This is Cuivienen, the lake beside which Tolkien's
elves first woke and gazed up at the stars. It was so beautiful...
and when I heard Enya's song Shepherd Moons, I knew it was the perfect
descriptor. The parts with the singing are the elves singing in wonder
and the echoes of their song coming from deep within the forest... the
instrumental parts are their silent contemplation of the stars. It
was so gorgeous... It made me cry a couple times, it was so beautiful.
This picture doesn't nearly do it justice. I should do a new one with
the new art markers I was given.I went to a concert by Hexaphone yesterday, and they were very good! I liked it a lot, but I didn't like Karel Roessingh, the jazz pianist, so much. His music is jerky and not smooth. I guess that's just his style, but I don't like that style.
And yesterday I spent some time in teeth-grinding, fist-clenching rage. Too bad I don't know how to give a 'cold shoulder'; everyone just thinks I'm sulking about nothing. I drew a picture about it, and coloured it with the new markers. I'm not very good yet, because it was a bit blotchy, and I need a real inking pen, but the markers are very good. That's why I got the idea to do a new picture of Cuivienen.
Just now I finally finished the Wallace and Gromit movie, and it's actually good, now that I got past the worst part. My brother had to reassure me several times that "no one gets found out", my worst fear ever. (I hated reading Freaky Friday, in case you're wondering) I liked all the little allusions, such as "Dogwarts" and the whole thing at the end where Wallace rescues Lady Tottie (coughkingkongcough). Although the bit where Gromit and Percy stop fighting to recharge their mini-plane was stupid, I enjoyed it anyway.
