It might be one of those days where I don't have much to say and must resort to simplicities. I'm listening to the soundtrack from The Dark Knight. I really enjoy how well Zimmer, the composer, not only manipulates his previous themes from Batman Begins into something new but also folds in music from the original movies. I believe he did the same in the first but more subtly. My favorite track from the album is "I'm not a hero." It's long and contains many different motifs.
It finally stopped snowing here. It hasn't snowed in at least a day. Yesterday it was primarily rain but we've had a lot of clear skies finally. There were even several halos produced on the clouds. They were so vibrant that the refracted light partially reformed into a second sun if you know what I mean. It was quite bright.
I think I've come up with a short story idea. It's nothing to dramatic or over the top, just a simple story. In fact, it's more like an excerpt if anything. I just want to jump right in and get to my climax. I'm going to use the last week of my 2 week experiment to write the story in parts. If it doesn't take 7 parts, that's alright. As a little teaser, my idea takes place on Mars, probably 200 years in the future, give or take. I have to do a bit of research first to make sure I get a terraforming time frame right. Or I may just screw it and say humanity created some new technology that allowed terraforming on a much quicker scale. And like I said, nothing dramatic. There are no bad guys. If anything I suppose it's a moral story. Hope it works. Starting tomorrow!
Cheers!
