Tonight I bought ice.
You might ask yourself, "so what? I buy ice all the time."
Fake ice.
Let that sink in for a moment.
I remember thinking something along the lines of "props. Must have props," but that's the best I can think of as to why.
I've done this intermittently my whole life. I collect things, this is true, but sometimes I pick up a white ball and think, "if I cut this in half, used a little paint, shellaced the front, and put it at the end of an optic tube (think "telescope") it'd make a really cool peephole for my door. I'd have to cut the door so that it had a recess, and a cushion on the end for those shmucks that'd hit the ball..."
And then I wander off with it and never do a damn thing about it. And this has been happening my whole life. Not just with little white balls. Old circuit boards, pieces of plywood, the curved glass from an old monitor... the list is staggering.
Currently I'm trying to get a degree in biomedical engineering, but it might not pan out. My wife says that there's a big gap between theatrical engineering (mechanical effects) and my current path, but I don't believe it. Not fully. I realize there might not be much in the way of anatomy, but surely physics and chemistry would be important.
Anyone got any clues on this topic?

You are not allowed to make your transcript as cluttered with useless junk as our house is! (At least until you've got a decent paycheck coming in, anyway...)
Oh, my web search on special effects says that the best way to get on is as an apprentice, and the closest place I could find?
That's right... northern Salt Lake City.
That place has it going on.
