Research can be a pain in the butt. It's a necessary one, though, wherein I find out the information I need to make a scene more authentic. Most of the time it's a subject I find interesting, and wanted to know about, anyway. However, there is one project that is looming on the horizon wherein the research will be something that I have to study hard and really learn. Moreover, it's a subject where there will be a good deal of math and other computations. I don't have to make it
super-authentic, but I want it to have a level of authenticity. I also need to sharpen up my thinking skills, and, as Spock indirectly suggests, stop thinking in two dimensions.
