While searching for something in my junk drawer, I stumbled upon one of the pages from my old LOTR page-a-day calendars. For whatever reason, I always save the days with Boromir. Just one quick glance at the page made my heart skip a beat and I honestly became breathless at the sight.
It’s funny that when I first started into the fandom, I was a Faramir girl, but as soon as I started vidding, it was all about Boromir (and of course, Sean Bean). It’s just love. :love: Seriously.
I wish someone would block eBay from my computer (in a way). I’ve only used it three times, but each of those times I went nuts. In the span of three minutes tonight, I bid on the l.e.i. shoes that I had and ruined (new, black instead of my beloved brown ones), a Zune 120 (which I’m sure I’ll be outbid on, thank heaven), and flat out bought a 2005 LOTR Page-a-day calendar. I loved the 2005 version; all full of gloss and greatness (unlike the 2006 which was flat and dull).
Yes, I need help. I had to buy an outdated calendar because they don’t make them anymore. Except for the day of the week, I can use it with no problem. I use the old pages as hall passes for the students, so you can see that having the calendar was an absolute MUST. Mom bought me a Harry Potter version last year, and I just don’t get the same thrill each day when I see the new picture. The 2005 version is trilogy inclusive, which means lots of Boromir. Oh, god, just think if they made a Boromir Page-a-day calendar! I’d buy 100 of them to have on reserve. Oh! This is amazing–the company I bought the calendar from was Intergalactic Trading Company; the same place I bought all my SG-1 patches for Dragon*Con…and I didn’t even realize it until after I had bought it. FATE, dammit!
Spamalot didn’t happen because something so wonderously magnificent happened instead. One of the students located a HUGE comic store in Times Square and thought I’d like to go, and was he right! This Boromir figure just jumped ahead of my Fellowship set as my favorite item in Fandom Room. I’m so in love with it I think I could die. I also scored two SG-1 Figures. I wish they had had a Carter, but I was able to pick up the Colonel O’Neill (better looking that General, and slightly more so than Black Ops O’Neill) and Jaffa Warrior Teal’c, who just looks amazing!
Yes, it’s been a good day in NYC afterall. I’ll be home this time tomorrow, and I’m actually ready to get home ASAP.
I want to see Ben and Jesse (hopefully) on their way home from Dollywood and now that Coley is around, I want to talk to her some more, too! Shrader and I will need to hang out and, oh, you get the picture. :love:
Ever since I started unintentionally collecting LOTR figures, I have scoured toy departments of every store I see. In the last year or so, it’s become increasingly difficult to find them. It makes sense, really, when you think that the film blitz is over and nearly every character has multiple incarnations already. But like a trooper, I haven’t given up. Imagine my glee then, in finding a NEW figure that I didn’t even know existed in my local KayBee Toystore! For the ridiculously low price of $3.99, I got a Council Legolas! I also picked up a spare Boromir at the same price (since I have, um, removed mine from the packaging…repeatedly). Through my loathe of Ebay, I even bid on, and won, a Denethor. Now all I have to do is win my Saruman and I’ll be so happy.
Yes, I am easy to please. I know it. We all know it. *g*
