Lots of exciting stuff
now playing: tori amos - a sorta fairytale
now reading: j. k. rowling - harry potter & the chamber of secrets
now sitting on my bedside table waiting to be read:
agatha christie - the secret adversary
agatha christie - crooked house
robert ludlum - the bourne supremacy
thomas hardy - far from the madding crowd
mary stewart - the last enchantment
now in the waiting line for a coveted 'bedside table' position:
terry pratchett - the amazing maurice and his educated rodents
terry pratchett - guards! guards!
I had the entire weekend off. It was beautful. And definitely needed. I got up early saturday morning and went gararge-saling with jenn. She's moving in to The House, so she was looking for furniture, etc. I was looking for sports equipment and stuff for camp. We both had tons of fun, got to know each other a bit better, and came out with some darn good deals. Like a goose-down king-sized duvet, only slightly used, with cover - all for $34. Which meant jenn saved... $360. Better believe it :) I also found Myst III for $2, and proceeded to play it all weekend, with some of the girls. I'm almost done - we beat 4 worlds, and are on the last one. And yeah, we had some help from a site... but only when we NEEDED it.
So... played Myst and watched movies and read all weekend. Today i wrapped up a whole pile of administrative details regarding camp, mowed the lawn, went through some of the worship songs with jenn, and now i'm about to have my first piano lesson. That's right, after an extended leave of absence from the piano (about 8 years, actually), i'm taking it up again. I was fooling around today, going over my scales, and i was impressed by how well i remembered all my major scales! I stumbled on F (the fingering's different), and my left-handed B was REALLY bad, but other than that i remembered ALL the scales without even thinking about it! I guess those weeks and weeks and weeks of going over scales actually worked! Whodathunk?
I have nothing else to say... blog lots, vote as your conscience dictates, and never put off 'til tomorrow the fun you could safely have today.
