Indecisivity and Frustration - an official update on A02

I was originally going to title this post "i miss california" because what the heck, I do, but I thought that might be pushing it with the professionalism of this blog...perhaps best to keep most of that kind of stuff to my personal blog. Then again, I highly doubt anyone is going to be reading this except maybe the instructors and a very small number of my classmates so does it really matter? Then again then again, it IS a blog and not a portfolio, and blogs are for writing too, right?

Progress on A02

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend as much time on this project as I've wanted over the past week, so I'm feeling a bit behind on the baffling waffling (it's not baffling, I just wanted to use that word because it's a visual rhyme but not a phonetic one, which is somewhat related to what we were just reading about in LING). I made some progress today in class and gave some thought to what I want to waffle, but I didn't quite get to the point of making the interstitial pieces yet. I feel like I might have some trouble with the actual notched pieces but I can't say that since I haven't gotten there yet. We'll see.

Something that's been nagging at me for a bit is how to deal with the wire cut section of the cube, which is floating all along one upper edge. I really like the two-partedness and the crevasse, but gravity will certainly not agree to display it as proudly as I'd like. An option is to turn it on the side so that the two pieces will rest flat against a surface and the crevasse will go vertically, but that changes the whole idea of the cube. I added a dumb donut to stick the two sections together but I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I realize that this indecision will probably set me back quite a bit but hopefully I'll be able to spend some more time on this towards the end of the week.
