the fruits of friendship
Sep. 10th, 2017 10:31 pmA woman was picking up her cat later and I'm not the first person to be disappointed by an empty animal carrier.
I had no idea how short a distance it was between State Street and Aquarium, so I ended up only drawing half a face.
I didn't even try to draw a woman with short hair with a winsome ribbon in it and a silver pendant on the Orange Line.
A man was wearing a t-shirt with the ABCs of Mario.
Marylee makes nightlights and earrings and clocks and lamps out of glass.
Elif Burduroğlu has a dog named Sophie and paints dogs and more abstract things.
there was a painter making Klimt-esque paintings and Zach Prosser made Pollack-esque paintings.
Jeremy Lowther is a cartoonist and is making an epic platformer game about a little dinosaur named Chompy.
Someone made a goldfish in acryllic paint.
Melissa makes mobiles because they're art and because they're soothing.
A woman was wearing a pendant with a silver moon and a golden sun and is of the sign of the Darkening Cloud.
There were garlands of plastic bottle fish above the path.
A woman has a tattoo with Know Thyself written in Ancient Greek, γνῶθι σεαυτόν, and Athena's owl.
Sydney Hardin has not played Vagrant Story but she's amazed. Speaking of Vagrant Story, I called Emma Ashley once again, not to her face, but I was like "Ashley and I are talking, although she never responds to my facebook messages" because I asked her what time she was playing.
She has two chihuahuas who are unfortunately not named Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and she was wearing black plastic earrings with coils of yellow. She painted a tardigrade, a pangolin, an echidna, a rain frog which reminds me of a pixie frog or a blobfish, an axolotl, an armadillo, and a few other odd-looking creatures. No deep sea fish, though.
I told her a few things about axolotls (axolomeh, so sayeth Wiktionary) that were made in error. No, the process of turning them into adults doesn't necessarily kill them, they just aren't very good with the adult form,
No, you can't do this even if you had a magickal wardrobe; Wikipedia tells me that the Magician's Nephew is set in 1900 and there are 1000 years of Narnia-time between The Magician's Nephew and the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. That can't be right. In Prince Caspian, 1300 years pass in Narnia when one year passes in the real world, which means either Narnia is 65,000 years old or there is a massive continuity error or spacetime anomaly. Either way, not enough time to force frogs or caecilians to evolve permanent neoteny.
Emily's photographs have exceptionally hyperreally vivid colors because they're printed on metal, not because they're altered in any way.
A man had skulls adorned in horns and headdresses tattooed on his arms, with the Russian words for death, смерть, and love, люблю, below them. He's not Russain at all, he's in fact French.
Sydney says they're trying to learn how to regenerate limbs and central nervous system using them.
There's a restaurant called Tia's.
Sowat is a Thai doge but he has a Cambodian name.
Mint Green was selling cassettes and giving away stickers but not selling CDs and giving away candy like the sign said. They're like dreampunk. I do have a cassette player but no equipment to hook it up to my computer and the one time my friend Chris tried that, he described it as sounding like monkeys popping bubble wrap. Ronnica is the vocalist and Kristin has known her for a while. Kristin has blonde and maroon hair, and a black pendant.
I acquired a copy of Red Right Hand's album, along with a compilation of every band playing at the Boston Arts Festival.
Danielle was just there. She was dressed for either boating or potential rain showers that never actually happened, with a necklace chain hidden behind hair and clothing, and she likes to work with charcoal. Someone said she looks mad in the drawing of her.
Ally had a necklace of hanging silver bits and a floral-wrought headband. Jessica had a simple golden chain and a shirt that reminded me of Emma's splatter art. I'm noticing splatters everywhere too.
I drew Devyn and Liz while they were eating hot dogs. Neither of them are artists but they wish they could be.
Adrianna and a few other people were giving away free fish samples from a food truck, including garlic tilapia and honey chipotle salmon. Which was totally amazing, by the way.
I've heard Chris Moreno before. Saturday, Blindspot and Red Right Hand played. Nick Zaino is a folk singer who plays a rather strange looking acoustic guitar that looks more like an acoustic bass and also harmonica, the Inebriations played rock, Matt York also played rock, the name Dave Crespo sounds familiar and I don't know why,
People think Molly is Portuguese because her middle name is Pinto, but it's not, it's Italian. She's also Irish: her full name is Molly Pinto Madigan, as if you couldn't tell by the fact that her name is Molly, although I know a Molly who's Lithuanian and Polish and not Irish and I know a Molly who is definitely German and only possibly Irish. She likes to do calligraphy and I love the way she stylized her name on the mailing list. ọ is used in Yoruba and Igbo and presumably other West African languages. She's a folk singer who sings songs about serial killing mermaids and wolfsbane wine and modern day Little Red Riding Hood, and in fact, wrote books about that and a retelling of Tam Lin. Why, yes, Jack of Hearts is a boss in Nier. He stole the tarts, you know. Don't be fooled: jacks and knaves are the same thing.
It was just Molly on acoustic guitar on stage but the albums have a bit more to them. I would have bought the albums because I set aside ten for Atlas Lab's album because I wasn't going to try operation "We've been friends for a few years now and Ashley hates me so maybe you should be nice and just give it to me for free."
I think I have many of Atlas Lab's songs memorized by now. Chris (like in Through The Heart, Chris is a girl's name here. I'm still waiting to meet a girl named Blueberry) and Emily haven't heard of them haven't heard of them before they played at the Boston Arts Festival but liked what they heard. They sound very different when they're playing an acoustic set. Viceroy isn't on the album because it's a cover.
I finally drew Otto. It was just Otto on upright bass, Emma on vocals and looper, and Sam on acoustic guitar, while Alex and John were elsewhere, and I actually wrote Emma. Emma and Otto are in a different game set in Ivalice. Obviously there's John Hardin and the heavy carrier Alexander, flagship of the 12th Fleet of the Archadian Imperial Army. There's no Sam, though. I guess there's Samantha.
Oh! The logo on their shirt is a face chain. Emma wrote in a chapbook that we all use each other to create we you are, which reminds me of a passage in Shriek: An Afterword about how each of us are all a marionette on strings but the strings connect not to a maker in the high heavens but to each other.
We didn't get to talk that much because of the music but she told me that she biked there from Cambridge and she bikes everywhere but sometimes she takes the train but we never really encounter each other because we live in different locations.
Boston Shawarma isn't the only place open on Sundays. There's a new place called Verts, at which I bought a wrap with chicken, mixed greens, sumac onions, spiced chickpeas, pickled jalapeños, marinated olives, and hot harissa. It's more like Piperi than Boston Shawarma or Falafel King. I'm not sure what Sultan's Kitchen is but a quick search tells me it's Turkish, but it's noteworthy for me for being a middle eastern place that isn't open on Sundays.
Ludo, Charity, and Karolina were super-impressed with their drawings, especially because they were all drawn between Park Street and South Station, where they got off. Karoline somehow knew I was writing her name with a C and told me it was spelled with a K. A man tried to talk to me about Shakespeare but the train was too noisy and then realized he missed his stop. Carolyn was also super-impressed and thinks that I look about 24 years old.
burning question: Even if he can see the past and clasp the truth, how are we to know if he speaks it? If he can push us to believe anything, how do we tell truth from falsehood?
