Alrighty, so after last night’s failed post, I’m not going to publish blogs on my iTouch ever again. By ‘ever again’ I mean until I next feel an overwhelming urge to blog using that medium. The connection on there is just not stable enough I think. Annoying, like I think I said before. Especially since I had to type with my thumbs on that miniature keyboard. Talking about iTouches, Apple’s come up with quite a few improvements to its ipod line. The Nano’s getting a video camera!!!! And radio!! How cool is that? And the iTouch’s gone up to 64GBs. Jealous. I love having lots of gigs to play around with. And they’re lowering the prices of the iTouch. As usual, my timing when I buy electronics sucks. And there’s the new iPhones out too. up to 32GBs now! Wait a year or so more and probably it’ll increase and hopefully have radio too. Then after the price drops, probably I’ll get one. Hee!

Was watching Chess in Concert, Live at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s really cool, starring Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and Adam Pascal. The songs are kind of stuck in my head. Wonder why this musical didn’t do well in Broadway. Apparently it did quite well in West End. Americans are strange. Oh well. They are the same country that rejected the Beatles cos they thought their music was on the way out. Strange. Anyway, this concert version is quite good. Very nice to see these singers performing it too. Josh Groban could go into musicals if he wanted. Maybe. But I like it better when he’s doing his music thing. Hee!

Not been doing much the past few days. Watching a lot of videos and all. Did some writing. Working on a story now set in the universe of the Vampire Chronicles with some Torchwood, Twilight and X-Men elements. Yeah. Strange me. Quite interesting working on this story. Was researching on a lot of history stuff. Learned things about WW2 that I didn’t know before. And a bit of WW1 too. But anyway, reached 30,000 words for this one. Hopefully I can finish it. I’m hitting a dry patch and I’ve got to write through it so that my way’s clear until the end. You know, this story’s a classic example of how sometimes the character takes on a life of its own and doesn’t quite do the things you planned. I’ve got to change quite a bit on the timeline and relationships cos of the way the story turned out. Think it’ll work better this way. It makes more sense. By the way, if you want to beta read or preview it or whatever, let me know. I’m very happy to share. But, like I said, it’s not finished yet. Not sure if I’m going to post it up or where to post it up if I finish and am happy with the story. We’ll see.

Went to see the exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls today with Duan and Sumi. It was ok. Probably could be better. It turned out to be just 1/3 about the Dead Sea Scrolls and 2/3 on the publication history of the bible. Very Christian oriented. Not quite what I expected. Not quite sure what to write about it. It was interesting in a way. I liked that they had guides giving mini lectures in all three sections of the exhibition so we weren’t just wandering aimlessly around. The guides were quite interesting, I thought. My feet hurt now though. Wore my wedges and was standing and walking the whole day. I feel my feet throbbing now. :p

Ok. That’s all for now. Tired. Can’t think. More another day, perhaps.
