Jan. 4th, 2006 11:32 pmNew layout because I am obsessed.
brokenrecord__. I've been wanting a new layout for like a month but I haven't really been... into anything enough to make anything, I guess. Don't know how long this will last because it's kind of different from what I usually have, but I like it for now.
Anyways, today consisted of not doing much. I did practice my audition music some more and I think my music actually might go all right. I'm fucked for the scales, but last year when they asked me for one scale I played several notes from an entirely different scale before being all "er. Wait. No. Let me try again." and even then I still messed it up. And I still ended up getting in. So, I think the music's more important than the scales. We'll see. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
I also read Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down today, and it was excellent. I want to read more of his stuff.
Tomorrow I may be doing something with Emma and Mukul and possibly other people? We're not very good at working out the details. But I assume it will happen. I want to try to get us to see Brokeback Mountain, because I think Emma is actually interested in seeing it, and I think it would be fun to force Mukul to see it. Hey, there's more man-on-woman sex than man-on-man sex! I think we could convince him with that. And at some point, I really need to go to the animal shelter. sigh.

Date: 2006-01-05 12:09 pm (UTC)btw, what layout is this? i like it and i may change mine. i'd like to have the interest pics on the side. i used to have a layout where i could do that...but it wasn't this pretty. i guess i like my layout style now just b/c it is sooo easy to change. all my others i've had were uber-complicated.

It doesn't look much like this when you preview it, you'd probably have to find some codes somewhere (like at the Opal help LJ community) to alter it, since that's what I did. Or, actually, I think one of my LJ friends e-mailed me her codes. Opal is kind of difficult to change, but I love how it looks once you've finished.

Date: 2006-01-05 07:57 pm (UTC)He is an excellent writer. I'd heard good things about him before, but I'd never actually read anything of his. But I loved A Long Way Down, so I think I'll probably check out some of his other stuff.

Date: 2006-01-05 08:08 pm (UTC)I have been reading a bit more now which is good since I love reading, but never have the time to do it. I'm primarily into science fiction and fantasy, but I like other genres as well (actually recently I've been reading more... drama? I guess?). I think Connie Willis is my favorite writer. My favorite books by her are To Say Nothing of the Dog and Bellwether. But I've also come to like Jane Austen a lot recently, and I love Pride and Prejudice. So yeah, there you go. :)
