Ballad of the Wind Fish

The title has nothing to do with this post, except for the fact that it will not get out of my mind.
But, unlike the song, I am, in fact, out of my mind. I've been going for about 72 hours straight with no sleep, and it's doing strange things to my brain.

For starters, it feels as though my brain has shrunk and peeled away from the inside of my skull, and all that extra space has been filled with cerebral fluid, and that's acting like a curtain between my eyes and brain. I know I'm hearing things fine, but it's like there's a slight delay between what I hear and what I see. It's kind of fascinating actually. I figure this is what it must feel like for people who are drunk and/or stoned.

But, as I have no desire to test that hypotheses by becoming either drunk or stoned, I suppose I'll just have to go on without proof of this being true.

ANYWAY, an odd thing happened today. I came up with a story idea, a space story none the less, from watching the Disney Beauty and the Beast. I'm not too sure how that works, because the story doesn't have anyone in it who can only be de-cursed by the power of love, nor does it have anything to do with anything even remotely French, but, well, who am I to question the plot bunnies?

Actually, this potential story seems to be drawing inspiration from a fair few different places. The main character is, appearance wise, a cross between Kiba from Naruto and Axel from Kingdom Hearts, only with 100% more estrogen. I haven't actually ever played a KH game, but I think Axel's hair is pretty. Personality and colouring wise, however, she resembles my cat :P

One of the other lead characters, his species is a sort of vague cross between the Zora from the Zelda games, and the Time Lords from Doctor Who. And the main antagonist is a Gorn, a la Star Trek.

While he's not called a Gorn (well, he is in my head, but I'm trying very hard to curb that impulse), and I never intended to call him a Gorn, appearance wise he pretty much is a Gorn: a big green lizard man.

I don't know why, but ever since I first started writing, I've always had lizard men as bad guys. I think it stems from my childhood obsession with dinosaurs, but as I am not a psychologist, one can never tell with these things.

Off topic, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Transformers movie.

Slightly less off topic, I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed Pirates 3. It has, in my opinion, the single most romantic wedding in the history of film. And Davey Jones was oddly adorable, especially when he was playing his organ with his tentacles. And boy, did that sentence ever sound wrong!

*starts singing the Mario theme in Japanese*

Hm, I just blinded myself with science...

I don't know why, but I've had the Peloponnesians in my head all day. It's kind of aggravating, because they just hang around in there, having their damn war. Bastards.

Well, I should attempt to sleep now, because I'm not making any sense. That and I get the weirdest feeling like I'm a drunk phoning his ex-girlfriend in the middle of the night, and that's obviously a bad sign because I am neither drunk, male, or anybodies ex O_o

So, um, yeah... goodnight!
