OK, have much work to do. Don't wanna though.

We will be the same with this today.

What is even happening?

I think you'd have to build some sort of mold for it David, and you might have to/want to do it in sections. I think I'd handle it by wanting to make it out of other materials (papier mache, maybe) or not at all (my favorite way of doing things).

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'd say the mold is the way to go if you're talking concrete. You can find small molds and design one yourself from them.

Notice how we have no need to ask, "why a giant, concrete brain?"

Why would we ask such a silly question?

This is the same response I have for people who ask why I keep hockey pucks in the freezer.

Hee. Yeah, I never for a moment wondered why--although I did propose shirking, just on principle.

I wanna be done working. I'm so tired of studying for stupid tests. Why can't it be Wednesday afternoon already t /whining

Okay, I guess the sooner i get started, the sooner I'll be done.

Gronk. Subbing today.

Man, I worked at the theatre from 1:30 to 10 pm. It sucked, and I didn't get much sleep, and my brakes are fucked. At least subbing today is easy, and I get done at 2:05, and can take my poor car directly to the garage and get it worked on.

Coding and Sleeping

I made through the weekend although I was sick the whole time. Leif composed a new song, "Down, down, down, down, I sing down, Oh Yeah!". Emaryn was my work buddy this weekend as I finished stage three of the backyard spaceship. I cooked, cleaned (though not enough, but it was too nice to be inside), went grocery shopping, fixed my grandfather's computer, and my wife wasn't angry at me the whole weekend.

If you wanted to make a giant brain out of concrete, about 2 feet long in the longest direction, say, how would you go about doing it?

The easiest way would be to carve a mold of a brain in wet sand, but that won't get you very crisp outlines. Another option is to make a model of half a giant brain, probably out of clay, and use it to make a plaster mold. A concrete brain of that size might need reinforcing. I guess you could put in some wire mesh as you go or get a reinforcing additive. You probably want to use something like topping mix that doesn't have gravel in it.
