  • Dickery

    If you think about it, there's an entity composed of bad luck, misfortunes, and just plain ol' Bad Juju. All that combined, I decided to name it "Dickery." Why? Because it's a horrible name and it sounds a little funny. Besides, I like giving my problems "people names." 

    Dickery must have took a vacation today because things went unnaturally well. I usually hate making public appearances. I tend to hiss at the prospect of going outside and being exposed to these hideous things I refer to as... people. Hey, don't even get me started on sunlight (it burns). Sadly, when you're an artist, there are supplies that need replenishing. Since my current sketch-card deadline is only a few days away, I was in desperate need of Copic markers. My hand was forced. 

    The bus I usually take to the train station showed up early. I didn't even bother to look up the schedule because, anything you do, you're going to end up waiting an additional 15 minutes. Septa is never on time... but it was there the exact moment I walked out after grabbing a cup of coffee. 

    Catching the train was when I started to realize that my luck might not be as random as I thought. It's the weekend and all the Express trains don't run, so I had to catch the dreaded Local. Usually, the Local makes all the stops, so you can imagine my reaction when I realized the train was skipping stops---like five or six of them. On the other hand, there were passengers that were pissed off because they missed their station. Someone pressed the emergency switch, which was a smart move, I think. If a train is just blasting through the stations, naturally, you would think the driver is incapacitated or something. Anyhooo, some guy was arguing with the driver, getting in his face and all that jazz. Slowed things down. Justifiably so, but still...

    My ride was short thanks to that mishap.    

    I arrived at Blick Art Supplies and the store had a sale on Markers. More good luck. The crazy thing was that I happened to show up at the last day of the sale. 

    I'm excited about this because, well... it doesn't happen. It's rare as fuck. OK, it might be a little boring, but I figured I'd make note of it. When I have a shitty day, I can refer back to this entry as proof of me having a good day outside. It's not everyday Dickery gives me a break.
