I was woken up this morning around 5 a.m. by a phone call from detectives, dealing with yet another unbelievablely depressing crime that occurred in the wee hours. It could have been worse is about all I can say. That's about all you can ever say. I'm convinced that the human race is going to breed itself out of existence. Bah. I'm definitely ready for a vacation. Less than two weeks now until my last official "visit" back east before the big move. Time seems to move slowly and quickly all at once, probably the consequence of having so many things to do and wanting to already have them done. In another strange turn of events, I may have a paid gig writing erotic stories for graphic novels. That's smutty comics to us common folk. The thought of paying my law student loans with the proceeds from stories about people getting fucked seems to be the funniest sort of poetic justice. My life cracks me up sometimes. It's too hot today to do anything other than lie around in a state of semi-dress and semi-conciousness---alternating between napping, reading, and watching old movies; so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I worry about the weirdest things. Did you get that fantastic tattoo that you had the outline of done? If not, will a different tattoo artist be able to pick right up and carry on satisfactorily? (Not something I'd want to do two or three times, assuming it was even possible!)

Oh, that's not a weird thing at all. First on my mind was getting it finished before I leave---which will happen. I have one more marathon session (probably 4-5 hours) left and maybe a little touch-up. I'll definitely be done before I go. : )

Does that require your active participation, or can you take a good sleeping pill and awake all gorgeous five hours later???

I wish!! Unfortunately, I have to stay awake for the process. I do use lidocaine gel to deaden the really painful parts (along my ribcage and spine--ouch!). The pain part of it is a drag. I know there are some people who get into the pain of being tattooed. I'm not one of those people. I'm a wimp!
