I am DONE with Usage!

I've finished all of the exercises and mini-tests in the Usage chapter in the English section of my GED book! All I need to do is go over noun cases again, because I only got six out of ten right on the practice tests, and read through the glossary at the end of the chapter. Then it's on to 'Mechanics'!

Also, I can kinda play this song on my keyboard...






I know it's not as elaborate as 'Bohemian Rhapsody', but I'm still pretty proud of myself :) It took me a little while to figure out which chords I needed to play, because the first time I tried playing it, I was playing the wrong chords! I still need to play it along with the CD to make sure I've got it right.

I watched a bit of It Might Get Loud while I was doing my GED work. I love that movie.

Oh yeah, I also picked up season one of Mad Men, a Hayao Miyazaki film called Whisper of the Heart, and an Elvis Costello compilation from the library. And on our way back from the library, Dad cranked up the radio 'cause they were playing AC/DC, and then he cranked it even louder - so loud that the back of my seat was vibrating! It was really funny.

edited to fix grammar

A little less weepy

I've stopped bawling over the Doctor Who problem, but I'm still a tad concerned about whether or not we'll be able to watch it.

So today I took out my Irish Hiking Scarf and worked on it while watching X2: X-Men United. The movie was great, and I got two repeats done. I forgot to do GED work, though :p

And this afternoon I sat in my room and read Stewart Copeland's autobiography and listened to the White Stripes' Get Behind Me Satan. It's a great album - when I eventually sign up on Amazon, I'm adding it to my wishlist.

That's all, folks.

Look who's procrastinating

Uh-huh. Should be doing something 'constructive', but I'm not. The day is young, though.

So on Tuesday I watched It Might Get Loud. Thanks to Jack White, I'm now listening to White Stripes songs on YouTube. My sister would be proud - she keeps going on and on about how great the White Stripes are. I never hated them, but I didn't think Jack White was a great choice as a third-generation guitarist for the film, and thought that Billie Joe Armstrong would've been better. Now I say he was a good choice.

And last night I whacked the top of my foot on the underside of the downstairs fridge. Serves me right for not moving the heap of towels out of the way before walking past the fridge. So when I walk down to the library later, I'll have to put a bandaid on my foot.

The Calorimetry is going alright. I think the yarn is part-wool, because I was able to snap a piece off the skein, so I won't put it in the washing machine. I'll probably hand-wash it in the bathroom sink with my Eucalan woolwash so that it'll tighten up a little.
