I didn't know that piano could make you hungry?

Well, it can, because I just spent 65 minutes on the piano and I'm going back to do another 30 as soon as I recover, and while I did eat breakfast I'm definitely ravenously hungry. Maybe moving your fingers is better exercise than I thought. Which reminds me of what's really a horrible quote:

[Me practicing while siblings are playing a very loud game with a ball directly behind me]
Me: Guys, can you PLEASE be quiet?! I'm trying to concentrate!
Brother: *blinks* How do you need to concentrate? You're just moving your fingers?

Yes, I did piano for ten years to learn how to move my fingers. Right.

To-Dos for today include tossing some stuff in a backpack cause I get to visit my grandparents today and tomorrow (YAY), catching up on math, and then finishing the various graphics I've agreed to do, including awards for a recent contest (four more to go), a Jars of Clay banner, and a banner from the first scene of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I have these weird spurts where I like to make graphics, so I figure I might as well go with it.

This is a week of season finales, incidentally. House and Bones were both on Monday, the two-hour finale of NCIS was last night (though I haven't watched it yet) and American Idol is ending this evening, THANK GOODNESS. It is a little depressing, though, how there won't be anything interesting to watch over the summer.

While I'm at it, a couple interesting links for anyone who happens to be reading and has some spare time on their hands:

Don't Panic, a superbly well done fanfic about a modern-day young woman who gets dropped into Middle-Earth, except instead of instantly falling madly in love with Aragorn, dueling Sauron and becoming the worst Mary-Sue to ever walk the earth, she finds that medieval life isn't all it's cracked up to be, and has to learn Sindarin in order to communicate with anyone. It's really good, trust me, and it has a sequel called "Okay, NOW Panic!"

Weird Canadian Place Names. I found this because Jamie and I were discussing it, and there are some really odd ones in there - the best being Ochiichagwebabigoining in Ontario. I kid you not.

As an afterthought, I'm considering switching my blog over to somewhere else; I'm finding Blogger a bit boring. Any suggestions?

Weather: Rainy.
