Waking up & Reflecting too early on a Wednesday

Had really good waffles at a coffee shop in ktown with kitty last night.

I realized my Dorian Gray obsession was getting more serious when I mulled on getting home that my name is also the same number of letters and syllables (people with three syllable first names happen to be more successful, fact. thats why my brother and sister have the same similarities to DGs name)
Dorian= 6 letters Gray= 4
Andrea= 6 Chen= 4

There are so many sketches I havent been able to scan since the weekend. So frustrating! CS and scanner need to be fixed asap. I would also like a lightbox (or projecter, so a lightbox that projects) and wacom tablet.

Someone recommended I watch the movie "Claire Dolan", so I looked it up, and really loved this part of Roger Ebert's review. Just a really nice little excerpt.

"There is a scene in the movie where she is seated in a bar, bothering no one, not looking for attention. Two men walk up. "I'm not looking for company," she says. "That's not your decision," says the first man, who is aggressive and menacing.

She seems in danger. She looks up at the man who is looming over her, his aggression pulsing in his face. Then she looks at his sidekick, who hangs back. "I prefer him," she says. "He's better-looking than you. Would you let him go first?" The scene is no longer than my description of it. It is just about perfect. She has changed the subject. She understands the tension that must exist between two men who have agreed to harass a woman. Beneath their relationship is a fear of women, which links to sexual insecurity; she has castrated the first by preferring the second, and called the bluff of the second by depriving him of his leader. The men are stopped cold, and skulk away."

Another someone recently put down Madonna to me in conversation, and I secretly got a little hurt. I do not think she's psycho. I think she's someone from a small town who came to New York and was really ambitious and went through a lot of shit, and it made her the way she is. Or maybe she was always that way. I think this is one of the moments I first started to like her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBTl611c9fs
