GJ Willis' Art Notes

This Saturday I did overtime. For the first time ever I arrived at 7AM. I think this little miracle was due to the fact that I decided to stay on my regular work week schedule. I also was lucky to catch a #8 bus that went all the way to Hunt Valley.

After I got off work I went over to the Towson Commons to see the new Fantastic 4 movie. The main reason I’m seeing it is because Ioan Gruffud is in it. As I’ve written before on many occasions I find him to be a rather fine looking young man. Overall, the movie wasn’t as bad as critics made it out to be. I found it to be very entertaining.

I recall reading from a website somewhere that they had to reduce Ioans package because they were afraid that it might frighten small children. I find this little tidbit to be highly amusing. I can’t wait for the DVD to come out. I’m sure that as a special feature if they’re smart, they’ll show at least a photo of Ioan in his super hero suit without the digital reduction.

WHAT I’M WEARING:
Today, I’m wearing green slacks along with a beige Native American-like print short sleeve shirt.

This morning my fire alarm battery went off at around 4:30 AM. Because of this rude awakening I got up a little later than usual. As I was preparing to leave out for work I was feeling antsy due to the incident in London. I finally gathered up enough resolve to leave out the door and face the rainy day.

As I looked across the street at my apartment building I got this eery feeling. Then I saw that creepy man I wrote about a couple of entries ago. He was standing on the steps staring at me like a mental patient. It was pouring down rain outside. He did not have an an umbrella nor make a move to do anything but stare. I feel that this was no accident. If he truly had some place to go at five in the morning he would have attended to his business and not stared back at me like a mental patient. This makes me feel more than anything that it was deliberate.

I hope that he is not a psychopathic killer like the recently caught BTK Killer or an Al Queda operative.

Maybe I should report him to the police? If I called the police, what would I say? “ Excuse me officer, there’s this creepy old foreign man that stares at me in the summer time.”

All I know is that there is something about him I don’t trust. If I come up missing or dead he’s probably the one who would be responsible for it.

I know all of this sounds paranoid but I live alone and that old man scares me that much!!! It’s like he’s always looking, waiting, and watching my every move.

WHAT I’M WEARING:
Today, I have on a brown short sleeve Henley and a print skirt.

Tonight my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of London. It’s a horrible shame that something like this happened just after they had such great news yesterday of getting the Olympics.

Since I regularly take public transportation the London bombings really hit home for me. For the first time it made me realize how vulnerable you are riding on a bus or subway car.

There really are no security checks what so ever. Anybody could be carrying anything on them. Right now I’m feeling very anxious and afraid.

I can barely recall what I did at work today. The only thing I can recall is that I was feeling very hesitant to leave work. I was afraid that what happened over in London would be duplicated over hear in the US.

Who Am I Kidding? It’s not a question of if. It’s Now a Question of When......

WHAT I’M WEARING:
Today, I have on a cream coloured t-shirt along with a black mini skirt that has a cream coloured circle design on it.

The shuttle bus driver we had today was new and looked to be in her late teens to early 20’s. In fact she was so new that she was reading her route off of a handout. When the passengers got on at the Symphony stop she cheerily announced that she was the #26 bus. She corrected herself a couple of times before she remembered that today she was driving the B shuttle bus to Hunt Valley. We all knew what bus she was driving because of the sign on the front of the bus. So there was really no need to make an announcement. Ahhh, newbies! I should also add that a passenger had to show her how to get off the expressway and make it over to the Timonium stop.

Also I believe that the bus fare inspector lady was new as well. She was also very young looking. She kept nervously going over a handout and consulting with the driver who was also going over a handout.

WHAT I’M WEARING:
Today, I have on a purple v-neck short sleeve t-shirt and a purple plaid mini skirt with black slides

I’m not quiet sure if what I am experiencing is lower back or hip pain. I mainly spent the day in bed shoveling down asprin and slathering arthritis cream on my left hip in hopes that the pain would go away.

Then again it could all be psychosomatic in reponse to saying I’d be over my father’s place for the 4th knowing that if I go there there would be all this drama around my sister and her substance abuse problem.

So you guessed it I stayed home instead of going over my father’s house. I love the heck out of my father but I can’t stand my drug addict sister. Going over his house means there’s a 100% chance that I’ll run into her.
