Now I'm hungry....

LORD OF THE RINGS - THE HOBBIT FEAST
DOWNTOWN, JAN 7, 10:30 AM
Peter Jackson, 2001-2003, 35mm, 12 hours, PG, $88

You’ve got to hand it to those hobbits, they sure know how to eat. As any self respecting fan can tell you, it takes a lot of fuel to drive the hobbit engine. That’s why they eat seven times a day. Exective chef John Bullington has created a seven meal feast, one for each of the different hobbit mealtimes (1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, etc.), spread out over the twelve hours it takes to watch the entire middle earth trilogy. Interpreted from actual meals referenced in the books, the Hobbit Feast is the ultimate Lord of the Rings sensory experience.

Awww, man, between the Hobbit Feast, VM marathon and the Bubblegum Movie, the Alamo totally wins The Coolest Theater In America Contest.

tommyrot, be careful with missing the steroid doses. They're usually drugs you have to taper off of, rather than just stop taking, so I'm thinking skipping a dose isn't good.

Timelies all!

Congrats to the flea family!

Hmmm, I just got an invitation to a baby shower for my friend who's due next month.(Yes, the one whose shower I was potentially supposed to host) Looks like her sister-in-law is throwing it at the end of the month...

The prescription notes should say what to do in case of a missed dose.

Okay--I called and bailed on PT. You can tell he pities me, because he doesn't give me any guff. Normally he's a gufferator.

Next up, leave work.

Kate Beckinsale is generic. I guess it's nice that there are generic Hollywood blondes and generic brunettes. It's like variety.

Tom probably already posted this story.

I posted it, yesterday, Gud. Creeepy, huh?

Do we think that ... in last night's Waking the Dead? Was it the season finale?

*I* think so. Mostly because the BBCA stuff tends to be grittier and less fantastical and none of his different injuries looked particularly survivable, certainly not all together .

I test drove the TSX, and it turned like a bus

This is sad. There are so few cars I think are interesting and attractive already, having one taken away for boggling performance issues is just mean. I mean, Acuras that I have driven in the past have been delightful, nimble and spunky.

IMO, bringing wine gives a message of "I'm nice!" with subtle overtones of "Let's get schnookered and make out!"

You should definitely bring wine.

is it bad if you put coffee grounds down a kitchen sink with a disposal?

I am told... Usually by my friends when I put their coffee grounds down the disposal. I have none, *and* I rent, what I do I know from disposal care?

Also there is a bug on the wall and no cat to chase and eat it. It's got wings and isn't within reach. I don't think I have the mad pouncing skillz to stop it. Where are my damn cats?

---

Cass--shoe. Shoes always work well as bug-killing instruments of death.

My cat found the Semi-Annual Big Honking Bug that shows up in my apartment a couple of times a year (always in the living room, and always as big as my thumb, if not bigger) a few days ago, and was having fun playing with it until I crushed it with a paper bag. I hated to stop her enjoyment, but all I could think about was what if it got away from her under the couch, and then reappeared on my head. Eww!

The BF suggested the Honda Accord EX V6 and the Altima.
