Dull day

[avram]

Got up shortly after noon. Still weighed 282.5. Got dressed, went out, discovered that it was actually a bit too warm for the jeans I was wearing (we’re headed back up towards 90°F weather), had some pizza.

Took the subway up to Union Square, visited NY Central Art Supply to see if they still had those brushes I like so much on sale (Dynasty). They only had one squirrel-hair, and the tip was bent. I bought a pen and a marker. Chatted a bit with the folks behind the counter. Stopped in at the Forbidden Planet on the way back north, discovered that the Sparks collection is indeed a paperback, and $36, but it’s pretty thick. I bought Meathaus #3 (an old issue, but one I didn’t have, of this anthology series) and something called Bazooka Jules: Bumper Edtion (on a whim). Sat in the park and sketched, then bought some shiro plums at the farmers market. Did some more shopping back in Brooklyn (milk, cereal, green beans, cherries, protein bars). That was pretty much my day.

Oh, I forgot to set my VCR to tape Stargate: SG1 and Farscape last night. Grumble. One of these days I’ll have to get a TiVo. Fox is scheduling Firefly (Joss Whedon’s new series) for Friday nights, and if I’m not going to be shackled to the TV, I’m going to need a recording solution that changes the channel on my cable box. I think that may involve calling the cable company and getting a new box. And a new remote, since the current one is full of leaky batteries.
