googly-eyed guy
That guy seems friendly enough, like he’d be happy to take your order for some eggs or maybe a slice of pie and a cup of coffee. The place seems organized pretty well – skillets hanging in size-order, cases of soda stacked neatly – and clean, too, with a sink right there to hold the dirty stuff.
But there’s something about his eyes that makes me a little nervous.

is that really how tattoos work?
“Between the lines” tattoos make me think about my attempt at being a Real Artist™ by doing a paint-by-number set. I believe that experience broke my brain, because even now I don’t understand how painting works if you don’t have outlines and numbers and go all the way through painting one color before moving on to the next and the next. The idea of a blank canvas where you can paint ANYTHING YOU WANT makes me need to lie down.
