Three-legged cricket is living under the stove
Spiders galore. I'm gonna have nightmares about the black widow. I'm pretty sure I had one last night.
Woke up late, to a text from Nica and an email from Bruce
Bruce gave me 15 minute notice about going to Laguna Pueblo to meet two artists with him and Gabe and Gabe's wife, which i declined for many reasons
Amanda came by to pick up everything and yet didn't say hi. It felt like a ghost took all of the stuff, her entire presence is gone from this space.
Christine is cool, I'm learning more about her. Half Filipina, from Memphis, college freshman at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Just got out of a relationship with a 30-something year old, worked at a pizza buffet. Things will be very interesting because she's a cool chick and I don't feel the need to "student fellow" her, no matter how hard Leena wants me to.
Nica picked me up and took me to Jackalope, and I bought a nice small necklace for myself. This creepy old tanned man (part black, Nica says) said "I like the streak in your hair" and Nica said "oh thanks." A few minutes later we're looking at the necklaces and she notices the same guy crouching beside her, with his palm upward and his phone camera on his hand. She immediately goes "WHAT THE FUCK MAN, ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE UP MY SKIRT?" and the guy gets up, and tries to play it off cool, putting his phone up to his ear and pretends to take a call, saying "no, i was answering my phone." And Nica persisted, saying "no, you were taking a PICTURE UP MY SKIRT," letting the others in the store start staring. Of course what happened was very uneventful, no fiery characters were around to step in. A few minutes later, the guy's still pretending to be on his cellphone and says "I really was answering my phone" and Nica tells me "yeah okay, get the fuck away from me." Crazies. Total. crazies.
This is why humanity can't have nice things. There's always someone who ruins it.
After that, we still went around Jackalope, which was a huge outdoors market, reminding me of Udelnaya in Cankt-Peterbourg (Санкт Петербоург) but there were PRAIRIE DOGS! :)))
Sooo cute! Pictures up later, but they were in a little area with a sand mound with a sculpture of St. Francis de Assisi on top, as though talking to the doves.
Huuuge market, must go back for souvenirs and kitschy galore.
Nica went in to buy a cactus or venus flytrap and decided cacti would last longer--she bought a small red one (kind of). There were no cashiers so we walked out with it. Eh haha
After that we dropped by AutoZone again for another run
And then we went on to going to Dante/Zack/Sheena's house, which had a really old colonial stove. It was definitely reminiscent of a shitty TH, a space that has seen too many parties. Got high, met this guy that Nica is crushing on hard and yet is completely clueless. He reminds me of Nick but a more oblivious version that can't stop and listen and read signals. Dante was nice and cute even if he did remind me at first of Chris Bando in terms of looks, but yeah he was nice. He is apparently the son of the Native artist Shonto Begay, and is Dine, and was on Sesame Street when he was 4. "The Life of a Navajo Boy," the special was called. Oh sigh.
After having a beer and a hit at their house, Nica and I went to Burrito Spot and I tried chincharron. It was interesting, but definitely just pork fat. I've never had it but it was good. Though I think for the same of my half I'll stick to real meaty meat for future meals.
Went back to her house to eat, plant the cactus, talk to Nick and then eventually Max and Dylan came. I don't remember half the conversation because I'm tipsy right now but I know I learned to play the game Space Bag Tetherball which involves taking out the bladder bag of wine that is Franzia, slapping it, then drinking from it hanging above your head. Certainly makes it taste better, for whatever reason. We also had $2 pizza and french silk pie, which was delicious, but maybe that's the tipsy talking.
I know at one point I mentioned God of War, and that's when Dylan pointed at me and said "I like this girl." Ha. He was nice to me for the rest of the night, filling my glass of wine but outlining that he was not pressuring me to drink but to let me have something for my tiny body to sip on. Best moment was when he said that "oh it's always the best friends that leave. Like, they came and they adapt and you fall in love with them and then they go, before you find out all the shit and flaws. And you just remember them as good friends" haha yay?
I wore a panda hat of Nick's for the majority of the night, which was nice.
I need to find more music, I need to look up "Kerli," and "Army of Love."
I also need to go into the desert to see stars
Tomorrow Im going into Taos to take photos and go to a toy store with Nica nad Nick
I need to call Tailinh and ask if she needs a babysitter to take her kids to the Children's Museum
Bruce asked if I'd be interested in going to the dances at Cochiti tomorrow, but I don't know how I quite feel about that without formal information and knowing who is going, how long it will take.
I might text Amanda but who knows, we have our paths to follow
And I hope to bond more with my 18 year old housemate, she seems really nice and interesting
July 4th weekend~
