first half-persian 4-in-1 chain!

(posted March. 20/06)

Heya!

I'm super happy right now. I just finished my first chainmail necklace... a beautiful half-persian 4-in-1 chain, made with 1/4" ID galvinized rings. I can't wait until I've got enough to order some sterling silver or gold-plated wire... my jewelery will be to die for!

I was sick this last week. I don't know why. It seems I might be allergic to tree pollen or something of the sort... in any case, I seem to have gotten over it 2 days ago. I woke up with a little bit of a sore throat this morning, but I believe that is due to my not drinking enough water.

And I've found a new interest, perhaps even a new hobby. Chess. I admit I was always a little intrigued by chess. I thought it was a game smart grown-ups would play. :P (Besides, they play 3D chess in Star Trek: TNG... I guess that kind of pushed me over the edge. lol) So, I got ChessGenius Classic 7.1, and I enjoy getting my ass kicked around the board by the engine. LOL I also love to watch the computer play against itself. Very cool.

Yay! I'm a nerd! I love it!

Nan lent me her chess set so I could play with Mom. She's not bad, but I've beat her two times already. Not boasting, just saying. :D

I also looked up places to play chess in downtown Montreal, and there's the Chess Club there which I'm hoping I can join one day, if I'm still interested.

Yeah... so, it's almost 4 p.m. I think I'll put away the clothes I folded last night, and tidy up my room a bit as well. Then I'll do the dishes... and after that I'll either cut some more rings (I'm out of 1/4" rings now lol) or I'll take an hour long break and play UT2004.

In any case, I will try and update within the next week. See you around. :)
