C and I just finished watching (over the course of a week or so) all three Extended Editions of Lord of the Rings.
Those movies are WITHOUT A DOUBT some of my favorites ever. Scenes still move me the way they did in the theatre. Heck, scenes from Return of the King still remind me of what Trilogy Tuesday was like. Yet, I am still finding things that I didn't notice before (though darned if I could name one now -- stupid memory!).
We need more movies like these. 300 came close, in one way, but over all, it still fell short. Even Star Wars (the first one, the one I consider sacrosanct) doesn't measure up. (Don't get me started on the prequels, and I always felt that Star Wars was the best of the original three, even though Empire Strikes Back was truly awesome, too.) I sense a forthcoming LJ post, listing my top ten favorite movies of all time (again? can't remember).
I know I promised pictures of my room once it was done, and it is done. I'm not going to fuss with taking pictures tonight, but look for them soon. I'm rather proud of the way it turned out. It's mature, but there's hints here and there (if you know where to look) of my geekiness still. The thing I particularly like is that it's not hitting you upside the head with it, like at the apartment (or really, any room I've ever had).
Finally, I didn't get a call today about an appointment with that hernia surgeon, so I am going to call them tomorrow to find out what is going on, as well as ask about my ability to get some kind of doctor's note for work, so that I don't kill myself before I have the chance to get this worked on. C did some research, and discovered that it could theoretically be fixed without invasive surgery (C has a hernia too, but in a different location, so I kinda have a support group right here in the house with me).
Now, I'm gonna get a good hot shower, drink some Tension Tamer Tea, and go to sleep with visioins of elves, dwarves, and dragons in my head.
