Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

Ack...
well...
I'm about finished with psychonauts (fun as hell!)
and I just masked my spikes and command spire.

...
I don't think I did a good job on it
didn't put down a good seal
and
then I tried cutting the excess with my exacto knife.

I cut into the paint.

Fuck.
So there's about 2 square mm's missing on each spike.

I've tried to touch it up with a Q-tip and a couple drops of my primer.

The first coat didn't stick so great.
May have to ... spray
again.
Swear to god I'm never going to be done priming.
*sigh*.

We might not even be done after that.
For serial.
Gloss coat?
Decals?
... how is this going to fit together with all this extra material on?

I don't know.
Why are you asking me?

We've got at least 24 hours before the first dark grey goes down.
Got folks over for the long weekend, and I need to let the primer set
again.

Whot else.

Thanksgiving.

I cleaned the bird and snapped off the wings.
Seasoned it per my mom's instructions.
Made 2 pecan pies per my granny's instructions.
Prepped about 6 onions and a whole celery plant which was... suck
snapped green beans
quartered mushrooms

... then I made turkey and noodles.
With what we had left of the carcass
a few scoops of gravy
some leftover chicken broth
and some frozen noodles my mom gave me about a year ago.
half an onion, some carrots and celery

we boiled the carcass in the veggies, drained it, stripped the bird, chucked the vegetables, added broth and gravy per flavor checks and boiled the noodles and meat in the stock.

It was awesome.
Some people eat it on mashed potatos.
I usually have my first bowl without any.

The noodles were gummy and inferior, but the rest was so rich and yummy that it didn't even matter.
