Fuck sleep.
Seriously.
I cooked some greens tonight.
About 4 leaves and a couple branches? of brocolli.
... in about 2 cups of ham gelatin (what? I told you the stuff I saved from baking half of it would set up like a candle, it's got the consistency of jello, the color of RC and the flavor of... well... ham.)
and about 5 cups of water
and 2 cups of orphaned ham
Ham flavored vegetables are still vegetables right?
... could not find the boondocks clip of that line.
Oh well.
Yeah, I let that cook for a bit over an hour in my medium sized pot.
...
then I threw it a party
we had cake
and presents
and funny hats
No idiot I ate it.
It was reminiscent of the "portugese green soup" at MaFarlands here in town (blue hair joint). Only mine wasn't as salty... and tasted more like ham than ... salt.
And I didn't have any brussel sprouts or celery in it.
Oh yeah >>
3 cloves of garlic and a little bit of pepper went a long way with this soup.
I probably undercooked the greens.
Did not see that coming.
But the mythic stomach ache I got seems to be evidence of that.
I could probably just as easilly replace the collard greens with turnip, kale, or something easier to cook and digest like spinach cabbage, brussel sprouts or ... more brocolli
*shrugs*
I've got vegetables though.
And very, very little that needs to be done for the next couple of days.
Err..
well
I need to pay my overdue water bill, update my application and a couple forms for the temp agency, and ... call about that job in Independence.
Hoo boy.
Daunting.
Then thanksgiving.
23 people in my aunt's house.
*sigh*
And I like about 6 of them.
-----------------------------------------------
I've put down 2 coats of light grey on my shield, bazooka, upper feet, upper arms, hands, aaand... whoa, what was the other thing
oh right
waist neck and shoulders.
I'm hoping to free up a few alligator clips and just some general space in the garage when these parts are done.
I still have to freehand a couple masks on the spikes and on the command spire.
and
even after 4 coats, put down some more white on one of the spikes...
lousey
stupid
sharp angles and round shapes and teenagers with their makeout parties.
The light grey may be done
even if I have enough media for another coat.
I'll check tomorrow and see how even it is.
I definitely notice that my parts look less like a toy and more like a model after paint.
What's left?
Mask.
Mix a 3:1 dark grey.
Coat.
... top coat and decal?
Reassemble.
Pose.
Do a lil turn on the catwalk.
