we were comrades once

yamamanamaGabi, who spells her name many different ways, has a ring depicting a stag’s head and a necklace with three pearls.
Isabella has never been to the Gardner museum. Her bracelet has a cube with the sigil of Belias, which I always mix up with Chaos, because, hey, rams have horns and so do bulls, and her pendant is a chunk of abalone shell wrapped in copper wire. And I'm like “Oh, I know what those are.” And I don’t actually know what an abalone is because I thought it was some kind of bivalve mollusk and not a gastropod.
Mathilde is a performance photographer. I think she has a French accent.
Adrienne’s father is a painter but she says she did not inherit his talent. Because there was a guy on a train wearing a Deadpool Taco Surprise t-shirt, I thought that her tennis rackets were katanas.
A woman was reading the same exact edition of A Wrinkle In Time that I have. The kids are riding a centaur with a rainbow projected between his head and tail. The sky is clear and blue and there are flowers and leaves and an insect in the foreground. Most of the images I found are either too small or are attached to another image.
She says she hasn’t read it in a long time.
A woman had pale teal hair. A man had green hair.
There's an exhibition of Adam and Eve prints and of drinking vessels in the shape of animals and of the art of Théodore Géricault.

There are twelve of these drawings, all very similar.

(It's a new acquisition and I guess they haven't gotten around to photographing it yet. It's a bathtub. But here's a picture I found on Twitter. The work in the background is 50 U Heinrich-Heine Straße by Wasmuht)
Rachel Whitehead - Untitled Grey
She's famous for making a cast of a decrepit Victorian terrace house which was the last on its row to be torn down, which stayed up for 11 weeks and all that's left of it is a shitty photograph on Wikipedia. She knew it would be ephemeral so there's no point in dwelling on it.

This was on loan from the Clark Institute, where I went on a field trip in high school (and also to the MassMOCA, which I’m pretty sure I told you about), and at first, it looks like a blurry colorized photograph.
If for whatever reason, you haven’t seen this painting, here it is.
Someone told me that Europeans are very adamant about trains being on time, as we all know (I didn’t, although I did know that Japanese are also very adamant about their trains being on time) and Monet dressed in a tuxedo and told the stationmaster that it will be well worth it if he just let them delay the trains by half an hour and even stoke their engines to produce smoke.
My PS3 controller died, and, by died, I mean that 1) the controller doesn’t function at all when unplugged 2) when plugged in, the battery level is – and the buttons take a few seconds of holding before they register and I’m not sure what the control stick is doing but Tidus runs towards the camera and 3) won’t connect to my computer at all but on the other hand, I can use the keyboard to access the menus, which leads me to believe that it is the controller or maybe possibly the cord or maybe both and 4) will sometimes rumble when connected to the PS3 which leads me to believe that humidity is to blame, and I’m going to take a gamble and hope I don’t buy a cheap knockoff where they spend so much effort on the outside that they forget there’s stuff on the inside.
Ashley’s presence didn’t do much to improve my mood. It’s funny because this is the first time since she got back from Europe I actually wanted to talk to her, even if my reasons aren’t entirely selfless. And every time I think that maybe this time will be different and she’ll say hi to me or whatever and every time, it’s the same thing.
Overcast skies and rain don’t help either.
While I was writing this, my internet connection shit itself. Thankfully, it was merely annoying and not expensive and the autosave was nice enough to preserve most of the post.
burning question: would anyone bother to sell a cheapass knockoff controller as used? It seems to me that they’d sell it as new.
