making.

where to begin.......
neighbors, what can i do?
oh.
i ca do what i always do, i guess. yeah. that's true.
but,
what am i gonna do it with?
a plastic barrel-shaped pretzel jug?
i got it. (and i ate the pretzels, too)
super-high-temp hot glue?
got that, too. (and a burn on my finger)
pvc pipes?
always.
craft wood, leather straps, and odd plastic ends?
yes, yes, and yes, y'all......
i collect all the cool pieces,
and i put 'em all together.
so that they transform into something new, better, and expert.
and then i add a light,
to take it to eleven.
in fact,
take a little peeky look at that, via the craft-night-type teleport:

it flickers like fire, and that akes it exxxtra fresh.
because that's how furnaces work, and that's why it has to do what it does.
that way,
it sends all that raging berserker barbarian firepower, an' the rest of that sort of sh!t,
right up into the fancy business housing all the imaginary powers up above it:

word.
oh, yes, friends.
i know that is some silly costume crap.
but, i made it,
and i will wear it, too.
there's a lot going on with this one.
but mostly, though,
it's just supposed to look really cool.
here's a little more of the sides for your face.
one side:

the other side:

yup.
the back view will have to wait until i seal up the box and the wiring.
that's the part that still looks beat.
i mean,
there's really no need to stare at a big hole surrounded by pipes,
even if it does display the proper use of world war II leather straps
on a faux-metal framework of gaskets and tubes...
that'll just have to wait until next time.
anyway,
i'm sure i'll F* with it some more before hallowe'en.
too much is the right amount,
so i pretty much have to keep going on it.
yep.
it's cool, though.
because i really like to make things.
the only b!tch of it all is-
i mostly like to make things that have no real purpose.
just super-fancy unnecessaries for imagination activation,
and dress-up pretend times.
ugh.
what does this big box even supposedly do??
is it a personal time machine?
a portable force field generator?
a pretzel maker?
jeez.
i just don't know....yet.
*
so,
i s'pose i'm making progress.
also,
i s'pose i shouldn't worry too much about not being a capable tailor.
y'know?
i'm sure the super-hot glue gun will be more than adequate for affixing
the baubles and pauldrons and epaulets of a quasi-military adventurer's coat.
don't you think?
what?
you think i should just keep making pumpkin tarts an' that,
and stop with the boring nerd stuff?
ahhh, ok.
duly noted.
...and subsequently vetoed.
it's ALL really happening, folks.
that's the whole point of real-life documentarianism.
the good, the bad, and especially the ugly, which is to say, the dope.
unfolding around me,
and told truly as true stories to the meager readership showing interest.
there isn't anything else.
that's it;
never quiet, never soft.....
