(Pretend I posted this yesterday when I actually wrote it 
)
Chicken Chow Mein duly scarfed for dinner.
Had trouble focusing at work today, my brain wasn't co-operating (this is a regular occurrence). found myself scanning YouTube for music to sooth me (Id be using LastFM but it doesn't work on the PCs in my office, damn and blast). My typical metal just added to the brain scramble-age. Finally a bit of Imogen Heap and Beethoven sorted me out.
My design for my arm piece is coming along nicely. I'm kinda stuck as to what to put inside the big triangles of the design. Many ideas ran though my mind, one being a design that looks like muscle as if triangles of skin had been removed from my arm.
(Ok, that's all I actually got round to writing last night. Back into today mode)
Last night did some more sketches. Luckily the inspiration well hasn't started drying up yet so cranking them out nicely. E-mailed Sergi who will hopefully be the one actually committing these images to my flesh at some point!
Forgot to say, watched Inglorious Basterds this weekend. Really enjoyed it. Probably the most tense film I have seen for a while. The way it builds in a number of scenes can become nearly unbearable in a fantastic way. Interspersed with the odd bit of brutal violence and humour made for a all round excellent way to spend the evening (although as it was a late showing, didn't get back home till gone 3am, whence I merrily devoured 2 plain cooked tortillas. Maybe a strange late night/early morning snack, but very agreeable).
*edit*
Forgot to add that I cant stop listening to this. It makes me happy.

I've posted a new blog about yesterday's excursion to the tatt studio- I'm getting it done by Mr. X at Into You (his stuff is on www.duncanx.com ). The little device I spotted at the museum was a scarificator (a 17/18th century blood letting instrument) so it's important for me to have it on the wrist, close to my heart. The design i'm getting is the fictional rendition of what I saw where i've rearranged the levers and modified the main one so ithe main lever now looks like a creepy mechanical phallic-finger emerging from a wooden box... This place in Brighton sounds very cool, there seem to be some interesting little tatt shops over there. Mr. X's stuff is quite a bit different to them; his stuff ranges from the "deliberately bad" look, (I think he's inked kids' drawings in the past) to some striking pieces reminiscent of wood cuts- he doesn't create a kind of airbrushed look, rather he creates tone by building up lots of lines. I just felt woodcut suited what I wanted for my dear little wrist (of course being such a small piece mine will be made up of much finer lines than what he usually does). I might seriously consider that Ade though for the next tattoo in line which I've already designed- his soft delicate watercolour style would definately suit that one. Just realised i've basically continued my own blog into yours
