I now can play "The Shire" Lord of the Rings theme on the tinwhistle.
YAY.
Finally found sheet music online for it and it's really quite a simple piece for the most part. I might do a video of me playing it in the near future, although I don't know how to upload videos to youtube. Maybe I should figure that out? :D It's been fun, teaching myself how to play the tinwhistle. I really find joy in it. I'm getting better and better at it; it is a simple instrument to learn (at least for me, or maybe I'm just a fast learner).
In other news, I finished reading My Antonia by Willa Cather, which was sort of boring. Definitely a literature class sort of book, which is, incidentally, where my sister actually read it in the first place and insisted I read. Now, I don't have things against lit books for classes. In fact, I actually kept the copy of Metamorphoses by Ovid from my Greek and Roman class last semester. (The myths are SO good in it, and I plan on using it for another contest on DeviantART.) And I also liked one other book my sis recommended to me (I'll remember the title after I'm done posting this). But My Antonia was...meh. I wouldn't read it again. Luckily I'm reading Fellowship of the Ring and it's much better, even though I'm only into the first chapter of it.
Might make a snowman tomorrow. We got a few inches of snow here today, and it makes me happy. Winter has finally come? Maybe? Possibly? :)
I had a theater class once - out final project was putting together one of the short plays from Ovid's Metamorphoses. My group was the Midas myth.
