Instagram

A lot of the entities who follow me on Instagram are business entities and influencers, not 'real people' per se, it is probably programmed, a bot or script of some sort. They follow you and expect you to 'follow back'. It seems to be a custom on Instagram. When you do not 'follow back', they remove you within a few days. It is a photo depository for me, so, I don't care.

In the last few days, I have been finishing up my drawings. I have too many ideas and there were many incomplete pieces that were close to being finished.

I have at least ten more to finish at this point. I will try to finish this last piece for 2018.

Phew! I found my Rotring lead-holder among my brushes. I have been always somewhat careful, thus, it was annoying when I misplaced a thing.

This has been a good year. It has passed extremely fast. There was an emergency earlier in the year but that was settled thankfully.

I had known from the beginning that it wouldn't work, it was quite obvious but I had loved Sweetie all the same, cared for her, thought often of her. I had loved her with all my heart.

This is how life is. Everyone moves on, living. I did. There is nothing more to say.

I lost my Rotring leadholder which I had been using for years. I must have left it at a café. Oh no! What can I do? I called one café up. I will call another tomorrow.

It is almost 2019, I should really order that 2017 OMD album, 'The Punishment of Luxury'. I have put off ordering CDs for a while now.

I did not play Grim Dawn tonight, instead, I spent the night drawing and painting.

I did not make it to Kinokuniya tonight.

I don't go there much anymore. The books are expensive and the place is loud and noisy. The background music is now rather grating.

I used to go there weekly.

Time to go look at gun magazines in a bookstore!

I am painting at Oriole Cafe tonight. I shall vacate my table, the place is filling up.

Bread

I remember buying olive bread for her. Those days are long over, and Sophie Bakery is long gone. In the years that followed, I learned more about bread. If it were today, I would buy bread from Baker & Cook, Crown Bakery and Nassim Bakery for her. I would also buy gourmet cheese and olive oil to go with them.

Dinners

When she had asked me a long time ago about feeding her till she became fat, I didn't say much but of course I would have. It was always evident to me to be loyal to her, even if she had been fat or ugly. It had always been imperative that I would look after her. There was no question in my mind about that. I suppose with many men who are rogues today, people do need assurance.

It has been a few years since I had had dinners with her. I do wonder from time to time if she is eating enough.

I was reminded of her when I saw a couple eating at the next table earlier, the girl was eating happily. Food does and did go to the heart. Oh well, ancient history.
