I am such a peacock. Here I am at my keyboard, trying to hammer out a significant chunk of the 10 page Copyright paper due Thursday, and I keep catching my reflection in the huge mirror I propped up over my monitor last night when I was working on blend shapes (facial expression controls) for my final animation. The angle and the soft, slightly upwards-directed light from my laptop are a really flattering combination, and I keep trying to preen and vamp when I should be writing. Someone needs to hit me with a bat.

Okay. Mirror? Going bye-bye. Mmm, better already! Still the prettiest most distrac--ooh, blinking lights!

Great gravy I'm useless right now.
