Livin' on the Edge

The weekend was wasted to the task of homework. :( Damn homework! For my 3D Design class we were supposed to make something that had to do with a cube form. I originally had this cool idea to make a solid plastic cube and make it look like a fish tank with gravel, plants, and some actual dried fish. Too bad that plastic resin stuff was like $20 a bottle. A little expensive for my budget. Don't want to dig such a hole in my manga fund, now do we? So then I got this idea to use Jello and those Swedish Fish candies. I would put the candies in the Jello and stab them with these stick things. It was good. I had yellow jello, red fishies, and blue sticks to stab them with (oooh; primary!). Too bad when I tried to make the jello the first time I screwed it up. It was way too watery. It never did the jello-tizing-thing. Then I tried to make it a second time. This time it was a success, but too bad the fish kinda dissolve their color over time in the jello. Okay; I could live with that, but then when I tried to get that damn jello out of the cube mold it kind of shlooshed out all over my hands. Definately wasn't retaining the cube form I was aiming for. So then I was screwed. I didn't have any new ideas for the project and it is still due tomorrow. So now I went to the grocery store and bought some meat. I am going to make a cube out of meat. It will be great. Too bad the grocery store was also a mini-adventure. When I went to check out this old lady instantly became my friend for some reason (she was nice; don't get me wrong) and kept talking to me. Then when I went to drive away my car wouldn't freakin' start. I kept having to turn the key and pump the gas. Eventually it did start; so here I am now typing this and wondering how I am going to get that chunk of meat into a cube. It will all come together. I'll take a little picture of it for you all to marvel at. "Ooooh!," you say. "A meat cube!"
