Evel Knievel was seriously before my time. I don’t even think I saw a picture of him until today, and that’s only because I found out he died. I’ve heard about him all my life, just as the crazy guy with the motorcycle who did insane thing like jump over the Grand Canyon (did he really do that by the way? Or is that some kind of rumor?) and buses and stuff.

The crazy thing, to me anyway, is that he died at 69 of failing health or diabetes… that just seems wrong. You’d think Evel Knievel would die doing something outrageous, not from health problems. That seems like Superman dying of cancer and Spiderman contracting AIDS. It’s just wrong.

New theme. No, calm down, I didn’t make it, but I’ve been tweaking it and will continue to tweak it. I don’t care if you like it or not. It works pretty well and I’ll make it work better, so keep your shirt on. Plus, it’s pretty.

I’m also going to be actually working on Melilyn this week. I’ve got a photo section that’s up but needs to match the site, and I’ve revamped the “about” and “site” pages. I want to get writing up really soon, and I’m also thinking about adding book/movie reviews… since I read and see movies so often.

In other news, I fail at blogathons.

In other other news, I’ve waited a week before telling you all but… I got a guitar! I’ll have to get a picture up here to show you my new baby. I’m having a lot of fun with it so far, too, even though it’s had its discouraging moments so far. I’ve been getting a lot of encouragement, and I’ve already had a few moments of whoa, was that actually music?

That’s what I’ve been up to.

I’ve got a brand new digital camera. It’s a Kodak Easyshare, 6.1MP, and it’s quite a nice improvement from my broken $20 WalMart knock-off.

Pictures of all kinds, I suspect, shall be coming soon. YAY!
