Itching

I'm itching to be tattooed.

I woke up this morning and Will asked if I wanted to go into town and get tattoos, just for the sake of it. I would if I wasn't heading up to the Great Barrier Reef next week. Nathan encouraged me to get the latest issue of Inked Magazine because Megan Massacre--a gorgeous model and brilliant tattoo artist out of NYC--was on the cover of the Australia/NZ issue. I'm so glad I got the magazine because it highlighted a lot of really great shops/artists in AU. One artist in particular, Sam Clark, completely blew me away. His work is very colorful, hugely realistic and lifelike, and very abstract, as well. Check him out if you care. He's worth your time. I emailed him today to see if I could get an appointment before I go back to the US. Fingers crossed.

Yesterday was Friday, which means I made tea for everyone. Taco night was a huge success in some respects and a flop in others. It was a success in the way that it was SO delicious and quenched my hankering for tacos, however, it was a flop in the way that nearly everyone had gone home and I only was making tacos for four people, which I didn't know, and had enough food for eight. Oh well, I used the leftovers for a taco salad today.

Tonight, I'm making lamb wellington with Port gravy. I'm also reserving beds in hostels in Cairns, Sydney, and Melbourne and buying my plane tickets. Easter break, here I come. I'm also excited to try a Cabernet that I bought last night by Wine Men of Gotham. Speaking of wine, I bought a bottle of Port for the recipe tonight and tried it last night. It's called The Wise One, and it was very good. I had never had a Port before and really enjoyed it.

I met a guy named Egypt the other night, I don't know if I told you that. He's been hanging out more and he's a solid bloke.

A few days ago, I left my door open while I was gone. Alex and Teish took this opportunity to cover my windows in blue and red sticky notes which spelled out "ALEX TEISH [and a heart]." Speaking of Teish, I was reading my tattoo magazine yesterday in the kitchen and I heard Teish throwing rocks at the widow. I came outside and she told me to "Hurry! Me and Marrie need you right now! You have to come! Please, hurry!" So I ran across to Marrie's dorm and found that the dire emergency was that they had papers due in 20 minutes and wanted me to finish doing Marrie's citations and proofread Teish's paper. I told them they should have found me three hours ago.

Have you ever heard of declassifying your Pineal gland? It sounds really interesting and I have a friend doing it. I'm interested to learn more about it. Look it up. Knowledge is power.

I'll probably post again later tonight with pictures of the wellington and other stuff.

Take care guys. I'm glad you're reading.
