Tut Update - In The Beginning

The tips of my fingers a so sore and I haven't even put the official first pixel piece on the Tut puzzle yet.

All of the pieces, aside from a few colors that I only have 1 stick each of, have been cut and twisted off of their sticks and are now stored in mini Tupperware containers. Most of them were yanked off while wanking off to the third Presidential debate. The left over sticks were used as trackers for how many guffs both candidates made.

Last night killed my fingers though while putting the connectors onto the four peg boards. Luckily I didn't loose a nail in the process, but I received a couple of scratches while trying to force the suckers into place.

I guess everything is set for the fun part to begin. I have the box full of divided pixels, all 10,400+ of them. I have the cover page that serves as the model. I have the pegboards all set.

This is going to be fun.

Tut - Humor

The jokes write themselves:

They are just so tiny I can barely find them.
Get in the hole already.
Use you nails and coax them along the ridges.
Why do you have to keep tilting like that; can't you keep it straight so that I can get you in the hole.

Ad nauseum.

EDIT: So far, I've only had to pull out twice.

Also, fingering a pixel piece to get it at the right angle and then dropping it down your shirt - I do not need pixel cleavage, thank you very much.

In other news, koed is threatening an intervention for me. After all, he gets to hear the words coming from my mouth as I think them.

Tut - Stage 1

Finished with just the browns and greens on the left side of Tut.
There's at least 500 pieces if not closer to 1000 already attached.
