Home again

Yawn. It is so late here. Week from hell, seriously. House sitting is over-rated. Car wouldn't start. Whole damn city flooded, car got wet, took a while to dry off and start Bah.

Grievances:

Dogs
-crapped inside, both of them, despite countless letting outs and walks
-always annoying me
-make my dog seem like some sort of nuclear physisist

House
-I wasn't left a god damn key
-Dishwasher was left full
-towels were difficult to find
-No recycling bin
-Computer infected to hell and back
-Internet connection non-existent
-Bed I was promised not available, slept on couch

I had to fix the computer, and establish a wifi connection. Sounds simple, but in reality, it was a lot of work. I went over my food budget by 5 dollars, and the pc was totally trashed, so I charged an extra 50 bucks. Payment I negotiated was acceptable, but not great.

Plus side:
-Ca$h money, dollar dollar bill y'all
-A waste of a week spent earning money, instead of not.
-I beat Super Mario Galaxy
-I got to watch the comic-con coverage on tv
-It's about to be my birthday and I didn't realize it until today
-Little cousin has grown up into a not annoying teenager, and he listened with interest as I droned on about Dr. Doom





Need to refill all my pills tomorrow, and go food shopping.

Issue One of DC's Blackest Night Event came out today. I've been waiting 2 years for this event. Went to Southern first to settle my debt, and talk about how the ILS department is fucking me over. Picked up Darien, we went to Clockwork comics where the owner tried to absolutely gouge us. A single issue of a comic is somewhere between 4 and 5 dollars. I don't know exactly. As a promo item DC offered to sell black rings as promo items. 50 rings for 8 dollars. That comes out to 16 cents per ring. Clockwork wanted to charge us 5 dollars on top of the price of the issue for the rings. So we left, went to Alternate Universe in New Haven and got our comics and rings together for under 5 dollars.

Tattoo tomorrow. Definitely this time.

Medication update, again

Afternoon dosage simply isn't happening. Too late a sleeper. I've combined my dosages from two 10's to a single 20 in the morning. Tattoo tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. And I have a job set up for next week. Details to come eventually. More or less, I'm house sitting. Beggars can't be choosers.

New movie I just found out about: 2081

SO. MUCH. WIN.

It came out in May at a film festival. If the opportunity arises to see it/download it/buy it I will take it.

Force Push everyone away from me

Non disclosure agreement negates my bitching. Suffice it to say, I had a horrid time. Never want to associate with most of the party goers ever again.

Moving right along,

Tattoo is half done. Finished on Tuesday in theory. Ouroboros around ankle. when shading is done, pics will be upped.

The alchemists, who in their own way know more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. In the age old image of the ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the most astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself.

The ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow self. This feed back process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself t life again, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. This is much like the cycle of the Phoenix, the feminine archetype.

Ouroboros symbolizes The One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and therefore constitutes the secret of the prima materia which unquestionably stems from man's unconsciousness.

I've gone from Goofus to Gallant, and we owe it all to mind-bending pills.

I'm myself again! Sweet. I spent the day chilling with aislinn and playing Mario-Kart. Now that I have my old infinite patience back my sis and I are close as ever. I made her a cake today. Making a mix cd of classical music for her budding piano ability tomorrow. Yayness.

When I can't stop my fiddlin'
I just takes me Ritalin
