I also have been playing around on my breaks with painting caboshons with something other than dragon eyes. They kind of work. My friend says I should call them mermaid stones. We'll see. I have no idea what to do with them.
Ok...back to the grind.
Time goes by so fast. I have so much to do, so little time. I have still not gotten the test sequence shot for he dragon eyes. I need my incandescent flashlight for the right color and amount of lighting for it, and when I went to film the flashlight had stopped working. When I unscrewed the end, about an inch of water dropped out. I have no idea how that much water got into it. I didn't drop it in water. It is a maglite, so very water proof. It is not damp here. I have no idea how that much water got inside it. I have never had to worry about it before. Worst that has happened in 10 years is having to replace the batteries. So I had to dredge the interwebstubes for one to replace it. Do you know how hard it is to find a flashlight that is not LED? LED is the wrong color and light texture and brightness. I understand it takes less batteries and is brighter so is better for camping and stuff, but it won't work in this application. I finally did find one on page 20 of Amazon search. I got it in the mail Friday. After I catch up on coursework I will try some test sequences. I will have to wait until it is dark too, cause I have tons of windows in this room, and the blinds are not enough blockage. At least till close to dusk. But I have a math course I need to complete, and I have been having issues making myself do it. It is not hard. I get it. I just don't want to do it in any way shape or form, and it will not forward my degree, so I am having issues making myself do something that feels pointless. It is a hoop, and that is it. And I have no patience with hoops. They waste my time. Technically I could leave this course till my last term, but I won't be any better at making myself to it then, so I am not letting myself progress in my degree until I finish the final for that class and pass. It is getting close tot he end of the term, just 16 weeks left, so I am hopinh that panic will be enough to get me moving. I am also not letting myself get distracted by fun stuff. Like filming. I really want something to submit for Anglicon. Another motivating factor. I can balance after I do the class I really, really really do not want to do.
