I’m going out with Karen today, my plan is to hit as many thrift stores as possible and try to find leather jackets. They don’t seem to pop up very often; probably because they get bought quickly. I’ve been lucky a couple of times and got a white one which is beautiful, and a black one.
My plan for the white jacket is to do a punk Sailor Moon theme, which I’m sure will sell. I’m debating about dying it pink before painting the back. I don’t know if I want to deal with the mess, however, as well as any specialty stuff I might have to get to do it correctly. I want to put either spikes or studs on the shoulders or a combination.
The black one, I’m not sure entirely. I was thinking maybe the old Sisters of Mercy logo? The newer one is rubbish (no offence intended, uncle Andy) so I would go with the old one as it’s iconic. I considered doing The Mission as well.
I would love to find a brown one I could distress all to fuck and do a dusty-looking Nephs jacket. That said, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. I haven’t painted on a jacket in 20 years, and I’d be doing it for someone else, not myself. I might have to break out the actual paint and brushes sometimes which I’ve never used on a jacket. It was always whiteout before. I have a lot to learn if I’m actually going to get anywhere with this, but I am certainly willing to learn whatever I need to. I am excited! Could I be moving towards a more productive life?
I had my secondary cataract lasered off this morning. Most of the time was spent in the waiting room, then spent about ten minutes in a dark room waiting for the drops to dilate my eye. The actual procedure took about two minutes. I sat in a chair, put my chin and forehead on the rest bars and zap zap zap, it was done. My right eye is still a little bit blurry, I would have thought it would be back to normal hours ago. I’m probably worried about nothing though.
There was suddenly a godawful smell throughout my house, anywhere doors weren’t shut, so I guessed it had to come from the kitchen. It always comes from the fucking kitchen. It was so bad I didn’t want to be in my own house and sprayed air fresheners constantly, but nothing was getting rid of it. I looked all around and found nothing. Mom took a look and brought a bag of rotten apples from the very back of my fridge. How’d I miss that? Well, it’s gone now. It smelled like puke.
Edit: I found a few old pictures on my laptop!
First here’s an itty bitty pic of me from 2003, I was 17 or 18. I don’t know why I cropped it so small.
Next, here is a macro I took of a house spider (jumping spider?) eating a fucking fly. This is the meme I made of it lol. Dad is the one who pointed it out and suggested I take a photo. That’s a can of Pepsi max and a sausage wrapper sitting behind it. This was on my deck. And yes, I am very scared of spiders. This was around 2013. I also did not have a smartphone and was using an excellent digital camera. RIP fly, I guess.
This one is from my terminal Naruto fandom days, specifically 2007 or some time before that. I drew Rock Lee on my thumb, named it “leethumb” and posted it to a bunch of Naruto communities on Livejournal. He was a hit. I was a massive Naruto shitposter back then. Haha
And that’s all, have a good night!
