Nope, That's Not Happening (Day 3756 - 3/7/20)

Today's vlog was supposed to be about getting a new shelf installed to hold their mugs. Stephen says that if they're going into technicalities, then it was supposed to be the subject of yesterday's vlog. A month ago, they tried to put an L-bracket under the middle of their Ikea shelf since the shelf was bending in the middle from the weight of the mugs. But, they were unable to attach the bracket to the wall, so they decided to contact a guy to install the shelf for them. It's been a while since they contacted that guy and he hasn't been able to come install the shelf since they've been busy. Both of them also haven't cared enough about getting the shelf installed for them to contact someone else to do it.

They were both under the assumption that the guy would be coming yesterday. But, when they called to ask what time he would be coming by, it was much later than they thought it would be. So, they asked him to come in today instead. The guy installing the shelf had to go to the store and get supplies and paint since he was building them a new shelf from scratch. He was planning on installing the shelf today, but he realized that the paint was still wet. So, he's installing the shelf tomorrow instead.

Stephen says that it's been a bit difficult these past 2 days since they don't know when the next step of the shelf installation will happen. It's fine if Mal is painting and the doorbell rings. But, if they start recording something like Super Smash Bros: Ultimate, then it's much harder to just stop in the middle of recording it. Stephen says that the shelf is done, so it just needs to get installed. He talks about how they've had to put their mugs elsewhere while the shelf is getting built. The mugs that they use often are on the counter while the other ones are stored at the top of a cabinet.

Today is also game night and they ended up recording Pixelmon. It was a bold move for them to record the 3rd episode since the 2nd episode hasn't even been released yet. Stephen says that the 2nd episode will be released in the near future. But, it will be a while before the 3rd episode gets released so it's best to forget he even mentioned it. Stephen says that there are a lot of other things going on, so releasing the 3rd episode isn't a priority at the moment. He talks about how Pixelmon videos take forever to produce since they need to record for long amounts of time in order to get footage and there are multiple points of view that need to be incorporated into that one video. It's basically hell for Dan to edit through. Another example of that video that is hard to produce is GTA Online. Stephen says that Dan will work on it, but there are also so many other projects he needs to work on.

It's daylight savings, so they are losing 1 hour of sleep. Stephen says that he had set an alarm so that he would wake up at 10 AM this morning, but he ended up sleeping until 1 PM. He speculates that he probably turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. It doesn't sleep in usually since he usually has enough mental willpower to just wake up when his alarm goes off. Stephen says that he tries not to be too harsh on himself if he sleeps in since it clearly means he's lacking sleep.

Finally, he hopes that all the viewers have a good weekend and hopes that they will get a shelf tomorrow.
