Phlange?!
New Lunargyros page was on Tuesday, yo. I'm ahead on pages, but I want to try and get more ahead and maybe do a double-updates month...
Oy, past few days have been pretty busy. We had our first sculpture class on Monday, as we missed the first one because the TEACHER WAS SPENDING TWO WEEKS IN FIJI, DAMMIT. He was a nice guy, but we also got the motherloving truckload list of supplies to get for that class. So Tuesday we spent most of the day going around Hollywood and nearby cities as a big group looking for supplies, and that included hitting up a hobby store, an art store, and three hardware stores. And we still didn't find everything we needed! There was lots of really specific stuff, such as brass tubing, a certain consistency of clay, steel pipes at a particular width, and steel phlanges which were IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND GEEZ.
Also while we were out, I popped into a GameStop near the hardware store and bought myself Trials and Tribulations. XD I'm now in the middle of the second case. (Yes, I play through these things fast!) Loved playing as Mia, although ohgeez, Phoenix, what was that hideous sweater you were wearing. D: Also, Godot is fun so far.
Something I randomly was just thinking about...back when I went to CSSSA in high school, there were several screenings we did of animated films, ranging from famous to indie and bizarre. Only a bare few of these I've managed to see again (such as Primiti Too Taa), but there was one strange one that was merely a massive zoom in and then zoom out...except it would zoom into the details of one painting, only to have those close-up details become another painting, only to have that zoom in and become another painting, and etc. Coupled with whatever music they chose for it, the effect was both fascinating and extremely disturbing...I remember walking away from that screening feeling unnerved and even a little ill. But I kind of want to see it again to see if it'd still have the same effect. I just don't know the title of the animation or its creator. D: Does anyone know if such an animation exists on the internets?
And finally: anyone wanna go see "Cloverfield" sometime with me? I love monster movies. /o/
...Man, I feel like the most boring LJer ever. -_-
Drawing: LG, homework, and various things in degrees of completion...

the epitome of hilarity and caffeinea pretty cool guy. :DbHave you tried Amazon or Ebay for your impossible supplies? It's also possible that the websites of stores (Hobby Lobby.com, Home Depot.com, etc.) might have what you need available for order.
...That film sounds like a trip. o-o
YES. CLOVERFIELD YESPLZ. \o/

Haven't tried it. I think we have most everything, except we're missing a 3/8ths inch steel nipple. (...I don't know why they're called nipples. It's basically a pipe.) I don't know if they'd sell those kinds of things at Amazon, and if they did, if it'd come in time. :/
You wanna go see it with me? :3 I'm free tonight, Saturday night (later) and basically Thursday-Friday next week, too.

...My imagination ran away before you could fully explain just what that was...I'm sorry to say I found it quite hilarious. 8D;;
Y'know, I've had like four people ask me that today. XD CLOVERFIELD PARTY \o/
