Some days, you just can't do anything right. Especially on the days that start out with your choir teacher telling you in varied language and contemptuous tones exactly how impossible it is for you to get anything right today. If you could do anything right, you would be able to sing this half-step scale with absolutely no mishaps, and since you can't, it must be assumed that you didn't turn on your brain this morning.

Hey! It's cool how Michelle has so many cool things to wrote about. Her Favourite Things February is a pretty nice idea. I probably don't have enough things I'm a fan of to do something like that (I can be pretty boring). But my cool thing to write about for today is ice dancing! I know a lot of people wouldn't describe it as "cool", but seriously, look at those couples! They're moving exactly together while zooming around on ice with blades strapped to their feet. What's not to admire? It seems like ice dancing came along when some ballroom dancers decided that they were pretty bored just dancing around on regular floors, so why not do it on ice about three times faster? They have cool costumes, too. The only thing I don't understand is how it became an Olympic sport.

I'm planning to finish Dune tonight and tomorrow write a review of it. Let me just tell you now - it's not going to be very favourable. The premise is fantastic. The execution is not.
