I am typing this out cause I need this off my chest. I am SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW cause after a 12 hour day and then a relaxing pint with my manager, I made my way home to find the trains totally up the spout at London Bridge station. Not only had I missed the train I wanted by a minute, I had a half an hour wait. That turned into a 45 min wait due to the delayed trains.
When my train arrived, it arrived short though I was lucky enough to be standing exactly where the door was to stop. After the people got off, I got a seat next to a lady with a small bag in her lap and a box on the leg facing me. I knocked the box slightly and though she was handsfree on the phone, she gave me a dirty look. Noticing she was on the phone but not tolerating the dirty look the following exchange took place:
Me: *said aloud* "You could put the box on the rack"
Women: *stops her call* "It's fragile"
Me: "Ok, whatever"
Women: "You shouldn't be rude to me and if you have something to say, say it to me!!"
Me: "I wasn't being rude, if you put that bag on the rake and put the box...
Women: *interupts* "YOU WERE BEING RUDE"
Me: "Actually, I wasn't but...."
Women: "I'm chattin' to my mum yeah.......these crazy people on the train"
Me: "Now who is being rude?"
Women: "I'm on the phone.......idiot!"
At this point, she continued with her conversation and I looked to see that the train was beyond packed and people were screaming at people to move down where there was no room. There was no way I could move to another seat. This was not good cause I was shaking with anger....or cold, I am not sure but I was shaking!
I shut my mouth though. I took out my ipod, hit a song and sat for 10 min till my stop to think of a way I could piss this women off without causing a scene. Obviously, there were lots of thought about taking her stupid box and stomping on it or throwing it out the window or snatching her iphone out of her hand and then throwing it back at her really trying to ignore the violence that was going through my head that I could never ever put into actual action. I really was upset and angry. It really isn't nice to be stuck sitting next to a person that has insulted you for no reason.
When I got to my stop, I got up. I looked at her till she noticed and looked up at me. I half smiled at her and I shook my head slowly looking at her for about 10 seconds. I didn't see her say anything and if she did behind my back, I will never know cause I had my music on loud enough in my ears not to hear her but I just hope to the higher power out there that it pissed her off as much as I was.
Remaking Prodigy's "Smack my bitch up" in Ableton. Very interesting.
and here is the fruit of the last few days work, a little mousey king receiving his mail :D
the scan is terrible and I will try to replace it with a better one when i figure out whats wrong with my poor old scanner.
I am really enjoying my watercolours again, after trying for so long at the oils I just have to accept that my medium is indeed watercolour and there is nothing I can do about it. lol

Since the majority of our customers at the thrift store are low income I decide to give away a free turkey to somebody for Xmas.I put out a goldfish bowl so they can put there names in there for the drawing dec 22nd.
They have to come in the store to enter so I figured it would also bring in business.I was going to make a attempt to have them come in the store to announce the winner.But this IS Louisiana and people are extra crazy here.They would start shiving each other like it's jail over a damn turkey.
Usually on black Friday here people always get in horrible fights over stuff.Thankfully there was no bad behavior in the thrift store on Black Friday.The only person in the store allowed to abuse people is me!
Even the crazy bag ladies ect that come in behave and the old mad who tried to bicker over Barbie prices is nice as pie once he realized I'm the dominant male in the store.LOL.
It's weird because usually the only people who are annoying in the store are the middle/slightly over class people that come in there.
2 ladies came in and they were just covered in gold they even had gold rings on the tops of their fingers under their fingernails,they were in like their 50's and had the bleached blonde hair and nice clothes ect.They came up with some blouses and asked how much they were.So I told them 60 cents for the pullovers and 70 cents for the button downs.
They actually went to the side of the counter and doubled checked for the ones they just HAD to have.Like 70 cents a blouse would just kill them.
I have been shopping the the store we took over for damn near 20 years and I never worried about how much this and that was in there,because you know if you had a trash bag full of clothes it would run you about 20.00.
I'd be so embarrassed to be a upper middle class person and sit there and pick over blouses for the 100th time because God forbid I pay a extra 70 cents for one I wasn't dead set on.
Hell I have clothed myself and probably half of my alt model friend from that store.I knew if I found a really cute dress ect in there and took it home and I couldn't get my big butt into it I could just give it away to a friend because it cost me less them 5.00.
Hell some of the clothes even ended up with my friend Barb in the UK,because again it was very affordable so if I found something my friends like I'd just get it and not worry about it.Much less if I had gold rings up to my knuckles.
Some more middle class women came in today and put back some brand new baby outfits.Some still had the tags,and it was the little pants,shirt,jacket ect outfits.They put them back because they were a whole DOLLAR.I know nothing about kids clothing so I got nosey today in walmart and saw those little outfits are 20.00 and up new.It's a fucking dollar people.A fucking DOLLAR!
My Xmas wishlist http://www.uglyart.net/uglyshyla/wishlis
it seems that facebook has taken up vastly too much of my time, and I dearly miss my LJ
so I am back.
:D
here is something I painted up yesterday, I am still trying to figure out fur.. and feathers etc..
still needs a bit of work though.
I once found one of these moths on a sidewalk in Dartmouth, but I was unsure if it was alive or endangered so I left it be.. it was well over the size of my hand.
I am doing up a bunch of these little ones for practice.. they are about post card sized.
We've listed all sorts of new gorgeousness in the store. Priority shipping everyday in time for x-mas!!
