Stress Relieved
I‘m finally done all of my projects for 3-D. At least, for now. :P I completed my decadeltahedron/icosahedron model finally~! That only took three hundred and something years. It consists of eight of each deltahedron in a nice, even circle. :3 Pretty nifty if I do say so myself. Almost all of the shapes are sealed with “Magic” tape (which, btw, isn’t so magic) except for that stupid one that had to leak hot glue on my leg. According to Kaitlin, my leg looks worse than it did when I first got burned. Oops? Ah well. The one on my calf looks like a hunk of flesh is gone. xP In class I kept poking it and Kaitlin goes, “If you keep playing with it, it’s going to rip open and you’ll get black paint in it!” Psh. =D Yeah, it could happen~ I couldn’t resist poking it, though.
Anyway, I also got the… Well. I don’t know what it’s called, so I’m going to call it the deltahedron frame. I did, of course, the decadeltahedron. That and the icosahedron are my favorites. (Can you tell?) I hope Ms. Johnson likes it. =D I worked hard on it~! ;_______;
I also finished the serial planes and that other masonite/dowel thing I had to do. Of course, the latter merited another dumb Michee moment~ I went to Michaels (why isn’t there an apostrophe in the name Michaels???) to get some more 1/8″ dowels for that project since I ran out of the ones I bought from Katharine. Well, I get there and can’t find them. Naturally, I start browsing. I was actually also looking for a multi-pack of Microns like the ones I bought from Utrecht (I swear, they have me under their thumb there) but they only had singles and the singles weren’t even open stock. D: So anyway, I’m looking at the less than mediocre selection they have of the Microns when lo and behold~ SHARPIE MAGNUM catches my eye. =O So I’m standing in the aisle, looking like a stupid nerd going, “Whoa, nowai…!!” I look around and quickly swipe one off of its hook to read the packaging. Whooooaaaaa… So I take another one. They were seriously five dollars each, but I’m sure they’re going to be worth it.
I finally realize that the more time I waste at Michaels googling over stuff I don’t need but will eventually buy anyway will reduce the amount of time I have to get stuff done. So as I’m walking back up to the front, this beefy (okay, jiggly, jaggly, whatever), long-haired man strolls by. I stop him and ask for directions him if they sell dowels. Of course, idiot me looked in wood crafts rather than…the Styrofoam aisle? -___-* Okee. So I go up to their broad selection (they had eight sizes….) and find the 1/8″ dowels. I grab ten and run to the front to check out. At this point, I realize that those dowels look a tad too large to be the same 1/8″ dowels I bought from Katherine. (I really hope I’m spelling her name right.) I disregard that fact and get home…
…Only to realize that they ARE indeed too big. So I start sanding…and sanding…and sanding. Finally I whine to my dad about my dowels and he did the unthinkable… No. He didn’t spank me. No. He didn’t burn my dowels… No. He says casually, “Well. Do you still have the reciept?” *facepalm* I do. But I’m not going back. No way. Long story short, I ended up going to Lowe’s (now THAT name has an apostrophe!) and getting ten new dowels. =D And these were way better than Katharine’s only because I didn’t have to sand them. :3
My eyes are tugging at my eyelids, but I have to do my 2-D homework first. This will be an early night hopefully. Not another 1 AM night~!
