⇒ project planning

due this sat 6th!

what am i thinking of? well i don't want to do a parallel universe story because it's too impossible--it's close but since it never happened, it never will (at the given point in human history again). So I've decided on an abstract time story--kind of like the way Star Wars is a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..., yet people still mistake it for futurism. I've been looking at alternate forms of technology, but there only seem to be 3 major forms of sci-fi novella: cyber, bio and steam. And that's not considering paradise/doomsday scenarios which should have befallen our successors, whether they be robo-uprising, nuclear holocaust, alien annihilation or exhaustion of resources; I'm trying to think of something that hasn't been done before, or at the very least done in that way.

Anyhow, here's some of the research I've been doing.

⇒ swimmin

gymmed yesterday. overall disappointed with performance. but i did manage to bench 60 a couple of times. that's among the handful of other times i've ever done it. nice...swim felt good...poor performance, but the water felt cool, not cold.
