Plagioclase’s mother has been watching the extended DVDs of all three of The Lord of the Rings movies, as well as every single DVD extra. One disc a night for about the last three weeks. If I never hear that duh-da-dum-dee-da-dah-dum again, it will be too soon.
Which sucks, because I did like the movies, especially since they gloss over all the trudging that’s in the book…
Who knew she’d turn into such a fan-girl?

I was a wimp last week. I got better from the swimming (and even returned yesterday — taking it easier, but still…). Today, however, was an even worse experience.
I got shots of steroids in my hip joints. Both of them. The staff all told me that it was like getting a shot at the dentist’s, but what they didn’t say was that it was like getting a shot followed by a chaser in a space not meant to hold that much liquid.
I could use a shot now, I think.
However, I’m resting in bed watching kung-fu movies. Takes my mind off of my own problems, you know? I just finished Kung Fu Hustle; Hero is next. I may take a break with Eddie Izzard…
Plagioclase and I went to JoAnn Fabrics Etc. to get some stuff… it was filled to the brim with Hallowe’en decor, most of it pre-made. I understand the need for crafters to get started, but pre-made??
At least it wasn’t christmas cards, which I happened to see at Borders the other day. That’s just sick.
