Again
I haven't been online in forever again. I visited home to watch LOTR with my folks. Extended editions, of course. Twas lovely. I love the books dearly, and I don't entirely agree with everything they changed in the movies (and I wish they would have added in some of the stuff they left out...like Tom Bombadil, I'd love to see him acted out), but for a movie based off a book, it really was done well. And I love the music, especially the Rohan theme, but the other themes too. And while I was home, I started rereading The Silmarillion, which I had taken home in case my mother had questions (she has never gotten through the books, but she always asks questions every time we watch the movie about background and stuff). And of course, once I had reread that, I was all hyped up to reread The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, too. But as I keep getting sidetracked, I'm only halfway through Two Towers at the moment. I even interrupted my rewatching of InuYasha for this. I've also recently acquired various new/used books - I had a coupon for Barnes and Noble, and there I bought the three volumes of Legal Drug since I generally like CLAMP's stuff. They were a pretty good read. I also bought some Tolkien-ish stuff (Unfinished Tales, The Tolkien Companion, and The Languages of Middle Earth), another mythology book, and some (clearance!) manga at Half-Price Books. I applied for a job there (again), but still haven't heard back. Sigh. Anyway, I want to finish all of my rereading and rewatching so that I can get onto these library books...oops. They will be due soon, and I haven't even started on them. I might have to renew again...
