Just whining...

So I finally have a stretch of uninterrupted time to work on the story this evening, but the scenes I need to shoot are just too involved. I don't feel like doing it. I need to create sets and get the right clothing, etc., and it's just feeling like too much hassle. My brain feels like mush; I can't even figure out how to get the bunkbeds out of the Grand Trianon Collection (I could have sworn there used to be metal ones there, but I can't find them). This is a bad sign. Maybe I should work on some of the scenes that are more immediate. Where's my focus? It's gone. Brain = mush.

I wanted to use Gunmod's Radience Light System for one of the scenes, but I have to confess that the instructions for installing it just confused me and I think I'm chickening out. What if I can't take it back out? I guess I'll have to just leave the beautiful and dramatic sim photography to the people that are actually good at it and settle for being competent but unremarkable.

Verdict for today: massive fail all around. I might as well get out a raft and float down the street to pass the time instead (yeah, it's raining like crazy here). Whhheeeeee!

"How Strange Got Her Groove Back" ... that would make a better movie, actually :D

No, any movie about me would NOT be that exciting, trust me. :P

Though I did have an interesting night last night. It was the closing of the summer theatre festival, and we went to the gala, which was pretty fun (though the highlight had to be the moment my SO pointed out how much the piano player looked like a penis, and it was completely true! I laughed my head off at this penis guy all the way through a touching ballad, while trying not to be heard by other people).

Then afterwards, we stopped by the local pizza house for a late-night snack. This place is so awesome, let me tell you... Just so much history and it looks like no other place in the world (read: ugly), the woman that serves you curses like a bloody sailor, the food is cheaper than it would be if you bought the ingredients and made it yourself, and it's ALWAYS busy in there. Just awesome.

Then this guy that my SO went to school with came in and had an embarrassing honest drunken conversation with us (he was drunk, not us - drunk enough to be seeing things, I'd say). It was one of those very "real" moments you file away for future reference in your writing.

Anyway, I'm really rambling now. :P Hopefully, you were slightly entertained.

Wow, that does sound like an entertaining evening! If I ever visit you, you *must* take me to the pizza house. That sounds like something I would love. ^_^

What does a penis man look like?!
