My day has been full of accomplishment!
Whether they are considered good accomplishments, or not, who cares?? I got up at 9, went to the doctor, came home, read, had lunch, read some more, talked to my parents for a while, read again, finished the book. Checked email, discovered the lovely string of comments pertaining to my infuriation at breast implants at a young age, replied to some of the comments, talked to Steph online, ate dinner, practiced the piano for a while, watched some TV, checked email again, wrote out some emails, talked on the phone, watched a movie. Yup. Very productive day, AND no naps! :)
I was somewhat disappointed in my book. I hadn't read it in a number of years (probably since sophomore or junior year of high school), and I thought it was better. Maybe I was more naive or something, or maybe I just didn't read carefully. Or maybe I just am more bored by it now. Either way, it was historical fiction, which I'm very fond of, and it was about cathedrals and medieval England, so I guess I shouldn't complain! Oh well. Oh, it was The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I'm now in serious need of some books to read. It's been so long since I went to the library or bookstore, I have no idea what's even out there. I can't even remember the last time I sat down to read a book since this summer. And even the last month of the summer I had run out of the novels I brought and was forced to read trashy romance novels! Arguh!!! So, anyone read any good books lately? :)
I practiced the piano today! It was weird. I haven't really touched the piano (save Choraliers accompaniments) since my recital. I don't even have anything to practice, so I just dug through my filing cabinet and pulled out a bunch of books and read through stuff. Heh, my interpretation of Gershwin's Prelude No. 2 "Blue Lullaby" was atrocious. Granted, I'm out of practice, but it's not like I was ever IN practice (even though I did technically have it ready for solo & ensemble my senior year of HS). Somewhere, Gershwin is rolling in his grave. Oh well, it was kind of an off-day. I did Beethoven & Beach less than justice too - and I was performing those just over a month ago! Agh. :)
Okay, so the speakers in the other room are REALLY loud, and it sounds like there are people walking all over the house. Kinda freaky when you're not expecting it!
Uff, well the movie's almost over, and I'm tired. Tchao! :)
