Though I don't recall any others here, this would be one of those artwork entries CF mentioned in his own blog. But the last two paragraphs move away from that quite a bit. For the last few nights (not meaning consecutively, but meaning on some nights when there is time), I've been doing a paint project. Movies make great time to do this, as watching the movie only gets quite dull. The first night (I think it was 1-27, but unfortunately, memory has already failed me in this matter) I took some wooden playing pieces, then orange, and colored them green. The paint takes 4-5 coats, so it took a little. I was very pleased with the results, though. Tuesday (1-29), there was a book to read, so I sat down with the red chips and purple paint, ready to finish these up. Now, being careful not to get blobs, I had to put it on fairly thin as I had with the green. The first 3-4 coats went alright, but I noticed that this paint (new), was very different from the green, and had a few faults. It was thinner, and came off easily (even when it felt dry). I'll have to do them again, I think (plus, I never did finish). Unfortunately for me, Wednesday, one of the most free days/nights in the entire week (plus I had school done by 460 md [11:00] or so), I did not paint. I don't know what caused this to slip my mind, with the paints there and the movie duller than ever. I felt very tired during the movie actually, and had to sit up a few times to make sure I stayed up. For one of the first times in a while I went to bed at 875 md (21:00). While in my bed this morning, used to be woken up by my mother at around 320 md (~7:45), I was just sitting there in the lighter-than-usual room. Eventually, I looked at my watch (by the bed), to find it was 360 md (~8:44)!! Now, last week, getting Spanish done by 460 md (~11:00) was an accomplishment, with waking up at eight, so getting Spanish and Math done by the late time of 480 md (~11:30) shouldn't have bothered me. But honestly, when one goes to bed so early, one ought to get up at a decent time.

My mom and sister (B) ran into a deputy while they were out and about (uh, no, not with their car. If that were the case, the following probably wouldn't have come about). Checked with him about airsoft laws. It seems my state, county, or city has any. So basically I just have to follow the federal laws; and common sense when dealing with replica firearms. He also told my mom about a bunch of stuff I already knew from researching and reading at various forums and websites. Though when they mentioned him bringing up competitions and events, I really thought and hoped he meant local ones, but it would seem not. So yeah, now I just need to think of a good number of places to play (as backyard airsofting isn't a great idea). They would need to be accessible and usable during all seasons (in Idaho those would be Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction) as well. Hopefully a guy at my dad's office will be interested in the sport and we can get to play on his property.
