Waiting till the last minute to burn these DVDs for my aunt. Took longer than expected for more than a few reasons.
I wouldn't procrastinate as much if everything I do wasn't on my computer. Because taking a break just means switching windows.

This is exactly my problem as well!
On my mind:
Earth having 2 moons in my manga story had my scientific friends testing me. It was fun.
Q) How would 2 moons affect the planet's sea levels and tides?
A) During a double full moon an event called 'Hyper-tide' will occur. The sea levels will rise about 18 feet in some locations. Thankfully Earth's 2nd moon has gravitational shielding. A surface generator modifies the moon's gravitational pull and gravity. It prevents hyper-tide on Earth, and planetary tilting.
Q) What is the name of the 2nd moon, and what its purpose?
A) Sundune. The Sundune moon is an artificial moon that projects a planetary shield for Earth.
It's owned by the Chinese empire. Sundune is known for factories, military shipyards, malfunctioning plants, and mass construction projects. Population 600 million.
Q) What are the conditions on Sundune, and terrain type?
A) Sundune is a desert moon. It has an atmosphere made up of primarily nitrogen and oxygen.
Sparse vegetation, and it rarely rains. The surface is sandy & rocky. Lots of sand and dunes. The gravity is similar to Earth thanks to a special planetary generator. Hot days and cold nights... It's always pleasant to find an oasis. Very amazing to see Earth in the night sky.

I'm starting a project restoring my D3 Digivice toy, it's one of these:
Plastic is badly yellowed (and the blue is discoloured), I completely broke the piezoelectric speaker a few years ago by snapping the wires when I was taking it apart due to the battery cover screw being rusted shut, and the buttons are a little stiff.
I'm restoring it as best I can right down to the battery warning stickers at the back.
Ordered some chemicals and a UV lamp to deyellow the plastic, I've disassembled everything (besides two stubborn screws, but they can stay there as it's just joining the belt clip to the battery cover), I've even ordered replacement screws to replace the rusted ones.
I had to melt the bolt out of the battery cover because the screw was so badly worn and stuck (and was the cause of me breaking it so long ago). Hopefully it will look amazing at the end of it.
The clear plastic screen at the front is all scratched though, does anyone know of any technique for getting rid of scratches in clear plastic? Like sanding lightly with wet gritted paper or using some kind of chemical? That's the only thing I'm unsure about at the moment.
If this project goes well, I have two 1998 vpets that could do with a clean (and one needs a replacement key-chain). It would be great to get these old toys back to working order. The vpets would be worth £120 each in perfect condition and the D3 Digivice about £60 (I've spent about £60 so far on restoration materials, still need to order the replacement warning stickers too).

I need to stop telling myself that creating a character in Skyrim that looks like someone from my story is productivity. I already figured out what most of the main cast is supposed to look like, and I did that months ago. In Soulcalibur.
To be fair, I have been typing out some character sheets lately. Seems I'm better at profiling characters rather than showing their quirks and histories through exposition.
