And unrepentant. In my eyes, the bare human body - specifically the opposite sex

- is quite sexy on its own without the need for symbols stuck to its skin or foreign objects planted into it. My completely personal opinion, of course.

piercings i'm not down with except for earings. for myself that is.
i live in the piercing capitol of the freakin universe.
but for myself, no.

tattoos now...different thang altogether.

marking things. moments. insights. memorials to life. allowing life to mark you.

i tell you, i watch Miami Ink. yes i do.

cause i like to hear the stories of the peoples tattoos. why they are getting them. what they mean to them. (lotta koi fish tattoos in miami)

i have a small one. they're kind of addictive.

and of course...my favorite Bradbury, The Illustrated Man.
(eek. rod steiger still gives me the willies in that movie!)

i'm blathering aren't i.

My GF says that if your body is a temple, you should decorate it.

As most of you know, I'm tattooed with the same stylised Eye of Horus as is in my Edgetar. Not pierced though except for three small silver hoops in my left ear, and not really planning on any.

The GF has a couple of (pretty large

) tattoos, and a tongue piercing. She used to have quite a few facial piercings too, but she outgrew them.

Got up early this morning to come in and start making my first samples for project work using the HiTUS plasma sputtering apparatus, and after the first one gets done successfully and the second one is half complete, we get a fragment of sputtered material on the target and have to vent the chamber to remove it; only, there's no Nitrogen left in the tank, so we have to call out for a technician to bring in a new one, then work out how to get the machine to continue venting, remove the fragment, and pump the chamber again, which will take a couple of hours.
So, I was in at 9am, out by 11, and now I have to wait around while the the chamber is evacuated so we can start work on the third sample.

I have a singlr tattoo on my right shoulder...it a bird that also looks like an eye. I have two piercings on my left ear that no longer sport earrings...though I think they haven't grown shut. My domestic supervisor has suggested strongly that i not wear the earrings.

They don't let you change the cylinders yourself? Ack! I'd be screwed all the time if I had to wait for someone to change out gases for me. Yes Murrin, welcome to the world of research!

G'Motrnign Lorelei! I need me some coffee!

Post by **Lorelei** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:16 pm

Got me a whole bunch here Guns....but I am more than a few minutes drive from you so I can't help ya out.

I think I wrenched my back this morning working out....that'll teach me to take care of myself.

Post by **A Gunslinger** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:20 pm

That it will. Stretch out before working out!!!! That is my unsolicited advice for you! Now that football season is over, I am going to get back to the gym myself!

Well, in an hour and a half I'm going in to get my wisdom teeth pulled out.

They gave me some pre-surgery valium. I've never taken this sorta thing. I feel kinda funny. I'm supposed to take one more in about 15 minutes. I'm not sure if I want to. I don't like feeling funny.

After that, it's to the doc's and they'll pull out four of my teeth. Yay!

I suppose the valium is making me less nervous that I would normally be, but I'm not freaked out about the surgery. I'm freaked about what I have to do after that... gauze and stuff and blood and blah. I'm not excited about that. Maybe they can give me valium for that, too.

I don't think this post was as coherent as it could have been. I blame the "happy" drugs.

Anyway, wish me luck?

Valium? They gave me Percocet.

The whole experience really wasn't that bad.

Good Luck! The beauty of wisdom teeth are that they impart no wisdom. They are really, teeth of contextual opposition.

If you want a really good laff, Ask you surgeon "Is it safe?" See how he or she reacts!

LOL!!

Was planning on asking them if they could whiten my teeth while they are at it... we'll see how that goes.

Valium #2 down. I'm hungry and they won't let me eat

I feel cold as hell, and it's only 51 degrees. I actually miss my body fat for once.

Post by **A Gunslinger** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:26 pm
