About a day later...

Mild sunburn is a pain in the ass (or face and neck).

OK I have absolutely no fucking idea what to write here at the moment (my thoughts become a lot less coherent and serious at about 10pm - all my great stuff comes out after then), so I figured I'd just ramble about various ideas I have in regards to my Literary Masterpiece. (TM)

- Brena:
Tempted to finish this. Not quite sure where I want to go with it though, and the first bunch of chapters were written a looong time ago - I see errors all over the place. Also slightly put off by the fact that FictionPress' uploading service likes to destroy my formatting and make it look like I have the grammatical skills of a four year old.

- Matrix Fanfic 'Blind Faith':
I was always kinda proud of the idea behind this. The problem I ran into was more of a technical sort - I wasn't quite sure how to handle fight scenes and that sort of crap, which are kind of required in a matrix fan fic. And because of my dawdling, Revolutions came out, and the bastards blatantly stole my angle with the 'seeing-whilst-blind' that I'd intended to work through to with Jocasta. Utter bastards. Also, I'm not so sure about the whole fanfiction thing anymore. George Martin, a favourite author of mine, made a rather interesting point on it a few years back which struck a bit of a chord with me. He dislikes it, because in his opinion it kills your ability to be creative with the history/world/background/whatever.

Random Idea One:
Devout Irish Catholic Boxer. Not really sure where this came from, probably Brad Pitt's character in Snatch. I just envisage this very devout irish catholic boxer in the midst of the clashes in Northern Island of the last few decades - not sure exactly when yet. Weird picture of him having an enormous tattoo of the Virgin Mary on his chest or something equally...uh...Catholic?

Random Idea Two:
I'm not sure how to put it into words atm, so I won't bother trying.

Cool Guitar Solos - Honourable Mention: Incubus - Priceless ('A Crow Left of the Murder')
Ok this is fucking cool. I'm pretty sure it's Mike Einziger on the guitar in this, but I'm not enough of a fan to be 100% sure. Listened to this album again last night after my mention of Megalomaniac and forgot how cool this little segment is. It's not super complex or technical but it just sounds so damn cool. I can't really elaborate. PS: Mike - you have the worst haircuts ever dude. Sorry.
