Or ‘The Batman’ for those of you that care.

Today I went to see the movie, and as much as I tried avoiding spoilers, and hating emo captain sparkles man, because I heard it was good. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good fantasy story.

Well, IMO, it was good. Now to be fair, I never saw the sparkle movies either. Sooo… have I done myself a disservice with a fake prejudice about the twiddle-light movies? Have I been a bad dave?

I think not.

The Batman was released on March 4th, today is the 15th, that’s (pausing to take off my shoes and socks…) 11 days ago. To disclose more of the movie before the first two weeks have passed would be a sin. I won’t do it, I can’t do it, for the penance for spoiling a movie prematurely is to watch those horrible twiddle-light ones.

No thank you.

I’m going to rate the movie a solid 8 out of 10. Part of that is I’m having a hard time taking Mr. Sparkles seriously. Sure, he’s probably been in other movies, none of which I’ve seen. Why? All I see is sparkles.

What can I say, I’m a BadDave.

Anywho…

On another topic, today I made some real progress in my A New Day (previously called Starfall) story. I didn’t count but it felt like I got in over 2,000 words today. That puts me smack dab in the middle of chunk 26.

Some quick math as to the story’s overall progress. Chunks 1-10 had about 3,000 words each. Chunks 11+ have about 4,500+ words each. I try to keep them under 5k each, though it sometimes exceeds it. That would put my total word count at around… (why did I put my socks back on???) 100k?

The first 10 chunks are focused on Jessica’s crash landing on an alien world. She befriends a young girl who is an escaped slave. The next grouping of chunks(I don’t have true chapters in this thing as it’s still semi-fluid in its layout) between 11 and around 21, deal with Jessica in the past prior to her crash landing on said planet. Then from chunk 21 and going forward, its a split story with Jessica continuing with her on world antics while the crew she left behind have hijinks that tie in with the ending. Did you get all that? I would be surprised if you did.

Convoluted?

Delusional?

Am I doing myself a disservice in keeping this pipe dream alive?

Am I doing everyone else a disservice in rotting their brains with this drivel?

Am I being… a BadDave?

:O

Alright, that’s it for now. I’m tired and I have to get to bed early so I can hit the snooze button and not wake up in time to do my walking laps. Yeah, I’m being bad to myself dave.
