And I go over to the DOSE thread to gey away from the Bush bashers.
It's not supposed to be a political thread but I'm afraid it's subject matter invites the TROLLS, I think you should go over there from time to time to catch some of them trolls. LOL!
doing fine! Have been watching a certain English captain more than a Uniformed Prince of Halflings of late...I got rather burned out on LOTR due to a 'friend' of mine whose entire conversation circled around her favorite bits and characters and no matter how I tried to change the subject, always steered the conversation around to her way of thinking. It got old fast. But there are other reasons why I really don't wish to associate with her anymore.
I like to break away from things myself...gives me a chance to get a breather so that when I do return, I have a fresher perspective...and perhaps a bit more humor about it. Patrick O'Brian has turned out to be the perfect diversion. Its so unlike Tolkien and fantasy that emotions I had long thought gone have been resurrected. I have SUCH a crush on Jack Aubrey, and delight all the time on Stephen Maturin and O'Brian writes so wonderfully, I am having such fun. I am sure by the time LOTR:ROTK comes out in Extended form, I will be ready to view it with a fresh eye. And then I'll be wanting more pictures of Ernil i Pheriannath!
