It always happens doesn’t it when you’re stressing out that things aren’t getting done. The computer decides to pack up and stop doing anything. The Laptop; which I was using to do the Blender work on, has decided to die on me. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but it refuses to open Adobe Premiere. And Blender is extremely slugging on it.Some good news though, I got some memory for the MacBook so it’s a bit speedier now Happy days… or not. You see, in order to use Blender efficiently, you need a key pad. You know, that thing on the right hand side of a standard keyboard that you never know what to do with. I do have one for the PC Laptop, but it doesn’t work for the MacBook. I am getting a Mac Keyboard with key pad for Christmas though. So I can use that as an excuse for not doing anything on the Showreel project.

Not that I’ve had any time to do anything. I’m running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything sorted for the big day. First Christmas with my Girlfriend and we’re doing it ourselves! Gulp!! I’ve made Christmas dinner before though, so it’s not a problem. I used to cook for a living at one point. What a change from cooking to Special Effects – I dunno which is more stressful though…

Well, I hope you all have a great Christmas and get all that you desire. I’m off to defrost the Turkey!
