Well, I spent the first day of this year mostly lounging around in my PJs and then eating some delicious greasy food at The Anchor, Kentucky’s premiere greasy spoon diner. And since it’s in Kentucky, you can smoke inside too! And of course I have to mention the totally amazing mechanical band they have that “plays” when the jukebox plays a song.
"we may doze, but we never close"
On the way home we passed a tattoo parlor that happened to be open, so I decided to go in and get the little Ohio outline behind my ear I’ve been wanting. I am so excited to have it done, now I want my embroidery tattoo even more!
I now realize that I don’t think I’ve even mentioned my other tattoo. I really like it, but since I mostly wear high-waisted stuff, no one really ever sees it. It is a giant sparrow across my back. I had a similar image that I carried in my wallet for eight years, and on my 21st birthday, I decided to finally get it as a present to myself. My grandpa has two sparrows on his chest from his Navy days that I always liked, so it’s a bit of a heritage piece. Pardon for the odd cropping, it was done for modesty’s sake. :) Interestingly enough, the place I ended up getting mine at tonight is where Chris, the artist who did my sparrow, now works. And Brian who did my Ohio was a really nice, down to earth guy, and my favorite tattoo artist characteristic, a perfectionist. If you’re in the market, check out Mothers!
Anyway, it was a fantastic day all in all!
