A rotten practice means a good play, right? Lol, not with this group. Oh well.

I am *so* jazzed up for The Two Towers. Yay!!! I've been reading the books, watching the movie, gazing longingly at the picture galleries on the DVD (and wishing, in vain, that I could somehow capture and save the pictures......but it doesn't work! AARGH!) and listening to Tolkien music. I have this tape with Toklien himself singing the song about the troll....."THe troll sat alone on his seat of stone/and munched and mumbled on an old bare bone....." Simply magnificent.
Speaking of which, I think I'll go read some more of FotR.

Outside my window I have five scarlet cardnels, three indigo buntings and various wrens and black capped chickidees. Ooo, they're so cute. ; ) I have no idea what they're finding, but it's sweet to watch.

Yesterday was great! Because I got a new bookshelf. ; ) I had run out of room on my lovely little antique bookshelf, and had these stacks of books in the closet. Grandma gave me a really nice thin, tall bookshelf that she didn't need in their house anymore; it's something grandpa built when I was two years old. He was a really great carpenter before he got 'old'.
The problem, of course, was finding room for it. My bedroom isn't minuscule or anything, but by the time it has a double bed, big desk, antique dresser, little bookshelf, and chest, it is....pleasingly cozy. But I rearranged things (a joy) and now it's still pleasing cozy plus another bookshelf.
It was a lot of fun to arrange books on the new shelf. I like seeing them all out. ; ) I loooove books.

I'm continuing the topic of books. My favorite, lol. I'm going to the bookstore today, so I hope I can find some new books. I know I've said this before--often--but I have the best bookstore ever here in town! It's the kind with piles of dusty old books stacked everywhere....tons and tons of books. And piles of old sheet music, too. I'm a little wierd, but I love used books. New one's are great, of course, but used ones are cheaper and have character. I love when I can get one with underlining, or notes jotted in the margins, or an incription in the front.
It's also a nice store because I know the owner pretty well; a lot of his relatives go to the same church I do. And I go there so often that I think I'm in the "loyal customer" book. ; )
