h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, so I guess this isn't a true blog. I don't have friends listed down the side. I don't have info about me and whatnot. I don't write in it regularly. I guess I don't have the true spirit of a blogger. Sooooo I guess my H2G2 journal is exactly that...just...an online journal. Yes. Huzzah for State the Obvious Girl! *fanfare*

Enihoo...ordinarily, my life, as I've said, is a mind-numbingly boring, incredibly worthy-of-the-gnashing-of-teeth-ly featureless one. But today...today was special. ^_^ We finally got ourselves a grand piano! Yes, you see, I put my old upright under my pillow last night (how uncomfortable; I kept hitting diminished seventh chords), and this morning the Piano Fairy had brought me a shiny grand!

But seriously, it's a Kawai. It ain't no Steinway or Mason & Hamlin, but on the whole, it sounds beautimous, except for the higher notes, which sound a bit brassy. Nothing that a good tuning, or thwacking, won't fix. I expect this will make practicing a bit more bearable. Not that I actually will. Heh. ^.^;;

It's puuuurty. All shiny and lacquered. *gazes adoringly at her grand for awhile*

Well, moving on.

My life has since returned to its usual montony. How sad. I've finished The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman, at least. Well, "finished" meaning I've read parts I, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X. Still have a decent sense of the story. I'll have to read it again just to get the full scope of it...this first reading was more of a hurried-I-don't-want-my-mom-to-catch-me-reading-these-books kind of reading. She dun like me to be wastin' mah time wit' comic books, nosir. Thus my lack of exposure to the world of graphic novels and manga, although I've clandestinely become addicted to Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Inu-Yasha by Rumiko Takahashi over the past two years. Hmm, maybe that's what sets me apart from most bloggers...the ones I've seen so far all seem to be big Anime-buffs. Doi.

Hyuck, I gots karate classes tonight. We're having a Guest Sensei (*theme music plays*) tonight, so I'll actually have to wear a gi jacket. >_< I'm a brown belt and I don't even know how to put one on correctly, because in my dojo we're normally allowed to wear black t-shirts with the dojo logo on it. O.o;; Could be awhile before I get my black belt then...heh heh?

No more writing now. In all probability, if I continue I'll end up with a hormonally-driven gripe-o-rama about guys. And we wouldn't want that, now would we. That's for tomorrow.
