'Lineage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay for treats!
I have the tree up, with lights strung and tested. The ornaments still need to go on it, but that's the sort of thing where I can add a couple now and again throughout the day. I also have the traditional tree trimming accompanyment of the Lord of the Rings DVDs playing in the background, which makes me happy. They're in the Mines of Moria right now. Poor Gimli.
I am resistant to Hobbit movies. LotR is just close enough to perfection (though RotK edges into OOT CGI for me) that I side-eye even more CGI embroidery for a much slighter story. I can't not go see them, but only once, as opposed to the near-dozen FotR in theater. And Hobbit DVDs are only because of my compulsive completeism.
I don't have the Hobbit DVDs yet. They'll have a box set next year, and I can wait for that. I don't think they're nearly as good as tLotR, but I still like them. They won't become part of my tree trimming tradition unless I get a much larger tree. Still, it's been nice to revisit Middle Earth a bit more.
Can you imagine extended versions of the Hobbit movies?
I like them well enough, but it's not like the first time...
If you want a second round of Thanksgiving treats, ita, we also have a ton of leftovers
You guys are marvellous. I'm literally just back on solid food (had a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast) after a *lot* of Ensure, and sometimes I'm too wobbly to get myself stocked up.
Kat, in the butter drawer is the turkey on a roll I forgot. *sob*
But I had a big brunch, so I should be ok. I think I have a granola bar somewhere. It might be a little smashed.
I saw that, sara. I thought it was K's. But I will have it for lunch.
ita, we'll be down late afternoon. I'm feeling wobbly and am going to lie down for a bit then we'll head out. Though frankly, I should go while the game is on.
Oh, Kat--please don't wobble and drive.
Actually, don't wobble at all.
Can you imagine extended versions of the Hobbit movies?
nooooooo. As cute as Aidan Turner is, not even for him.
*waves at the Kat/ita meet up*
We are back home from the cemetery. We had the unveiling of Liz's grave. It was simple and informal and I think we did OK even if I completely botched the reading of the Kaddish. And then we took the kids for dim sum. Isaac loved it. I was sort of overcome by the memories it all brought back, but in a good way. Plus there was turnip cake.
