Tattoos

I have somewhere between 10-15 (lol I often forget about the ones off my arm and leg, plus it’s tough to quantity the huge, multi-session effort progressing down my leg). I haven’t gotten anything in a few years and really want to change that soon, but my artist moved to Tucson and that’s gonna be a whole thing… At least the places I have them, I haven’t found them that painful. Worst thing I did was two days in a row starting my thigh piece since my artist and I both traveled to do it. Felt horrible beating up the same area two days in a row! But otherwise it’s been pretty mellow and I think I actually fell asleep when I had something down on my tricep years ago. My favorite thing has been working primarily with one artist over the course of about 10 years. She’s so cool and intimidating (to me), but also such a nice person and a skilled painter. She’s done several pieces on my arm, in addition to the large color piece on my leg (my only color, otherwise all black and gray). Her name is Dia Moeller since I’m always happy to give her more business (she’s hard to book with, but also does beautiful watercolors and drawings, bought several in 2020 to keep tatting my apartment while I couldn’t work on my body).

AH LIFE!

I just got a new tattoo and life feels worth living again! Sometimes you just need to sit through hours of someone stabbing you to feel like a human again💌

Analog sunday

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“ This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

Writing down the things that bring you joy

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will. heres some of what I have so far: - Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company. - Strawberry jam - feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently. - A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love - Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie - Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk - lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts - small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
