In the News

Lord of the Rings Lothlorien Gift Pack It shipped! In no time at all, I’ll have my supercool Lothlorien gift pack. I can’t wait until Hobbit and I get our own place so I can set up all our toys. :clown:

It was ten years ago that the Oklahoma City bombing occurred. That’s (selfishly) sad to me. Ten years ago, I was fresh out of grad school and working in NC (for the first time). Since then, I’ve been a few places and done a few things, but I’m still no closer to figuring out the rest of my life. Sadly, I’m not even concerned about it. The fact that I’m not is probably the scariest part. I’m just a little too content right here….and I soooo shouldn’t be.

Football news: Sam Mills died. I’m sure if you need to hear the details, you know how to find them. I really liked him and hate to see a non-jock superstar go so young. He’ll have company soon, though. ESPN just acquired the rights to Monday Night Football. It’s as good as dead. MNF belongs on ABC. Why? Because it does.

I listened to Garbage’s new CD. I like it, but I was really hoping for some vid inspiration. I didn’t get that. Oh well. Let’s go play with the old toys while we await the new!
[Edit: man, tons of news today. New pope. Rob and Amber were married Saturday. 😥 I guess I’m happy for them :cussing:]

Two Guys and a Girl

This is going to be a very brief update. I am so sleepy that I can barely stay awake long enough to type two sentences. Went to Charleston to see Ben and meet his Jesse yesterday. They’re just about the perfect blend of similar/different in almost every way. I give it my full approval. 😉 After having Mexican, we went to the Dead Mall where I found a TTT Boromir, Captain of Gondor figure that I just :love::love::love:. I bought Hobbit a bunch of new toys and myself some jeans, magazines, and more Boromir toys in the form of AoME. We had Pizza Hut for dinner and then took the Entertainment Weekly trivia quizzes for Star Wars and general knowledge. Damn, we’re really smart. 😯 I’m sure I’ll have much more to say later, but for now, it’s naptime for me and Da Hob.

Order up!

Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Series 5 Figure: Dark Galadriel This is just one of my items pre-ordered today. Let’s see, I got Dark Galadriel, Lothlorien pack, Eye of Sauron, and, oh yes, Boromir (with sound!).

The haircut is awesome. I love it. It’s chin-length with tons of choppy layers. Now that I have only one chin, I can wear it like this. *preens*

I caved

While on a mission to purchase ONLY haircolor and conditioner, I bought more toys. I got Last Alliance Gil-Galad so that my Elrond would have someone to smooch fight alongside him, 111th Birthday Bilbo (with barrel to stand on!!), and the Armies of Middle Earth Fellowship set. Yup.
