Default Electrical Problem

So I jumped in my Firebird this morning, went to start it, and it wouldn't. The battery, was my first guess--voltage was a little low--but all the lights were okay. I let it sit till this afternoon, then I decided to jump in and try it again this afternoon. Starts right up! So I drive around, run a couple of errands. I get in it to come back home, and it takes me two or three times to start it! I've noticed my headlights kind of pulse when I'm driving, and I revved it a couple of times at idle, and my dome light dimmed. Bad connection, alternator, any ideas? Thanks!

I would check your main grounds. Also check the connection to the battery and to the alternator, including that little wire that plugs in the side of the alternator.
