... took elements of the Vlad Taltos novels, the Kushiel novels, Casablanca, Star Wars, Greek Mythology, and Veronica Mars.  A retired assassin on the run returned to his home turf (that turf was definitely Casablanca -- did my brain just mispronounce Adrilankha?) after a shipwreck and an encounter with the Angel of Death and an old man trapped on an island.  Once there, he (I) dodged both law enforcement and criminals with the help of his buddy Weevil, until he could set up an appointment with his old lieutenant.  There was now a droid (specifically a Gonkbot) in the office, which some of the people disapproved of.

About half the background parts in this dream were played by Peter Dinklage, possibly because I just read an interview where he expressed a preference for playing parts that were NOT specifically written for dwarfs.

That's more or less the only element of the dream I understand.

So I want to write a couple thousand words today to break my slump, and I had a notion.

Would anyone be interested in watching me write  / harassing me while I worked on gdocs?  An audience might be just the thing to motivate.

Or it might terrify me into wordlessness to show you all my rough drafts.

I don't know yet!

Let's experiment. 

Science!!!


But seriously if this is at all interesting, let me know in the comments.  Doesn't have to be today, and if it works once it may become a recurring theme.

So I have this compilation of links on my sidebar right now that I'm saving to show to my lovely wife [livejournal.com profile] elf_amazon .  But then it occurred to me:  I like you guys too!  And we very often agree about what is cool.

And I am really sadly anal retentive about having my sidebar clear so if I put all the links here I do not have to keep them there too.

A Timeline of the life of River Song from Doctor Who.

The latest exploits of my favorite fictional soccer team, the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers.  Especially recommended for fans of the vlogbrothers.

Superheroes always make three-point landings.

The best Legend of Korra gif ever.

An amusing Avengers meme plus Chris Hemsworth delivering awkward news in character.

Behind every great novelist is...  which also makes me thing of mt favorite writer joke.  What's the difference between a writer and a park bench?

A park bench can support a family.

Last but not least, a brief Homestuck fanfic which shows us a glimpse of Troll Cosmo's advice on kismessitude.
