Nap Time
Oyyy, what a day. Got up at 6:45 this morning to be first in line for LoTR [10 AM showing] at Oak Tree Cinemas in Seattle. I'm not *sure* I slept at all last night, either. Rather, I laid awake in a sort of stupor and looked at the pillow. Guess I must have been excited. *sheepish smile* Anyway, so we get to the theatre at, oh, 8 o'clock and there's NO ONE THERE. No one, at all. I mean, I expected it to be closed but there was no line. We'd bought tickets beforehand but we still had to pick them up at the box office... and the box office didn't even open till 9:15. It was fucking snow-cold out there. I guess some people showed up around the same time we did and just went to IHOP across the way. I don't know WHY they showed up so forsakenly early because they'd already GOTTEN their tickets! Luckily we had company who was just as hardcore as us within half an hour. Not too many people showed up before the movie started, there were plenty of seats and it certainly wasn't sold out.

But about the movie.... it gets my approval! Which is tough, I'll have to say : ) Of course, they changed a few things in strange ways, like Ms. Pretty Peggy Sue Liv Tyler actually plays a PART in the movie. And then there's the fact that it overlaps into the second book- but I think that saved it from the rather anti-climactic ending of Fellowship the novel where Frodo just kind of wanders off. I'm not sure if I liked how they did Galadriel either. But the Balrog was DAMN cool and the movie itself did a pretty good job!

I, however, am in serious need of a nap. And they I'm going to watch Moulin Rouge and read more Tolkien. And then work out. Annnnnd basically do nothing of any importance! I'm glad I'm through being in a snit, however long that lasts (at least until sometime the end of this week...) and dreams permitting, I may have a good few days.
Off to bed. Ciao! : )
