…further up and further in
There’s a new way to share music online. It’s like a mix tape from the “old days”. You just upload the music you want to share and your friends can listen in. There’s no downloading, so hopefully it’s all legitimate. It seemed a little slow at first, but maybe that will get ironed out over time.
Mine is here: http://glennal.muxtape.com/.
And you can sign up here.
[Thanks for the tip Alaina!]
I finished reading the second part of the first volume of Tolstoy’s War & Peace. I got a little sidetracked and had to put it down for a while. School got a bit more demanding. Because of that, I’m glad that I’m keeping my own summary of the events of the story.
The scene has shifted away from the drawing rooms of the Russian aristocracy and to the war with Napoleon. Only a few of the characters introduced in the first part are present here (Prince Andrei and Rostov). However, several new ones make an appearance. My favorite two, although I don’t know what kind of parts they will play (if any) in the rest of the story, are the calvary officer Denisov and the artillery commander Tushin. I hope we meet them again.
In the narrative arc I mentioned a few posts ago, I think the story is still in the introduction of the characters and in the description of the setting. I’m still not sure what the main conflict is going to revolve around. The next section has 24 chapters. So you can probably expect the next update in about a month. But don’t hold me to it.
