The Dude is back, hurrah, and she brings with her The BBQ! All hail to the Gloucesterian Convent Girl, yay!
She just gone back out though with her mum and friend, so the next couple of hours will be the last few I have on my own for [possibly] the next two months. Don't actually mind though, I'm so glad my housemates are drifting back like little tumbleweeds. I don't quite realise how close I am to some people until it changes and they're gone or, in this unfortunate case, back.
Haven't had work today, but just been tidying up this morning, cleaning the kitchen and the such. And scrubbing last night's potato dough out of the carpet. Potato mush is disgustingly fascinating if you leave it out overnight. All grey and yicky. Yummo, now I really feel like lunch (!).
Been drawing actually, it's nice to have that urge back. Designing a couple of tattoos (an peacock and a kitty) and drawing this pin-up girl. Pretty excited, as found out this place down by the Quay has a burlesque night once a month - I'm a big fan. Well, I'm a big fan when it's done well, let me put it that way. And the whole scene, it just seems so beautiful and glamorous and intoxicating, it has since I first saw Dita Von Teese. Some dancers can make such a simple gesture so elegant and sexy. Besides, stockings and stilettos are just plain hot.
Had the landlord come round a couple of hours ago with this painter, so they could assess the house. It was a teensy bit awkward (although I found it pretty funny) when they got to my room though - it's really tidy but I've got all these pictures (I have a habit of cutting out pictures and quotes and the such from newspapers, magazines, you name it, if they catch my eye) strewn all over the floor. The painter was rather amusing, sort of trying not to look TOO much at the half-naked Angelina Jolies and sexy women mixed in with these arty portraits, architecture and black and white photos. Wonder if the one this evening will be as amusing?
Oh, but great news - this really fed-up looking delivery guy shoved a box in my hands and ran off - my shoesies have arrived! They're cute, I love 'em; soft black hightops with neon rainbow splatters. The white laces are going to have to go though, I think. Going to have a look for some funky ones in Blue Banana with the girls next week.
