CREATIVITY

It took me four hours, but now have a London Underground map on my wall

This all came about rather stupidly, but it's fantastical to me. There was an XKCD comic that outlined when all the LotR characters - as well as characters from other movies - met each other and where

First, I thought I'd copy it. No way

Second, I thought I'd make my own for some other movie. Labyrinth. I don't know. Whatever. Didn't do that

Then, the wife mentioned that we could do maps from our respective summer cities

Turns out the tube map is WAY easier to do than New York subway map.

So, I drew it

I filled in all the stops

And I have a working version of London's tube on our living room wall

I like being creative like this. It takes up such a big portion of time, so I don't feel like I'm wasting away my Saturday night, watching shitty movies on my ass. I like to distract myself and this was a fantastic way to do it

Though, once I start a project, I tend to like to finish it the same day I started it. It took me WAY to long to do this stupid project. It's fulfilling now that it's done, but I just wanted to get it frickin' finished two hours into it

I'd have other news, but my life is boring as of late. w00t w00t for that

take it easy. don't die. don't get raped
