRANGE

you should read his stuff

anyway, i've been working on the shirt design for PRESIDENT LINCOLN: our first giraffe president and JOHN MILKES MOOTH: the bovine who would have to kill him. but i cannot decide whether i like it in a photo-collage-y style or TOTALLY RETARDED KID DRAWING style better.

octobunny blue



fox skull

guys i need money, so i am opening an etsy shop. what would be a reasonable price for silkscreened shirts and octobunnies?

octobunny has been realized IN THREE-DIMENSIONS

and he will be going to live with drew

materials: felt, paint, polyester stuffing, fabric of indeterminate chemical make-up





also i found a barely used nikon d50 + lens + tripod for $400. upgrading would involve having to sell my canon though which breaks my little heart. if i can get ~200 for my canon + sell my yamaha guitar then i would be only like ~150 in the hole and if i don't eat anything for a month it will be okay I AM SURE OF IT


AHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK IT I'M GOING TO GO GET IT AFTER WORK


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

now starts the long process of justification.

yesterday i also started a painting. i feel all productive and shit but now i'm stuck in the lab for 5 more hours doing WASHES AND WASHES AND MORE WASHES. fuck. it's my fault for not bringing stuff to do but still. WARGHASDF.
