I see naked people
Finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for years — found a local life drawing class and signed up. Just had my first two-and-a-half hour session.
Woo! Have I ever slipped. It’s been thirty years since I’ve drawn from the model, but I was kind of hoping all that other drawing I did would make up for it.
Nope.
Nude models, as a class, are not especially attractive people. Just people who feel comfy being naked and holding poses.
Our lady tonight had a butt-crack tattoo. A single Chinese character. My opinion of her would soar to great heights if it turned out to be the Chinese word for “butt crack.”
When I was in art school, tattoos were unusual — and tattoos on young women were unheard of. But one of our models had one. She was a dumpy young woman with a daisy tattoo’d growing out of her butt crack. The whole class was riveted to that thing. You could walk around the room, and I guarantee you the darkest, most fully rendered object on anyone’s drawing was that daisy.
No, you may not see my drawings. Not until I get a whole lot better.

I’m Batman!
I’m Batman! I’m Batman! I’m Batman! Ahahahaha…I love that.
Now that Batman: Arkham City is about to be released, I was able to pick up Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year edition for, like, ten quid. Because somehow, my unemployed ass isn’t embarrassed to play video games all day, but my cheap ass is too cheap to pay new game prices.
It’s a good ‘un. I like the hallucination sequences best, though the game suddenly becomes a side-scroller and the controls are all different and I tend to walk my Batman over a cliff.
I’ll be perfectly honest with you — I’m not in very good control of my Batman. I’m not getting the hang of the commands. I just mash buttons and hope for the best.
Also — while I’m being honest — I get a kick out of it when Harley Quinn leans over my dead body and chants “loser, loser, loser – ha!”
Hey, if anybody else is on Steam, would you friend me, please? I play as AuntieWeasel. You don’t want me on your team or anything — I’m an old lady with old lady reflexes and I avoid multiplayer like a plague of zombies — but it’s just killing me every time I log in and Steam tells me “You Have 0 Friends.”
Geez, rub it in, why don’t you?
