"Preslashed for my Convenience"

So I saw RotK with Bunny and Obi.

Before we got there, I gave Obi fair warning: no cheering, no dancing in the aisles, etc during battle scenes. And to be honest, my tiny Uruk-Hai was very good.

We caught the end of the trailer for The Punisher. And one for Butterfly Effect (which is a definite "Must catch on HBO")

My thoughts on RotK:

Aren't any of the Minas Tirith folk acrophobic? I'd have fallen at some point.

Feeeel the fluffy Pippin Love!

You know the movie hasn't swept you up when you nip out during a battle to relieve yourself.

You know you're really not being swept up when you're going "ooo, trapunto work!" and "oooo smocking!" and "Oooooo, I could make that: simple yoke, gathered set-in sleeves!"

Is it me, or does Elrond look as if he's had particularly painful dental surgery through the whole thing?

"Plant tomatoes today" is now on Ashcroft's list.

FBI Issues Alert Against Almanac Carriers

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning.

We've entered the Twilight Zone folks.

Diuerse Dissasters as Granny Weatherwax's would say.


Terroristic selections from my Old Farmer's Almanac collection:

"America is a fine country, but it suffers from a dearth of harpists."

"Wear a yellow and a black garter to church Easter Sunday. Wear them every Sunday after, and you'll be married in the year."

"1920: Soviet geneticists invent seedless corn."

"Plant root crops on a waxing moon."

"Last frost tonight."
