my unsupervised day: a rock opera

[sab]

I left the house today in the blazing heat, with every intention of going to the Y and jumping in the pool. And then I thought, thassalia told me about that waterproof iPod shuffle, I should get one of THOSE and go swim.

So I went to Best Buy and bought a $49 shuffle, and took it to the Apple store at the Grove to get it outfitted. But in doing so learned that the WATERPROOFING costs $90, so altogether this endeavor was more expensive than I'd planned to go. But, Jason Bateman was standing behind me as I grilled the iPod guy about potentially outfitting my ZUNE for waterproofing and therefore saving me the trouble of moving all my music into iTunes. The Apple guy was expectedly miffed when I told him that I liked the Zune better than the iPod (three words: Drag. And. Drop.) but also empathized with the absurd cost of the waterproofing kit, and I left. I didn't say hi to Jason Bateman, but it's a good thing too, because odds are what would have come out of my mouth would have sounded a lot like, "so, you're a celebrity. Help me figure out how to bag David Tennant?"

And that's just not cool, in the Apple store!

So instead, deciding to return the iPod shuffle and save myself a hundred and fifty dollar swimming headset, and also the trouble of having to move everything into iTunes.

I took my shoes off layway, and as I was headed home thought, you know what I need to do today instead of spending money on iEquipment I will hate to use?









I had a crappy sort of bamboo band up around that arm, and went in to my guy and said "fix it!" and he brainstormed the city skyline (Brooklyn, in my head). It's got little houses and apartments with chimneys and vents and telephone poles! Above there are four blue-backgrounded floating stars, which I made him add. Better pictures to come when better pictures exist.

That's so neat! Good call on the stars.

That is a cool tat! I eagerly await the better pictures. I'd get a tattoo if I could decide on a picture to wear for the rest of my life. I have enough trouble picking out earrings every morning. *sigh* When they come up with ink that goes away in 6 months/ a year/ five years then I'm there.

Oh, that's brilliant! It is always heartening to know that there is a solution to not-very-good-tattoos. I love your skyline so hard.

[hetrez.livejournal.com]

That's a really interesting tattoo.

[thingswithwings.livejournal.com]

oh, I love it! original and pretty without being cutesie. the stars totally make it.

I like that a lot. My brother has the Vancouver skyline around his calf, but, I always thought, if I did something like it, it would have to be more suburbia.

OMG BEAUTIFUL!

apparently I ditched my tattoo icon, sad.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

It's gorgeous. I can't wait to see it in person.

Plus, will you e-mail me the name of your guy because I'm ready to get the matching muse on my hip, or the owl on my back and I'm going to be itchy all summer until it's on there!

I'll take you there! Wanna go... this week? After work? They're open till midnight. Call me!

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Must call you. My need for something new on my body just jumped up a notch.

At least you would have been able to speak; I would have gotten light-headed and then fainted dead away. Not a good way to make a first impression.

Love the "new" tattoo, also. *g*

Aha! Your mention of David Tennant has reminded me that I actually have to thank you for something! You made mention, a few months back, about la Tennant being in Hamlet later in the year and how some female was "stalking" him in Stratford? You even had a link to the story on a UK newspaper site.

Well, before that I had NO IDEA he was going to be on stage, and the very next night I booked tickets to go. It's not until the autumn, and they were practically sold out! Thusly I have a "restricted view" seat, which probably means I'm behind a pillar or something, but as I told my cohort C, at least we will hear his voice and breathe the same air as him! I live half an hour from Stratford which makes it all terribly convenient.

Without the power of the Sabernet I would have been none the wiser. Even though I live half an hour away!So, THANK YOU!

Love the tat. Wish I had balls enough to get one :D Sadly, I am a wuss!

Ooh! That's so cool.
