SoI hijacked Erin's blog today. Check it out over on the sidebar over there -->.
Was up waaay too late last night... but I was hanging out with Erin which always rocks... soooooo madly in love. She made me so happy last night I got teary. How girly is that eh? So to prove my manhood I went down to see Chrys at Bushido Tattoos and Body Piercing on 12th ave and 4th st downtown. Of course, she went with me and held my hand... but that's beside the point. The point is I spent 3 very macho hours in a lot of pain getting the big ancient Cross of the Scriptures from Clonmacnoise. It's a 4m high sandstone cross beautifully carved in the 900s. Chrys did an amazing job on it so far. It looks like 3D stonework. We're gonna add some opaque shading later on when I have a bit more money to make it look more stoney, but its seriously gorgeous. I'm modifying it a bit to put an alpha and omega on two of the rings, but otherwise its a great depiction. It hurt a lot though... not as much as people said it would, but still a lot. Long long three hours. Seriously, can't say enough about Chrys. If you want some good work done, go talk to that guy... highly reccommended. He took some ideas and photos I had of claddagh rings and this cross... not really detailed or anything, and turned them into beautiful portraits. I didn't know exactly what I wanted them to look like till he was done, and then I knew it was exactly what he drew for me.
Anyway, did my tax return... yay... loads o money coming back in... it'll put me 5 months ahead on my debt payment schedule... or... buy me a motorbike. No... debt payment.
Erin's almost done her work here too, so I'm gonna go take more tests on emode till she's finished.
