Once again I find myself awake at 2:40 am. Because the wife talked me into taking a nap with her this afternoon before the movie, I am now 100% wide awake. Since she’s sleeping, I can’t really do anything useful (like cleaning) or fun (like MythTV), so I’m stuck knocking around on the Internet with nothing to do.
I’ve been playing around with a few programming project ideas in my head, but I lack the desire to start on something because of the gross amounts of development we did this week at work.
I’ve been slowly getting back into my prop replicas, my training remote is at a standstill because I can’t bring myself to give up on the two-part molds that I made and one of my original parts may have fallen victim to the molding process. If I were to break down and build the remote from the parts I have now, I would have to use some originals. This makes it difficult to go back and re-do it later, because these kits are getting pretty rare (like one on all of Ebay).
The other project I’m going to start is The Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter 3. I liked the prop in the films and I have many of materials I would need from another project that I never started. Plus it’ll be a fun one to get Tasha in on, since she loves the books as much as the movies. The hard part on that one is going to be finding proper fur. The eyes and teeth I can probably sculpt, and the rest of it is basically putting a book together.
That’s all I can think of to update now… maybe something interesting will happen tomorrow.
