Yep... the Devil's Marble Yard trip yesterday turned out really well, despite the fact that I had to wake up at 7:30 in the morning to go. Apparently my legs are not used to climbing around on giant rocks all day, though, because they are both pretty sore now (the right more than the left, for some reason... probably because that one ended up being bent into more weird positions that I didn't think were physically possible than the left one did.) I found out that Gus and Elizabeth are apparently much more used to climbing mountains than Ruth and I are... because they went zooming up the rocks and left us way behind, and when we stopped for a snack break we found that they were only about 20 minutes from the top (while we would've taken another hour or so to get there from the little mini-forest among the rocks where we were.)
After we got back down from the rocks, we went and ate at Subway for lunch (followed immediately afterward by a trip across the street to Burger King, to get milkshakes and sundaes for dessert.) Didn't have much of anything to do the rest of yesterday, but... after having such a good time for the first half of the day (we didn't finally get back on campus until after 2:00!!) I really didn't have much of a problem with that.
Last night, I had kind of an odd dream. Apparently I had been watching some superhero TV show and had figured out based on that show that in the Marvel Comics universe, Hinduism is the only religion that's actually true. Apparently there was a Hindu superhero in the dream (who I don't think is a real superhero) who occasionally would pray to one or more of the Hindu gods... and whenever he did, something would always happen pretty much immediately and obviously resulting from that, whereas when other characters of other religions prayed it was more like real-life praying (in other words, just about as effective as talking to yourself, but I guess it helps some people calm down if they're stressed out or something.) Afterward, I tried looking through the comics themselves and apparently found that in the comics, this only happened once; it was only in the TV version where they had him pray to Shiva or Vishnu or someone like that every few episodes. Weird.
Oh, and I've also been working on The K'hyurbhi Lands again lately. The Castle of Roas is almost completely done (the only thing missing is Roastado's textboxes and scripts, which let Kirber learn a new Kihlah attack), Spam Valley is finally 100% finished, and now I've started to work on Yuckow Tower. It's looking like the demo version will definitely be done in time for the Heart of the OHR contest later this year... I might even manage to get it done in time to distribute it among SVU students for beta-testing before I enter it in the contest.
