Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

Apparently I have "severe" asthma.
Thank god they still over the counter those $20 off-cure enhalers.

Back to the "severe" part.

"More than 2 asthma attacks a week"
HAH!
If I'm having asthma attacks
they're every night.
And without fail.
For at least 7 days in a row.

Kinda sucks if I plan to start working out again.
I've been cleared.
Month has already passed.
Most days I can swallow without a loud CLICK in my head
and I'm not in a perpetual state of ache and fatigue.

The good news is
if I go get the otc enhaler
and start drinking more coffee

Shabazzle!
I'll be one of those anorexic/body building do-it-yourselfer speed takers.

Cuz speed is wrong
but taking the exact same chemical combinations that just aren't synthisized into one illecit drug in the same doseage

totally different.

Recreational drug tiiiiiiiiiime!!!

*waves hands about*

...
oh what the hell
*runs around the house waving hands*

I may as well act the tweaker part.

I mean sure
being a caffeine tweaker < actual meth or speed.
But... then the ephedrine comes in

*facepalm*
And they wonder why meth is so prollific.

Also
Why the fuck haven't people made custom enhalers an industry yet?

I can get a phone cover
fake eye color contacts
tattoos
scarification
hair dye
jewelry
spray tanning
a custom Zaku I mothafuckas!!!

and not the totally sweet metal inhaler from Casino Royale.

What
the fuck?

... I wouldn't even go metal, but ... I mean come ON
Ambulance striping red?
Or... 1980's off-yellow?

I'm gonna find out if I can... and SHOULD .... custom paint my enhaler.
You better god damn well believe I have the means.

... I'd just have to mask all the parts that come in contact....

Oh

speaking of custom mother fucking zaku i's

The unknown soldier
... cuz ... I haven't named this guy, its my paint job, my design, my back story
is about...
20% done?

I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot.
But, he pretty much needs 1-2 coats of black on
4 parts
2-3 coats of yellow on ... 2 parts (that possibly need 1 coat of primer still)
And...
4 parts are gonna be white (and oh my GOD the primer is NOT getting parts white enough fast enough, I think I'm on coat SIX for one part)
everything else is navy.

2/3rds of the kit is primed.

I think if I'm using a white primer, I can get white
white
by priming gray.

I can prime gray
pretty god damn easy too.

I got 4 coats down today.

*shrugs*
I was motivated.

I do... have a crazy idea.
I want to mask a design on the shield.
But it'd pretty much have to be cut from a single piece of masking tape, or held in place like a stencil, and... *cringes* I'm not confident a stencil would keep the colors from bleeding in.
Not the barbaric way I overspray.

But I know one thing

I don't want my airbrush SHAKING!
