I know you were Bear... and I for one, am relieved. Course this is just the Demo version. Perhaps the pigs can be picked up in the full version. But for now let's hope not!

Hello everyone, I was away yesterday, tried getting on with my laptop, finally figured out that FR was frozen, glad that's over.

Didn't have the chat room bookmarked on the laptop and couldn't figure out how to get in, better get it bookmarked there too.

Anyway, good evening.

The extra hour was nice this am.

Heh... Yeah... My browser acts so possessed sometimes that it takes me awhile to confirm that it isn't just me when FR is down.

Pretty quiet today, I am tired from my late night last night. I didn't get home from watching movie at brother's house till after 1:00 am, and even then I was amped on coffee so I was awake for awhile. Dad visited here this morning on his way back from his trip to Vegas, and that's about it!

I'm here.

I'm cleaning my emails out of my mac. I know I have about 10,000 emails that I'm having to delete. It's taking forever.

I have returned from my stint as a noble yet windy elf.

Everyone thought I was Elrond, because when I got all the garb and wig and makeup on, I turned into, apparently, the spittin' image of the actor who played Elrond. This is odd because my wig was platinum blond (not dark), and sans getup I don't think I look like that actor at all!

But they froze the DVD on a close up of Elrond and stuck me next to the TV, and all agreed that I and Elrond were separated at birth.

Photos still in the camera (I haven't gone digital yet). But hopefully, some of the many who had digital cameras will send me some that they took, so I can post them.

I was the only male elf at the party. But there were 3 Arwen's, 3 Galadriel's and couple of generic female elf types. An Ent showed up. One of the funniest, most inventive costumes I've ever seen -- it was great. A couple of hobbits, (one came in a perfect costume as Frodo, big feet and all, except he had a beard!), one Gandalf, one Saruman, a barmaid from the Prancing Pony, an Aragorn, one who came as J.R. Tolkien, 2 Orcs, one guy came as a sword, 2 Ringwraiths, a couple other generic Hobbits (apparently the feet are easy to find), an Eowyn, a Gimli, and a couple of generic human female types in appropriate costumes, among others.

The sets were great, particularly the tunnels of Moria (so good one woman sprained her ankle stumbling in the dark). They were long and like a maze (made out of black plastic with 2x4 framing). There was the well in Moria, a little hobbit hole, Rivendell, Lothlorien (outside side in the trees with a large fire pit), Mt. Doom and a small, murky pond representing the lake outside the gates of Moria. The only lighting in places (like around Mt. Doom) were blacklights or those little light sticks, which gave off a eery look.

All in all, everyone went to quite an effort and it turned out great.

No kidding! - I want to see all that! And make sure you get them in e-format! Or some of the photo places (Rite Aid I think) will post them online for you!

We've still got a bunch of unexposed shots on the role...and, well, we're kind of parsimonious about wasting rolls. But I'm gonna try and get some of the digital photos Tuesday, when one of the party-hosts comes to work. There was a good one of me (that I saw) that a guy with a digital camera took with one of the Gandalfs (Gandalf the Purple, he was) behind me. We were at the bon fire in Lothlorien.
