I got a new 'do' today. I love my long hair but I was tired of the plainness to it. So, on the spur of the moment, I got that new cut done. It's the new cut that looks like the hair has been curled, but not. It doesn't look too bad, but $50 was a bit high. We'll see how it does everyday.

I had another wierd dream about a week ago. The surrounding area was a bit foggy-like, but I knew I was at a place sorta like a college campus, like in the 'quad'. I walked up to a picnic table carrying some books and sat down. There were several faceless people sitting there fawning all over Wil Wheaton. I started talking to him like we were just best buds and he thought it was great that someone finally just 'talked' to him. I was telling him about my current story idea that I'm working on. I was all excited about it. I don't remember his reaction about it, though. That's all I remember about the dream.

I've been working on a new story. I've been jumping around from different ones and I'd chosen one to work on, but the other idea just wouldn't leave me alone. It's been floating around in the ether for a long time waiting for more ideas to add to it and finally I've got some more story. Most of my time lately has been spent in world-building. It's a fantasy world and I've been creating a whole planet for it. I've even drawn two hemispheres of it and I'm working on the three human races that live there. There's also a couple of non-human sentient races that I'm working on developing. Not sure if I want to go with some traditional fantasy creatures or with something totally new.

Anyway, I don't have a title yet, but the world is called Saria, so I've been calling the story, "The Sarian Chronicles." I still don't know a whole lot about the plot, so it'll be awhile before I actually get to write it. Basically, I have the beginning, but where the characters go from there to resolve their situation is not clear. Plus, the 'how' of how they get into this situation isn't clear to me either. I hope with more brain-storming sessions and world-building sessions it will become clearer soon. I'm itching to get writing on these.

Meanwhile, I've been reading more. Right now I'm reading, "The Inadequate Adept" by Simon Hawke. Pretty funny. Reminds James and I of Rocky and Bullwinkle where the narrator will interact with the characters (and, in this case, the reader too).

Happy St. Patrick's day, a bit late! In my family this is an important holiday, we are proud of our Irish heritage!
