That's what it is isn't it... random clipart images! The person staring at the pilatir is not saruman by any stretch.

Good morning! I got up about 20 minutes ago...not too bad considering I was up from 2:15am to 5am! Sipping coffee and eating graham crackers with a glass of milk.

Good morning! - Some of that article did sound familiar from something you posted... I posted it for the last paragraph, which had me twittery...

"Post-production crews are already hard at work, fitting the new celluloid into their working cut of The Two Towers; and what's more, they already have a rough preview of The Return of the King, the trilogy's final segment, completed. Even as the December 18th release date for Towers approaches, Jackson is looking ahead to the final installment. "

Looks like that woman fortune teller in Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure! What was her name? Madame Rose?

And then in walks Conan the Barbarian.... I don't even want to consider the pink and purple Gandalf.

This is worse than anything Bakshi ever did!

Ernie Keebler is better than Maid Marion with a bow.

The whole thing made me twittery! I absolutely can not wait, Hair! But I'm maintaining some semblance of calm. I can't get as worked up as I did for that preview this early or I'm afraid I'll stroke out by the time the movie gets here!

Matthew and I went to the .50 theater and watched it the other day. The film looked worn, but still...it was great.

Our local line party is getting together for a viewing of the DVD on the 9th.

I think the bow-and-arrow person is a representation of a classical Greek warrior, or some kind of pre-dark-ages archer.

I'm off to do some work... later all!

LOL! He actually asked me if they had LOTR underwear once! (He has Star Wars underwear, so I guess it just seems reasonable to him! Don't all movies come out with underwear to go with them?!!)

Seems like if they put out campy facial tissue packets, they ought to have put out underwear!

And apparently, according to this article... they are out there somewhere!

For all the snobbery of the elite fans, they too have been drawn to the mounds of Tolkien toys. The kids' underwear may make them cringe but, following the studio's grand plan, there is something for everyone.

What happened to all our dwarves?

I'm here. Sort of. On a break right now from a meeting that will last until 2:00 p.m. Need to wake up.

Later...

It's supposed to be 100 here today without the heat index factored in.

We've been in the low 80s and even high 70s the last couple of weeks. Today it's heading up to 90! I"ve already weenied out and turned on the A/C! But I'm glad it is warm because our son is at Boy Scout Camp, and the swimming will be a lot more comfortable with the warmer weather.

Oh what an altruistic thing to do! It can't possibly be because the gift might be something MOM wants also, right?
