I looked through my script and through the book and I couldn't find anything I needed for this video. The drawers idea looks awesome, but has some serious altering that is needed and I am too tired to do that today. It shows you how to make a dresser or drawer cabinet with matchboxes. They use the large ones. I have the tiny ones, though they are still a bit big for my 1-1/2 inch guys. I would need to cut them in half length wise and width wise, which would lose the drawer-like quality of the matchbox. I need to go to the dollar store to get some groceries anyway, so tomorrow I will see if they have smaller ones. If not, and I have the energy, I will see if I can take one of the matchboxes apart and make a shrunken pattern from it.
So instead I tried to make a mini replica of my David Tennant era Sonic Screwdriver. Here are the results, for better or worse:

 Here is the original.... |  And here is my attempt at a replica. |
Yup...the original is 7 inches, and my replica is just over half an inch. it is kind of hard to see. The top has blue paint on it. I plan to enhance that with GIMP magic when I do the actual shooting. the original has a blacklight on the end that glows blue. It order for it to glow I pretty much decided when I wrote the scene that it was going to have to be enhanced. I may try to do another one, just to see if I can get it carved better. I really am not a sculptor. It was completely square when I started.
And I did this:
And I did this:
That is going to be the remote control. I haven't decided if I am going to attempt to add button like things or not. It is so very, very tiny.
And that is all the energy I have. I was up until 3am last night. Stressing about not having a job yet is effecting me in a big way. I had to get up this morning, though, to fill out applications and resumes. I think I did ok with them. I hope I did not say anything stupid in my sleep dep state. But I got a few in for places I really want to work, so please send good vibes from wherever you are. Employments is a must. At least the cancerous looking lip scab is gone, though I still can't move my lip correctly.
Ok, lastly but not leastly, you can still go vote for my Douglas Adams Video. Ten more days and voting will be done. I just wanna know already. Apparently grouchy tired Eleanor is grouchy and tired.
EDIT: OK, I had to do it. I took pictures with the guy and the Sonic Screwdriver. Here's the best one. Look at these pictures, though, seems I am going to have to take a whack at making another one. The black part split.
