It's March already?!

Posted on 19:15 by simmo

Time goes by so fast.  :(  It already seems like a long time since the Olympics started; yesterday, of course, it ended, with an amazing hockey game.  I hardly know a thing about hockey, but it was a really close game, with an incredible second goal made by the US--in the last SECONDS of the game!  Then Canada won during overtime; a bit disappointing for us, but still a great game.  :)

I've had a cold the last few days, and, knowing colds, it'll probably stick around for a week or two.  But it's not too bad.  Then today while violin-practicing, I also managed to stretch my left hand too much, which not only hurt but was very stupid; so tomorrow I got to remember not to do that...

Thirdly, I've been experimenting around with the blog layout...very frustrating work, too.  Ideally, I'd like a double sidebar--one on each side of the page--I know how to find out how to do it, but it'll probably be a while till I get around to it.  Anyway, I have an "Alice in Wonderland" theme going on, I guess.  I love those books.  The new movie looks pretty bad, despite being PG; I'll read some reviews when it comes out, but I doubt I'll be going to see it.  Somehow, Alice wearing a suit of armor and fighting in a battle doesn't seem right, lol.  What do you think of the trailer?

On a happier note, my story is coming along pretty well--about 86 pages at the moment, and I just started Chapter 5.  I've thought it over, and I've decided to self-publish it with Lulu or a similar site, when it's all done.  :)  I'm probably thinking too far in advance, but still, I can't wait!  Hopefully it will be illustrated, too.

P.S.   I should be done with Percival Keene soon, so there should be another book review sometime this month.  I'm reading Hamlet, too...so far it's somewhat interesting, but still not very good, as far as content goes.
