crazyfurries...of 06. Sorta. First part was GREAT. Second part.. well it's another reason why I want to move out. SOON.
First part, got up bright an early to visit with some friends I haven't seen in a LONG while today. First stopped off at the campus to check and see if I could catch the new art professor and see what he was like (even though I don't go there anymore it's good to keep tabs on the other poor sods stuck in the art hell that's there and try an cheer em up) since he wasn't there I also visited the guy who runs the library, Todd Mountjoy. great guy, nice enough kids and a fellow fan of fantasy, scifi and weird shit. shared Dragoncon photos with him. He loved it, wishes he could figure some way to go. (part of school system, don't ask) Talked for hour about good intelligent tv (almost extinct now. fucking grar. also roar and as a side note, intelligent cartoons are even harder to find)
Then it was lunch with a couple of friends i haven't seen since before I started job searching. anoush and stacy (stacy has a hand mauling cat that I once helped design a kitty straight-jacket for. yeah that's right. a straight jacket for a cat. ask for the story why by name.) at this coffee haus/bakery I love to go to. Good cheap coffee, and they make good bagel sammiches. I missed the annual Festivus this year with them because i was working at the time (christmas money yo.) but Anoush so sweet got me a batman action figure. From the batman movie that just released. the one where batman is a ninja. (CAPE ACTION!) I also shared dragoncon photos with them. They were much impressed. We talked about comics, comic writers, writing comics, neil gaiman (ok.. ...call me a kook. i didn't know he lived in wisconsin. at least that's what anoush sez. will google and check le blog later) and art stuff for hours, then checked the new record store across the street (it was in the spot where a craft store had been before for a very long time. store was not good in fuzzy opinion.) and a lovely stationary shop fuzzy doesn't visit much (wonderful...wonderful handmade paper there. fuzzy loves) and sadly had to part. Stopped and ordered comics and applied for serving job (in order, latter being a hopeful replacement for the shitball job) and then we get to part 2.
Mom is pinhead. that or mom's friends are also but i'm gunning for both here. Mom insists that I drive her to her friend's house and stop along the way. By this time is late, we are rushing and mom does NOT stop with the nit-picking. I don't know if it's her way of replacing conversation or if she's just trying to grate my nerves WHILE I'M DRIVING.. We go through traffic and driving hell. Mom calls friend talking about going to visit someplace. Find out that friend in question isn't going until TOMORROW. (VEXED UP MAN) By this time fuzzy is on last shred of patience because NOW she has to drive mother back and then scurry to work. Make flying dive to other stop because we're there and I barely make it to work on time. Only good thing? second stop was at bath and body. they had big sale, fuzzy get niiiiiice soaps. citrus-y and raspberry-y. Work? oh. Yes. Micro-managing co-worker grates nerves and owes me money. Again. new guy is nice, helpful and knows he owes me for helping him a couple of times. (unlike female coworker. NRRRR.) Now just home, sore all over, getting caught up on webcomics and then.. well hell who knows what'll happen.
