Quickies

Some random quickies:

-I worked A LOT this weekend, overflowing into this week.  My “weekend” is actually Wednesday and Thursday.  My summer work schedule has officially started this week.  Normally, it will allow me more opportunity to work on my writing, but the next few weeks will be a tad crazy, with my mother visiting, and then my visiting my family, and then my friend moving.  Writing, for the most part, will be sporadic.

However, my focus this summer will be on the Sundered World writing, my own novel, and my fan fiction, which will be used to fuel the fire when my muse doesn’t want to do what I want it to.

-I got a new wrist brace.  It’s actually a bowling brace, but it happens to be absolutely perfect for my wrist with tendonitis (well, both wrists have tendonitis, but I have a good brace for the left one). I’m typing with it now, and it’s not too bad to work with, really.

-Pillar is awesome.  I am listening to their songs on their myspace page. I think I’ll download an album tomorrow, along with the new 3 DOORS DOWN album (self-titled).

-Brain Age for the DS is sweet, if for nothing else than the sudoku puzzles.  I also picked up 2 used gameboy advance games….Final Fantasy I & II Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy V.  I already have FF III for the DS.    Now I just need to find time to play them all. (I’m stuck in FFIII against a certain boss, and I’m stuck in Zelda, too.)

-My roommate is getting a cool new TV.  I picked up a stand for it today.  Yay for awesome watching!

Sundered World and Iron Man

Off today. This is my last week with Mondays and Wednesday off, at least for the summer. My days off this summer are going Wednesdays and Thursdays for the most part. I’m not used to working 5 days in a row, but I’m hoping to be able to visit my family at least once a month this summer.

Been doing a lot of work this week for the Sundered World project. Today, I wrote up a creation myth and an afterlife myth, both of which I’m pretty pleased with. I still need to do a write-up on the Arcane Order. In a bit.

I saw the Iron Man movie Monday night. IT. IS. AWESOME. I cannot fully relate its AWESOMENESS. You must see it for yourself. Be sure to stay and sit through all the credits. There is a scene afterwards. Apparently, there was an animated Iron Man series during the mid-90s. It only ran for 2 seasons, and was dropped after bad ratings. I can see why. If nothing else, the whole long-haired yellow-suit wearing Tony Stark is…awful. And don’t even get me started on Nick Fury. I had a moment of excitement when I saw Hawkeye though (an early Avenger and always a favorite of mine). However, see the movie. Avoid the tv show.
