THIS CAME TODAY OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGM.
I have been attempting to play some of it. Key word being attempt, I think I need like four hands, I'm using both hands in the treble clef and there's still bass stuff that needs to be played. =/ I have little hands. BUT! I can play little bits of Dancing Through Life. Only in the treble and I have screwy timing. :P This is why I am not a pianist, I am a singer.
I want to see this, especially seeing as Chris and Brendan are raving on so about it. I talk to either of them and it's like [bop bop bop bop bop], it's insane.
I also wanna see this. It looks hot. It also looks, according to Sophie, like something I'd write. I'm not sure if I should be offended, or flattered, or if it's just that Sophie knows me too well.
We camped here in the weekend. It was hardout boring. By the time we got there, Tish, Alex, Nicky, and Rachel had already dammed the river (though we did work on the dam a bit more on Saturday). We played volleyball over the clothesline, and soccer at one point, and lots and lots of Consequences.
I've been reading this for ages and I finally finished it at Mangaweka. It's really good. I loved how the main character, Mattie, is a writer, and reads the dictionary, and is half-Canadian. I also adored how it kind of travelled on two timelines at once, one in the past and one in the "present" (the present of the book, it's set in 1906).
I read the Alex quartet at St. Teresa's, and I reread Alex in Rome on Friday. Completely different experience, reading it and realizing that I'm Alex's age. It's very odd being fifteen, reading/watching things and realizing I'm the character's age. It was so much more powerful reading Alex in Rome now than it was when I was like eleven, I really know what they're on about when they go on about love and lust and hormones and that, and the Rome setting hits me a lot harder because like Alex, I do Latin, I know about Ancient Rome, and reading about 60s Rome gives me a bit more of a taste for how Rome is now.
We went into Taihape on Saturday night for mass cos we couldn't go Sunday, and we were a few hours early so after dinner (KFC, I detest KFC) we went to see the gumboot.
We also went to the town square-type-thing, and there was this war memorial, for the people from the area who'd died in the World Wars (and also a few random little wars like the one in Korea - hello, ignorance). [cuts and pastes out of e-mail to Marianne] I couldn’t be bothered playing Hide and Seek with everyone else (seemed kind of pointless in a town square-type-thing, also I was txting), so I sat there in front of the memorial for ages, and I realized: If that lot hadn’t died for this country (and people could have been bothered taking over New Zealand, who would be, honestly, really not worth it), I might not be living here. (Or maybe I would be but I’d be speaking German.) New Zealand’s my home, so much more than the Philippines. The people I love are here. The people I’d die for are here. Those people gave up their lives not just for their families but for their country, so that there would still be a New Zealand in future, in a way for people like me. It was really moving. I felt really Kiwi sitting by that memorial. It made me want to go to an Anzac Day service so much more. Because maybe my ancestors didn’t die in either of the World Wars, but other people did, and I want to honor that sacrifice.
Apart from Easter weekend my hols have been kind of lonely so far, so I've been playing a ludicrous amount of The Sims. I always seem to send my Sims home from random places in really crap moods. And I had Sophs and Harry on vacation (as pictured) and they stayed the night in a tent, and when I sent Sophie to bed her Energy thing went up like you'd expect sleep to (...after the...other activities to be had in a tent), but her Comfort went all the way down to nothing? They need to get some freakin' snowfoams, if not an airbed (though I slept on one of those at Mangaweka and I slept really badly cos the damn thing kept moving when I moved). But on the upside I think I'm getting the hang of the relationship thing! I'm so working the pause button, and also cheating outrageously for money and getting rid of rubbish and puddles. It's really fun having all the expansion packs, I've got one house where my boys get begged by random stray animals a LOT, and I keep sending the Caryl Sim off to Studiotown to try and make it big.
This is the downside of having Unleashed: Clare the Bear keeps wandering around the neighborhood to the vast WTF?? of me and the waking up of any Sims I have asleep. She came right into the Niall house and tried to go for the honey making kit, but I sold the honey just before she got to it. It's actually really disturbing.
Disclaimer: None of the photos outside of the meme were taken by me, especially seeing as I didn't bring the camera on camp.
Have been working on my short film a bit. It'll be...interesting.
