I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. -Groucho Marx

ceremony

Right at this moment, I would give anything for an instrumental version of Joy Division's/New Order's song, "Ceremony." I love that song so much, if I had a version without any words I think I could just listen to it on repeat forever. I would have it playing while I read books. I've tried listening to it while reading and the words are just a little too distracting.
I know that sounds kind of wrong to ask for a song without any words, but you must understand that I do think the lyrics are genius too, don't get me wrong.
sigh...  "Ceremony" is most definitely in my top ten most favorite songs ever.

shoes

I was walking in my favorite, favorite black sandals today and the left one broke... I only got a summer out of them too.

I guess that's what I get for buying them on sale at Target.

jane austen

I just started reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I've read Pride and Prejudice three times and absolutely love it, so I figured I should read some of Austen's other works...
The first chapter I honestly had to reread 5 times. Although it was only three pages long, my mind would wander so much and by the time the chapter was over I realized that I absorbed nothing. But once I finally got through that opening chapter the following chapters had a lot of dialogue and I've actually really enjoyed it so far.
That is one thing that I love about Jane Austen, she makes the conversations between characters so interesting.

camera

I have a Nikon DSLR camera and I don't know how the heck to use it. I've had it over a year and I just have never had the time or energy to learn how to use it. However, last night we were sitting on our balcony after sunset and the moon started to come up from behind the mountain. I ran to grab my camera to try to capture a nice shot and I ended up taking about 20 shots before I went inside to google how to take pictures of the moon on manual. About ten minutes later I had it figured out and I got many amazing pictures, if I do say so myself.
Anyway, I am so excited and I cannot wait to learn how to use this camera. It's such a great camera and I really want to be able to use it well. I would post a picture I took, but I forgot the cord to plug my camera into the computer. Alas, I shall upload it when I return.

hello there

Well, this is my third blog in the running.
I enjoy writing and I hope to not neglect this one. I was getting bored with where my other blogs were going, so I think I'll care for this one and update it often.
