I Feel So Very Blah(g)

Today I'm catching up on blogs and feeling very anti-my-own-blog today. I'm not sure why, but I'm betting I have a case of Spring Fever—an ailment that can only be cured by lots of time in the sunshine, preferably with warm grass under my bare feet. But sadly, there is no grass to be found beneath my desk, and I doubt any will grow there anytime soon. So for now, Dillon and I (and the ever-present Vlad, who’s currently snoozing in the back of my skull) will have to accept this limitation and be content that at least the sun is shining through the window. Because until I get a laptop (Come on, advance check!), I'm chained to one spot.

Wonderland is going wonderfully. (Ha! No surprise there!) It seems Dillon and I have found our groove. I'm currently working on a scene that involves him and Alice. It's probably one of the oddest chapters I've had to write—in that here's where things get really messy. Not messy gory, but messy screwy. Anyhoo, the pace is picking up and, factoring in revisions for Eighth Grade Bites, I wager I’ll have Wonderland ready to go by the 4th of July. (and that's being uber generous)

I'm currently reading The Gunslinger—first book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. (Thanks, Jackie!) It's good...but strange. I'm not a big fan of cowboys, so I'm finding myself repeating my mantra of "trust the author". I know Mr. King won't steer me wrong, and I really am enjoying it. It's just an odd world, where I feel a little lost. Once I get a grip on what's going on, I'm sure I'll love it.

I'm also playing F.E.A.R. It's pretty high on the creepy scale, but not nearly as scary as I'd like. I'm thinking of revisiting some Silent Hill or even Thief 3...there are some excellent asylum scenes in there I'd love to relive. But for now, I'm going to finish reading blogs, drop by Backspace, and head back into Wonderland.
