Today I spent some time doing research for Heavy Rains, making sure that some of the plot and setting elements made sense. In awhile I'll continue editing and try to figure out a way to close the plot hole! I haven't given much thought to the other three stories I'm planning on writing just yet - that's a task for another day.

My friend in Australia (Matthew) is giving the story challenge a go too, so there'll be a little extra motivation to get these stories done by the end of the month!

A bunch of computer parts came today. Assuming the case arrives tomorrow, I'll be able to start assembling everything in preparation for the video card. The tracking info for the video card shows that it should arrive sometime Thursday, so I won't actually be able to test anything out until then. It still beats waiting an indeterminate amount of time for the 9600XT to be released!
