it feels a lot later than it actually is
also [panda's dumb hermit crabs]


Panda
joe is lurking in the hut. just watching me.

Panda
look, bro, i know i spent most of the summer hidden in my bedroom, but now that temperatures are tolerable again, ur gonna have to deal with me being at the desk

Panda
my drawing muscles are rusty as fuck and this is the only area with halfway decent lighting

Panda
three lights around this friggin desk and its still not bright enough half the time

Panda
sewing is going to suck come cosplay time

Panda
... don't sulk, joe

Panda
u dont get to be mad about me rifling around in ur tank when ur the ones who destroyed it

Panda
/uses plurk to talk to her hermit crabs like a crazy person

Panda
aggy, u antisocial little shit

Panda
come out, spend 2 minutes messing up the food, and immediately retreat back to the hut

Lotusblossom
Haha I so understand this. I was talking to my frogs like 5 minutes ago because they're being creeps and staring at from hiding places like your crabs

Lotusblossom
Also the light thing

Lotusblossom
It sets like there is never enough to draw

Panda
silly small animals, stalking their humans

Lotusblossom
It makes me wonder was school so much brighter?

Panda
ii think it was. and the florescent light makes a difference too

Panda
and the walls were all white

Panda
i hate overhead light. it gives me a headache after a while if i dont wear a hat or something, but gdi, my kingdom for proper lighting while im drawing

Lotusblossom
Yeah I hear that

Lotusblossom
When I am at my desk I get right up next to the lizard tank to steal light from it

Panda
ive got a standing lamp that gives off good light for normal stuff, but ive got two smaller lights for when i want to draw. one clamp one that i point at the ceiling (because its white and reflects)

Panda
and an led one that stays focused on the desk

Lotusblossom
That is quite the set up

Panda
panda's cobbled together ikea lighting mess~

Lotusblossom
I just have an old overhead light that is faulty in the kitchen and burns out all the time because of it and the lizard tank

Lotusblossom
I should get a lamp like you

Panda
i got this little thing


Lotusblossom
I had a bendy clamp on lamp but it was old and lost its bendiness and just dropped down

Lotusblossom
That's pretty cool

Lotusblossom
So nifty

Panda
small, but bright as fuck, and the way my desk is i can set it off to the side and out of the way, but the light can still bend over where im working

Panda
because my desk, while not super great for drawing, is kind of a giant monster
