You know when...

[Hagbard]

You know when you've been working too long.. when you pick up the *real* pair of scissors sitting next to your mouse, instead of selecting the scissors icon in Logic ;)

Ah the wonders of sleep deprivation, everything has a green tinge and the walls aren't at right angles anymore.

[JE:5]

ah yes, it's quite funny when the boundries between real and virtual become blurred due to sleep deprivation.

[Hagbard]

The funny thing is I just sat there looking at the scissors and then at the screen for about 10 secs.. trying to remember what on earth I wanted to do.

I've not had it like this since I was playing far too much Quake, I remember side stepping into the kitchen are circling my mother with a strafing movement.

[pongoid]

Oh my...get some sleep, mate.

[Ladytron]

you definitely need that trip to Iceland

[Hagbard]

I will get some sleep.. on Wednesday..

[mdk]

stop whingeing ya fuckin pussy and get back to it...

fookin stoodents

[Hagbard]

It's not all bad, in the past 8 days I've learnt more keyboard shortcuts for Logic than I've learnt for everything else in my life to date.

[love_tempo]

When I worked for a digital photography company I used to find myself constantly mentally using Photoshop's clone brush to remove spots from peoples face's and dirt from walls :)

Working 12 hr shifts at 400% zoom on super high-res photo's of peoples faces is not good for your mental health.

[GodDog]

yes..man.you.should really get some sleep. THAT way you won't need sleep. Yes, thats the thing to do. yep man, thats it.

[bitch one]

keyboard shortcuts are such a pose, it makes people think you're a real expert, even if you're totally shite. i know them all for premiere

[Hagbard]

I never used to learn them on my PC, but on the mac they are a lot more efficient.
Anything that saves time preserves your creative flow innit.

sleep depravation is a strange thing. I remember one time I was up for work at 5 am and worked all day in DC. then me and some friends went up to baltimore for a party and stayed till the end and then drove all the way back to my friends house in the boondocks of virginia. we got there at like 7:30am, so I had been up for over 24 hours with no aid from drugs. we were all sitting on the couch and my friends mom was there talking to us. I was telling her about the party we were at and in mid sentence I fell asleep. :-p
I felt pretty embarrassed when I was told that later in the day.

mate, you definitely need some sleep...
that doesnt make any sense...

[Hagbard]

I know what I mean. Efficient as in you can't get to them features via a right click, you have to trawl through menus. Efficient is the wrong word, granted.

yeah, i used to be pretty into experiementing with sleep deprivation. and staying up for days without drugs. it's pretty amazing - a lot of the "out-of-it" feeling that you get from drugs is actually do to lack of sleep then the chemicals (at least i think so). i wonder if there are long-term bad effects to not sleeping.

[Hagbard]

Just death I think.

Theres a good J.G.Ballard short story about sleep deprivation called 'Manhole 69'.
(that sounds like a film Phil worked on, but it's not)

[GodDog]

shits real for you right down.
