• Does everyone know that Stardust is being made into a movie?  Now you can watch the trailer.
• A friend sent me a link to this article about Rostropovich, written by Steven Isserlis.  Be sure to read the penultimate paragraph.  It is awesome.
• Right now, I have a piece of a book display in my room that says "DOG" in big letters and a little motor in the back makes a little cardboard dog-head shake back and forth.  It makes a quiet "hmmm-whoosh" sound that's actually quite soporific.
• Just so you know, rabbits are crepuscular.  Moose are not.
• My viol won't be here for a few weeks yet.  I am having it shipped to Blaine, and then I am going to dash down to get it.  It'll be easiest if I am the one declaring it at the border.  I'll get a green card for it then!
• I had three bottles of Strongbow left.  My parents invited the other brother and his fiancee over for dinner.  Five is a bad number; I don't like sharing.
• I will be very glad when April is over.  So much stress is happening this month!
• The Children of Húrin is coming out on Tuesday.  So beautiful.  Full colour plates, everyone!  Eeee!
• The Canucks actually won tonight!  They didn't really deserve it, but it went into overtime, and they got lucky.  Pyatt the girly-girl scored the winning goal (and a beautiful one it was, too).  I was getting stressed out because it was in overtime, so I was putting a concerted effort into patting the cat, and then we scored!  Maybe I just shouldn't look!
• This is all I have to say.
