i want a pet war elephant
Finally went out to see the last LOTR tonight with my friends Jon and Gabriel. While I was hoping it wouldn't be crowded, the line literally went around the block. I assume the production costs for the film are now paid for. Anyway, it was great, but I agree with my friends who said that the hobbits should just kiss and move in together already. Pippin + Merry, Frodo + Samwise, accordingly, and possibly Gimli and Legolas.
Anyhow, we loved the whole Shelob scene. The animation was just incredible. So were the battles, catapult and like I said before I want a War Elephant for Christmas next year. I'll name him Stampy and I'll ride him to work and feed him and hug him and call him George. Lotsa woofy Gondorian warriors too, and me liked Aragorn with the full beard goin' on at the end.
MAL weekend is over. I moderated my intake of woofiness this year, which wasn't hard as my libido is at a remarkable low lately. I attribute that to the bitterly cold weather and work stress. Anyhow, met a guy I'm pretty keen on at the cigar social on Saturday, then at the dance on Sunday. Got to dance with and do some other things there with him too. The funny part is that his online profile uses the same name as one of my AOL profiles, he lives near where I used to live on the Hill, and spent some time in Wisconsin. He's a computer game addict too. We'll see how that goes. Also sat myself down during a disco break and chatted with a furry Daddy type from London, who played rugby for 15 years, but he wasn't too into the jimbo, sadly. Happened to meet the geekslut as well, who was a very nice guy. I mentioned to Mitzhi the perceptions we have of bloggers until we meet them in person, as in what we read versus what we percieve in person. A lot of people picture Mizthi as this wild Eagle gurl, but in person he's rather reserved, and well dressed of course. Sorta like what Jessica Rabbit once said, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

Legolas doing the "Elven Acrobatics" on the Oliphaunt was sweet
The Elves of Imladris reforging Narsgil into Aundruil.(cool seeing it)
But I really would like my own Army of the Dead, that would truly be sweet.
