Yay for better days!

Today is MUCH better day than the last few. I wrote a new story! ^_^

I'm calling it "On the train to Yonkers"... obviously, a big chunk of it takes place while the narrator and his girlfriend are riding a train through Bronx to Yonkers. The girlfriend sees a man with a cybernetic arm standing on the far end of the train and suspects he's a terrorist...

My only gripe about the story is that the last three or four paragraphs ended up moving the whole story in a very different direction from where I started... I may have to revise it, but I'm not entirely sure HOW yet.

Until then, I think I'm going to make a concerted attempt at finishing "The Atlanta Incident". It's more than half done anyway, I just need to plow my way through to the end (easier said than done... this is one of those stories that's really difficult to write for some reason). I might end up shafting again in favor of writing something else new, though, so we'll just have to see.

In the meantime, I've been getting really geeky recently. You see, the alternate history site I go to has been running a mock government... game, I suppose? Anyway, over the last few days I've decided to dig through the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary threads, see what legislation was actually discussed (which was WAY more than I thought had been discussed), and post it on the site's wiki. I've finished posted the 2006 stuff and I'm now compiling the information for 2007. I should be done soon, I think.

I also saw Speed Racer last night. Not bad, really hyperkinetic and bright... it was like watching a live-action anime. Sort of. Go see it, you'll have fun! ^_^

Also, did you know they're coming out with a new, all-CG, Star Wars movie this August? If not, consider yourself informed!
