a) I never knew what the Light Fantastic was referring to. I should look that up some time
b) I made nothing this weekend. Well that’s not true. I made a German Chocolate cake. From scratch, because that’s how I roll. I didn’t make that light I had been writing about. I lost inspiration momentarily. This brings up why I make stuff sometimes.
I make stuff because I want to. I sometimes have a purpose for that which I make. If the purpose is removed, should I still make? Due to the time based purpose, this situation is an even bigger dilemma. Due I make for the next handy purpose as purposes are relatively regular. Due I make for the making alone and toss in a corner. Now that the sudden inspiration has been delayed, die I just move on. In between bouts of gaming, I really pondered this. Why do I do what I do?
I probably make my box at some point. I’ll then throw it on a shelf shelf as a curio. If I ever need it, I’ll have it. Otherwise, it’ll be one project done. Next project.
