Firsts And Stuff

On vacation. Two weeks away from work hell. Two firsts planned, one already confirmed by the good people at Amazon.

My Starcraft Battle Chest is set to arrive within a few days. I have never played a RTS. I am excited at the new possibilities of failure. As I pine for the day when I can afford to upgrade my computer to play World of Warcraft, I hope this will satsify my PC gaming needs for awhile.

Second first: I intend to write my first mystery short story. The entire thing downloaded into my head this afternoon, and as cerebral first drafts go, it seems fairly solid. The story will be called The Ring of Truth, and I hope to have it done in the next two weeks.

I'm excited by both of these things. I've never written a mystery before, and I've never commanded a futuristic army. This is what vacations are for.

Hey KD.... keep us abreast of your Starcraft flirtations, okay? I've had only a glancing blow with the RTS genre, but never really forced myself to get into it in a serious way. I know people who love playing RTS games, but they have the requisite concentration ski....hey look! Clouds!
