A Little Better

I love it when a day circles around a 360.  In the morning, going in to turn in my drawing, I ran into Tumia (beautiful middle-aged black woman PJ student) and her friend Aaron (only I didn't know his name at the time).  We had a fun talk about tattoos and becoming yourself over time.  Being around Tumia reminds me of the happy and hilarious people at the Guild, and I felt good.  As I was leaving though, Aaron was all "are you even going to introduce us?"  and I knew she didn't know my name yet.  "Nice cager," she said slightly avoiding eye contact.  I wasn't offended in the least, but it actually made me a bit happier (it happens to me too).  Then I went on to try and figure out Aaron's name.  I got the A right miraculously, and ended up guessing Andrew, Alex, Adam, and then (frustrated) I just spat out "Ajax?"  

After the meeting with Andrew at WITR and a conversation with Robert about my editorial assignment, I saw them in front of the Eastman Kodak Quad.  Full circles are wonderful - infinity, ouroboros, whatever.  Then we laughed a bit more and then I met up with my girl and future roommate Glor-bear.

Yes, this is Gloria's ironic "save electricity" torso!
Chugging coffee creamers.  Oh yeah!!!  Gloria used to do that as a child, so we did a shot of the creme for the hell of it.

I wanted to pay for dinner SO MUCH because Gloria deserves it (she paid for mine awhile ago), but lost that damn credit card, so I wanted to go to an atm and get money.  Go figure my other means of getting cash is defunct as well.  Kind of funny, now I'm screwed.  Gloria's such an amazing friend she even offered to lend me money, but I declined - even if it's not a lot of money, mixing friends and money is complicated.  

Going to shoot Breaker Rob Heffner for my editorial back-up.  He's laid off, so maybe I could even illustrate that trend.
Had to meet with Andrew for Member at Large training for WITR.  I can't wait to not be training with him; he's not bad but he's bad at remembering or caring about people, thinks he's really smart (maybe he is, but I hate the pretentious vibe - damn electrical engineers), and makes me uncomfortable ("do you shoot nude models?").
