I Got Wood
Tonight, I finally got a piece of wood big enough for my life-size self-portrait. I bought a piece of 4×8 plywood and had them cut it into 2 2×8 pieces. This piece is going to be big, and I’ll have enough for another big one. I’m not a large person and the wood probably weighs more than I do, but I’m going to add some embellishments.
Finding someone to help me was difficult (am I fucking invisible?) Once I found someone to acknowledge my existence, everything went smoothly — until I got to my little car. It barely fit; somehow I managed to wrestle it in and close the trunk. It went from the trunk, over the passenger seat, and pushed against the windshield. When I got in the driver’s seat, the plywood was a few inches away from my head. If I took a sharp turn or got in an accident, I would have been decapitated. The chances of either of those were increased because I couldn’t see to my right so well. I like to live on the edge.
I plan to finish this piece over the weekend. I haven’t decided if I’m going include my boy parts. I probably will because it’ll look weird if I don’t. I’m not shy about such things. I’m just shy when I talk to strangers.
I also went to the office supply store and craft store. Nothing interesting happened. I bought a big letter X and X-acto blades (always need more, I go through 2 a night).
I love going to office supply and hardware stores. I can spend hours looking and thinking of things to make. Whenever I’m bored or feeling low, that’s what I do.
