Resurrect dead on planet Jupiter

[tortoisegirl]

So I learned of the existence of the Toynbee Tiles yesterday, and when I saw that there’s a bunch of them in Philadelphia I realized that holy shit, I’ve seen them. At least I’ve noticed the odd squares embedded in the concrete around Center City, but I thought they were just maintenance markers from the water company or something. On my way home from work went to go look for some :D I walked a few blocks down Chestnut and Samson where there are supposed to be some, but didn’t find anything. It was around 5:30 though, majorly crowded with the after work crowd so not the best time to be walking in circles on streetcorners staring at the ground. But I found two on Broad Street! Unexpectedly, just waiting for the light to change at Broad & Chestnut and looked down at my feet and there it was. No time to read it, but I definitely saw the word “Jupiter”, and then there's another one a block up that I couldn’t make out at all. They were a lot smaller than I thought, about the size of postcard. Must continue to look for more during adventures in Center City. I was so annoyed I’d never heard of these before; I love weird stuff like this, and here I’ve been walking over strange mystery tiles all this time and I didn’t know it. Their existence makes me happy.

Also making me VERY happy is that the tattoo I've been jonesing for for ages might happen soon. I got some money for my birthday, and my dad is even buying me a bus pass for April so I don't have to spend the bday money on that, so once I'm absolutely sure tuition is paid off I'll actually have money to spend on, like, things. Which is amazing. I got to talk to one of the artists at No Ka Oi on Saturday with Melanie, and was happily surprised that the price she quoted me was cheaper than expected. I was so bummed at Christmas when I didn't have the money, so I'm ridiculously excited about this :D :D THE TATTOOING IS NIGH.
