Two cows are standing in a field. One of them turns to the other and says, "So, what do you think of the application of complex manifolds to Faster-Than-Light theory?"

The other cow turns, looks at the first cow for a while...

...

..."Mooo!"

Then goes back to eating grass.

so, I have an idea for a new story and character ,however i'm horrible when choosing names.The character is a thief who is in it for the thrill and reward. She doesn't kill kids and she has magical wrist bracers that extend into short swords that are gifts from her dead father who was also a thief. The names i'm looking at are : Nikora or Kyleigh or Stormie,Cristal, Carina

Of those, I like the first and last most. “Stormie/Stormy” could be someone’s pet name for her, though. Like her Mom, in flashbacks and dreams.

Nikora is the Maori version of Nicole...Stormie...due to her grey eyes...yes.....yes....

Here's the description. I'm planning on setting this story in my Crystalshore city.
Nikora Everett stands at 5’10 with grey eyes and short black hair that is often tied into a ponytail. She has a tattoo of crossed swords with the names of her parents on each blade on the back of her neck. She’s 33. She normally dresses in casual clothes such as a shirt and pants, with black leather boots. On her right wrist is a solid silver bracelet with a matching one on her left. The bracelets are a magical gift from her father, when she utters the word “Volund” they extend into two short blades. She’s a thief (unknown to her boss) along with being a worker at a local tavern, both her father Seng Everett mother Carina Everett were well-known artificers who sadly perished in a fire due to one of their projects exploding when Nikora was a teen. She joined a thief’s guild both as a way to support herself, after finding out that while she had some magical talent it wasn’t up to the same level as her parents; and as something to do. Her minor talent enable her to pick locks by pressing her hand against either the door or the lock itself. She also was trained in sword fighting hence the bracelets given to her from her father on a birthday. Her demeanor is laid back and easy going. She often has a smirk on her face. She realized she also needed some sort of cover and got employed the popular tavern “Demon’s Run”.

I saw all three versions of Casino Royale today. The first two (1954 and 1967) were on tv here and the 2006 one I have on DVD.

It's kind of amazing how the same story can have such different adaptations.

The original with Barry Nelson was almost like watching an episode of the 1960's Mission Impossible tv show. Interestingly there's no Vesper Lynd to be seen, even though she was in the book. Parts of the role are taken over by this Valerie Mathis character.

The second one is just a straight up goof ball comedy mess. So much stuff happens at the end that I was seriously trying to find a kitchen sink somewhere in that final "battle".

And the new one is so serious that the contrast to the other two is eye-watering. It does appear to be the closest to the story in the book.

I am simultaneously exhausted, and wide-awake.

Hello, insomnia. We meet again.

I see the Hive Mind is wandering and traveling nearly everywhere today.

Its Storyhour and story plots for me. Making an Impure Princess today. Damned aberrational lords and their minions. Always messing with human genetics
