I always thought the Nazgul were super creepy. I loved how they looked in the Jackson movies because they were so dark and nightmare-ish that I really felt like they could kill you easily.

It is a super grey day/ evening right now. It was bright and sunny this morning, but after I got home from ballet class, the heavens opened and dumped rain on the expectant earth. The good part of all this rain we have been having is that it cools everything down. The bad part is that the mosquitoes are getting worse and worse. Mosquitoes tend to think that I am the most succulent human ever. If they are there, they are biting me.

My ballet recital is a week from today. AGH! How did it sneak up on me like this? I'm really excited, but a little nervous. I'm not wearing them in the recital, but I finally finished darning my pointe shoes. I think I got them my senior year in high school. They are super old and comfy. I'll post a tutorial on how to darn pointe shoes next week. It isn't really hard and once you get the hang of it, but it can take some time. Today, one of them took me two hours of uninterrupted work. They aren't perfect, but they will work, which is the point of it all. I'm going to start wearing them in class again after the recital.

That's all for now! Look out for more WtM updates this next week.
