CountryMouse's Refuge

I went WiFi with "Endless Ocean" earlier this evening (it's still Saturday to me) and went diving in the ocean off Chile! Well, no, we're not allowed into the open waters of the Pacific. We dive in the Manoa Lai Sea. :-)

Okay, okay, technically the person I was WiFi-ing with was/is in Chile. :-) So I went to "his" ocean first; then he visited mine. When he came to my ocean, I took him to the Great Drop-Off, which is a place very near the open waters of the Pacific Ocean and where you can sometimes see whales. And we DID! Thinking back, we may've seen a blue whale; but I *think* we saw the Ancient Mother! I probably shouldn't have positioned my boat there. He has only had the game a day or so, so I might have spoiled a little of the story line that he is only beginning. I hope not!

Then I took his ten-year-old sister on a dive about 1-1/2 hours later. I took *her* to Sunshine Beach and Dolphin Rock. That's a fun happy place with dolphins and seals. :-) She had a good time.

I'm hoping to do lots more diving with various people. I need to think about what music I want to use in different areas. You can use your own MP3s not only when you dive alone but also when you have someone over to dive!

I am thinking of using Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" for Ship's Rest...it needs something sad and mournful. Its name in the European version of the game is Ocean's Graveyard. "The sea always reclaims its own. As life began in the sea, so must all life return to its final resting place."

And maybe I should use "Under The Sea" from "The Little Mermaid" for Sunshine Beach and Dolphin Rock. :-)

I need something spooky for The Abyss. It's just like it sounds: deep and dark and brrrrrrr!

Okay, enough for tonight. I need SLEEP!

Ralph Nader has entered the presidential race. ::shakes head:: He may think he's giving people an alternative, but he'll just do damage again like he has before.

And I hope people won't fall for it this time.
