Of Kings & Cats
Oct. 16th, 2010 10:51 amThis morning Lucy awoke me about an hour and a half before I wanted to get up by running back and forth between all the blinds in the bedroom and getting them. This is the second day in a row that she's done that. I yelled and shouted at her, and she finally let them be. Tomorrow, I will have a water bottle by the bed.
Afterward I drifted back to sleep and started to dream that I was lying on a tombolo. Waves kept coming at me from first one direction, then the other, forcing me to jerk this way than that, and threatening to drown me.
Then I was dreaming that I was back in bed, and it was Lucy who kept jumping at me, forcing me to twist this way and that.
And that caused me to jerk awake again. Damned cat woke me twice and she wasn't even there the second time.
I also dreamed of Warhammer last night. I've only ever played Warhammer Fantasy RolePlay once, to try out the third edition, and I've never played Warhammer Fantasy Battle. But I was reading about them late last night for the work I'm doing on the Fantasy Flight, Games Workshop, and Hogshead Publishing histories.
It's rare that my concerns of the day translate that seamlessly into my dreams of the night.
And speaking of concerns of the day, my next iPhone game, Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms is done and submitted to Apple. Woo hoo! It actually took about half-a-dozen tries to submit it due to some combination of poor validation, poor error messaging, and poor IDE setup on Apple's part, but it's through. (I should write an article about the errors I hit, but then I have at least 3 or 4 iPhone articles that I should wrote.) I think Kingdoms for the iPhone at least as strong as Money, and am looking forward to seeing it out there in the store (in about a week).

I'll post here when it's actually released ...
