genius by birth, slacker by choice
Jogged another quarter of a mile today. That’s twice in a row. I feel the dawn of a new era — an age when I can actually keep my resolutions!
Also: I was going to post some totally awesome Mardi Gras pics, but for some reason the person who took them didn’t upload them to Flickr or elsewhere, they left them on Walmart.com. Now Walmart is being rather Walmart-ish (ie, low quality) and not acepting the username and password I was provided with.
I spit in your general direction, Walmart.
There was something I was going to write and I can’t remember it now. It was bound to have exceedingly interesting…
In other news, today is Mardi Gras! Today is also the day I have failed to assemble a Guy Fawkes papercraft mask. It’s not totally my fault (don’t look at me like that!) because there weren’t any instructions on where to make the folds. And since my brain shuts off when confronted by artistic-type things like that, I couldn’t figure it out on my own. And yes, I know Guy Fawkes masks are traditionally worn on November 5th, not Mardi Gras, but it IS a mask that I think looks cool so STFU. ∗thumbs nose in general direction of internet∗
More things I did today! I ordered a lavalier (I think I spelled that right) microphone from Amazon, as well as a collection of ten inch color gels from B&H. Last Thursday I bought a 500 watt work lamp from the pawnshop (almost brand new and only $8!) with the intention of using it in my movies — hence the color gels. I hope I can find another lamp for cheap; I’ll definitely be checking back at the pawnshop regularly. Later today when I go into town I’m planning on picking up a rheostat (variable resistor) and a short extension cord. Then I will try not to electrocute myself while building a dongle type thing that will plug in between the wall and my lamp to adjust the brightness of said lamp.
As you might have guessed, I gearing up for a movie. It’s going to be very awesome and hopefully actually doable. I had to shelve my last project after realizing that there was no way of doing it without spending way too much money. So in this new one I’m trying to restrain myself from from writing in ten-minute-long fight scenes involving giant robots. It’s hard.
