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!

Send some of your rain our way, would you? Drought = bad for crops. D:

I've had days like what you're having a lot. Well, nights. :D I'll make coffee... everyone will be in bed... I'll have the entire night of uninterrupted bliss stretched out before me, and I end up getting sleepy and can't focus. It's a bummer!

Those lighting hacks, like what Jaydee used in her new video, are three shades of awesome... but I know, just know I'd hate them in my own game. Just like the uber-realistic skins and eyes other people have. They look really good in other players' pictures and movies, but if I put them in my game I hate them. I'm sure any lighting mod would be the same way. *shrugs*

This was my day to fail at housework. It's TOM (time of month) for me and it's been awful ever since my tubal ligation (sorry if TMI) so usually the first couple of days I don't do much around the house but the bare necessities. Ugh.

Here's to all of us getting our focus back soon!
