Since I have some time on my hands I decided to learn something new. Namely, lock picking. After several videos and a guide, I gave it a try. Firstly, I didn't have any of the required materials. A tension wrench and the pin (don't know what it's called). I would also need a practice lock, a transparent lock made for the singular purpose of learning to lock-pick. I had none of those. I had a master lock used for gates and baggage and no tools. I decided to fashion them out of chopsticks using my Swiss blade. The result was quite impressive. I surprised myself. However (of course), a tension rod is made in a specific way. Chopsticks can't accomplish that role, even if it is professionally fashioned to be so. So that was a bust. I will have to buy the real tools, I guess.
I am also learning to make stop-motion video. This came out of necessity because my group decided to make an animation for our project. Now I spend every night awake, drawing. I suck at drawing by the way. It is quite fun when I view the finished product. I made a video couple of days back, for practice. The desired outcome was achieved. I am quite proud.
