Well, I had a splendid entry all set and ready to go...

but my computer crashed. It's up to its old power tricks again where it will suddenly die.

So, I'm exhausted because I spent today rearranging my bedroom furniture and putting together a new bed frame (a $28 jobber from Costco, nothing fancy).

That was my point of my earlier entry, with lots more detail, but c'est la vie. YKWIS.

I also bought 6 of the Anne of Green Gables books since I watched the videos last weekend (hi Chrissy!) and enjoyed them so much. Yesterday I read the entire first book. It's been 10 or 15 years since I've read a book in a day, and it felt awfully good, I must admit.

Of course, the adult books I bought in March are still languishing unread, but these AOGG books I shall read and read soon.

Now playing: _Turandot_ by Puccini, with Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti. 1972-ish recording. Stunningly beautiful overall but it has some weird parts. It's growing on me, though. There's one theme on disc 2 which is just exquisite. *swoon* And "Nessun dorma" is purty fine as well.

Ah, that theme I just wrote about is now playing. It's sort of a duet with Mondo Big Chord Progressions and lots of high, sustained notes. Really quite lovely.

Amanda, I've been searching for that song you want, but I've only found things by the Bee Gees and by Credence Clearwater Revival (whom I cannot abide). So sorry.
