I live in the county just to right of the county above the "ity" in Oklahoma City. I think it looks like Abraham Lincoln wearing his tall hat!

Howie Long and Teri Hatcher. I thought they were married but apparently they are just acting.

You'll have to go list them.... I haven't seen them mentioned.... The Oxi Clean / Dent King guy is getting a lot of play now. And the Geico Geckko (spelled wrong?)

Well I have to report in. I had forgotten and let LOTRs slip into the past. I was looking forward to the next adventure and not really keeping up with any more LOTR stuff. My brother came home this weekend and brought me a DVD of it (full screen version). I thought "how wonderful" and laid it down until yesterday. I had some time and though I'd check her out. (now mind ya, I only have a dvd player on my computer and the only other dvd I have ever viewed was a "Little Raschels/Our Gang" dvd). I didn't even remember how to start the durn thing.

Anyway, I popped the "behind the scenes" disk first and was hooked within 10 minutes. I wanted to see the movie again, and BAD.... so I popped her in. I sat up way too late watching it last night, but just could not wait to see every last scene (and I was sorry it was over). I want to see the giant trees fight so bad in the next movie so bad I can taste it. I sure hope they do not cut out the Ents (I don't know if that is the correct spelling, please forgive, I am a half breed and don't keep up with it like ya do).

Needless to say, I will see the next chapter. Maybe not the first showing, but I will see it when the lines drop a bit. I am hooked on this DVD stuff now. I can access any scene I want, rewind and pause with a clear picture. I love that when doing a quick retake on something hard to see real good. My brother also burnt me all the soundtrack and recorded a couple of Enya videos in Mpg format. Awesome stuff indeed......

So glad you enjoyed it so much! - How fun to get a big kick out of it and stay up late! Hope you aren't paying too much for it today!

I needed to hear your rave about it! - we had a guy come in and rip the film to pieces last week! - You cheer me! Can you tell? - All of my sentences end in exclamation points!

If you want to take part in a bit more TTT anticipation, you should read and catch up with our Two Towers reading group.... We are only on chapter 4 now... (Treebeard, coincidentally!)

Anyway, here is the thread. Check it out and let me know if you want to be on the ping list. We start new chapters usually on Fridays...

Oh - and no - they are not cutting out the ents... I have seen a few traces of him already, and PJ assures us that he is in the film...

His voice will be played by John-Ryse Davies (Gimli).

It is nice to hear such enthusiasm! That 30-complaints wet blanket was a bummer.

Hi again - had a bummer, the Popeyes wouldn't take credit cards so we had to make do with KFC, nowhere near as good. Looks like nasty weather there! Yesterday we had a storm for three hours solid - pouring rain, hail, lightning - and I was out driving in it. Nasty stuff!

Just so I am not making a fool of myself, the Ents were the giant walking/talking trees right??? right?

It has been a long time ago, please forgive...

Oh KFC is nowhere near as good as Popeyes! I love to just get their rice and beans! They really have the best side-dishes...to say nothing of the excellent spicy chicken!

We're about to get another wave of thunderstorms...I can hear them in the distance.

Well then I will just have to skip it. Someone must of sucked the magic out of their popcorn balls when they were young.

Pretty good. Work was good, I did some really repetative but important find-and-replace coding, so the secondary project we're doing is on schedule. Tomorrow I do QA and documenting on the next version of our software, which is *erp* due to be sent out to our customer on Thursday - that's about twelve hours to make any changes, so let's hope there aren't any. Three more nights of pizzas, then done. School starts on the 27th. I have to buy the tickets for the RenFest. Life is good!

And, how are you?

On a note more pleasant than the 30 item post and bad weather, the little 4 year old in LA has been found alive. Do not know enough yet to say safe.
