there's nothing like stepping on to an over packed subway car when you're trying to refrain from letting anything touch the part of your body, on which you just got some tattoo work done. yea...
and on the same note, yesterday was the first session in a project that is going to take some time. it's the original project that steve and i had planned to work on about five years ago. each time we'd get sidetracked by other things (hence my mostly covered back and arms) and we never got around to doing it. so without further ado, i give you the results of the first session of the star wars project.
i already have three more appointments scheduled. the first will include completing what i started yesterday, and the others... we haven't decided yet. ultimately, however, the project will conclude when my entire right thigh (knee to crotch) is covered in star wars themed ink =)

last night after class, i finally had the chance to catch corpse bride!! i met up with the lovely kristen in the 86th street area, we had time to go into some local bar for a drink and the we headed over to the theater... i'm not going to review the movie, since i would not know where to begin. suffice it to say that i am absolutely in love... again!! i think i had tears in my eyes the whole time =P at first it was because i was so excited, but then it was just cuz it was that kind of a movie.
i stand by my previous opinion - danny elfman and tim burton make the perfect combination for movie creation!
now i have to rethink my next tattoo =D

the dumbest dilemma ever
music: none mood: heh
i got my contacts a little over a week ago and i'm doing much better with them. however, sometimes it still takes a few minutes to get them in (no trouble getting them out, though). with that said, it's been about ten months since i've gotten my nails done and i'm getting a little tired of the really short nails, or otherwise boyish, look. there is hardly anything i do that's particularly girly, and that was one thing i was rather fond of. when i took them off, it was only going to be for a couple of months... to let my nails grow back in more healthy. but now i'm all antsy about it.
i guess it's not really a dilema after all... for those of you who know me, you know i'm heading right to the salon after work cuz i already have this idea in my head. so much for patience. the only question is really how fucked up is it going to be, putting in my contacts with longer nails, not IF i should do it or not. heh.

dreams
music: server roar mood: bouncy =D
recently, i've had some very odd dreams. what makes it even weirder is that i usually either don't dream at all or simply do not remember them. lately, however, i've been having some very strange ones... the one last night was all about rearranging the fucking server room in my office!! haha! i mean seriously, what is wrong with me??

why?
music: none mood: feh
why is it that nothing is ever easy? i don't ask for much... really, i don't. but sometimes, just sometimes i'd like for things to just work out the way i want them to. i've worked hard for everything i have, and i honestly don't mind the hard work. it does make everything more worthwhile. but every once in a while i'd just like to be cut some slack. just a little. it's not that i don't feel extremely fortunate with the track my life is on at the moment (minus a few setbacks that i suppose are normal to an extent), and with certain people in my life etc... but seriously, am i ever just going to be happy?

eyes
music: silence mood: it's fucking cold in here!
yesterday i went to the same place i got my glasses a couple of months ago (has it already been that long?) and got contacts. i figured that since i prefer not to wear my glasses out when i go drinking (the whole losing shit while i'm drunk issue), i should probably still try to stay un-blind. so after sitting and waiting for the doctor for a few minutes, i was taken to be shown how to put them in... needless to say it took forever. haha! what looks so simple when it's being done by others (i think almost all of the people i know wear contacts), took me a half an hour to do!! for the first one, the doctor was actually trying to explain to me how to do it. although i did end up getting it in, it was much easier to do when the assistant explained her method. lol.
i keep on wondering how long its going to take me to get used to. this morning wasn't too difficult, but it wasn't fun either =P
either way, i think i'd rather fall sleep in a pair of contacts than lose my expensive pair of glasses any day!

not so speechless after all
music: rammstein - sonne mood: *giggle*
i believe i have gone insane (and i mean this in the most beautiful, exciting way =P)... last night i spent four hours (that's right four!) on the phone with a certain someone. now a few things about that: 1) i am not a phone person. i mostly use the internet and text messaging to communicated and if need be, the cell - for a few minutes, to confirm plans and whatnot. i do not use it for long conversations. it's difficult to hold up against my ear for too long and it's just really unnecessary. 2) even back when i had no net connection or even a computer, back when i was going out with someone who was in the (israeli) military, and phones were all we had to communicate with each other over the span of weeks at a time that we would not see one another - i never had a conversation this long! 3) i think it's time i look into getting an actual phone in my house and paying a flat rate. otherwise these are going to be the three most expensive months of my life. lol. not that it's not so worth it, but i think i should start using my head about this aspect of things, rather than the rest of my body. haha!!
that being said, i simply adore this boy!!
in other news, i believe i shall be joining cara and rob for a visit to the giger exhibit sometime today! i'm so excited!! i hope they allow taking pictures =)

all in a day
music: within temptation - ice queen mood: accomplished
yesterday was kind of productive. let's see...
* i got my new, stupid-looking school ID * managed to meet up with my project partner for some planning * confirmed over and over that i am crazy about a certain someone *giggle* * had ru dye my hair black again... this time without a reaction. we came up with an idea that should have worked in theory, put it to the test and succeeded! this is very exciting. it means that not only will i be able to have black hair, but i will get to hang out with amber and ru more often. and not in a loud, club environment! =)
today i think will be more for doing some homework and later going to my favorite bar to see some people i haven't seen in way too long. provided, of course, i make it through work today. heh.
also, BYTE on sunday should kick some major ass. it's always the only party i ever look forward to. yay!

well, shit
music: tanzwut - wieder da mood: lol
so this morning was the fourth time in my 30 years that a bird of some sort decided that i was a good place to take a shit. that's right, the FOURTH time. this doesn't even happen once to most people, to some it happens perhaps once. some people like to say that this means i will have good luck or some such nonsense. let me tell you that the people who invented that, only say it to make people who get shit on (literally) feel better. LOL. the only thing this means i have any luck in is having birds shit on me!! haha!
here's a question... is being shit on by birds like getting hit by lightening? meaning that once you've been hit (shit on) initially, you attract more? hmmm...
anyway, it's a good thing that this morning's bird was not a pigeon. otherwise i'd have had to turn around, go back home and start my day again.
eewwww!!

party on
music: none mood: ok
in case anyone was looking for something different to do, for a change - i will be going to this party tomorrow. i'm so sick of the 'scene,' i've been looking for anything else to do. mostly d&b and trance. i know this doesn't appeal to most of you, but i figured i'd keep on posting just in case anyone decides that being condemned to a life of boring goth parties is not what they want =D
and as usual, let me know if you care to join!

i need more
music: office noises mood: tired-ish
last night was definitely a success. after class, i ran home to change and headed right out again. i went down to hang out with keleigh for a while, as we yapped and she got ready. wine was consumed as well, and we were on our way to cielo for some drum & bass goodness =) upon arrival, even more drinks were consumed, and the place was slowly (but surely) filling up. the headlining DJ was LTJ Bukem, who was one of the first d&b artists i was introduced to many years ago. i actually started listening to him when he put out his first CD. i was excited! we danced, i got to meet one of keleigh's (super nice) friends, and the place was packed! lol. does anyone have a job?? at some point, though, i realized i should probably get at least some sleep, so we headed out. we met up with dave for some f00dz at odessa =) mmm!
since i was drunk, i did some dialing as well (d'oh). but the person on the receiving end of my call was sweet, amusing, and very happy to hear my oh-so-sexy voice =P
i got four hours of sleep. not much, but i've done worse. and not having a hang over is key =)

ok... so it looks like i will be going to a drum and bass party at the same club i was at on sunday for the trance party. the drum and bass thingie is tonight. i know it's short notice and that most of you prefer not to go out on a week night, but i figured i'd post it here just in case anyone did, in fact, want to get out tonight =)

music: TV crap mood: ok
let it be said that i hate manic panic. it hardly did anything for my roots - they're more gray than anything else right now. i thought it would at least be black until i washed it once or twice... though i have to say that it covered my already-fading black dye on the rest of my head rather well =) i'm going to have to do a more serious search for black special effects. even places that carry it's other colors, don't seem to have the black. online and off. if anyone knows where i can find the stuff, some info would be greatly appreciated.
on with the search...

happy birthday
music: none mood: sleepy
that's right, acerbity is now four years old! it feels like it's been a lot longer than that, though. perhaps because of everything that i've done and everything that has changed for me over the past few years. when i first started this, i was clueless about design, blogging, or anything web-related for that matter. obviously now things are a lot different. this site is my eldest and most loved child (yet more proof that i would suck as a parent), and it will hopefully be mine for many years to come.
thank you all for visiting and reading =)

party time! excellent!
music: silence mood: still a little sleepy
well i guess i am officially 'back,' as my loving bartenders simply put it. back to drinking so much, i make an ass out of myself, that is. haha! it's a good thing i do this when i'm among friends, otherwise i would probably find myself in some crazy shit. seriously. anyway, that being said - apparently i was drunk-dialing people last night. however, that i remember doing. i remember the conversations i had and who i had them with (i just had to check my phone this morning to figure out how long i was driving said people insane =P). what i didn't remember doing is drunk-typing (yes, there is such a thing, apparently). i logged on to myspace this morning to find that i sent some rather interesting emails to a certain person. hahaha! omg, i'm so retarded. hopefully this person realizes just how drunk i was and thinks it's cute or something. i also kept on repeating how drunk i was in the email... this should be a good enough indication, methinks. lol.
oh.dear.
either way, i had a blast! it was so nice seeing some people i haven't seen in a while, and making some new friends. yay! and tonight is more partying for me =)

on how to dye my hair
music: none mood: hopeful
i think i have figured out what i am going to do about dying my hair -
i am going to dye as much of my hair as i can with permanent dye (covering my neck with plastic and my ears with vaseline) and the actual top/scalp part i will dye with manic panic or something of the same nature.
since it appears to be what makes dyes permanent that i am allergic to, vegetable oil based dyes should be just fine. not to mention that i actually patch tested manic panic a few days ago anyway (yes, i know - retarded =P) and got no reaction.
so that's the plan for now. i hope this doesn't come with another trip to the ER =D wish me luck!

after attending what i think is going to be a kickass class last night, i headed down to the bar for a couple of drinks (yes, i have gone off of my non-drinking kick cuz it didn't get me the results i wanted) and just to be out and about. hung out with keleigh and laurie for a while, yapping about cell phones, music and long-lost friends. i had a couple of drinks and was on my way (i actually took the bus home!). upon walking through my door, i headed right for my CD collection. i pulled out as much old trance as i could find, and begun the ripping process. i wanted as much of it as possible on my ipod by today. keleigh had also given me the names of a few drum n' bass artists that i have to check out. during the time it took me to rip said CDs, i was talking to an israeli friend of mine, who lives in brooklyn, about finding some trance parties to go to. hehe.
this morning, on my way to work, i was listening to some really old stuff and i found it absolutely amusing how what we now call 'industrial' or 'noise' was once the original version of trance. ha!
i miss the music, i miss the people and i miss the general mood that cannot be achieved at a silly goth club with people who have no idea what this is all about... *sigh*
