Ouch. If it's too bad for STV, then it's really bad.

And yet, not so bad that Sci Fi won't air it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Dude. "Riverworld".

Nothing is so bad that Sci-Fi won't air it.

I just got home from my parents' house and secular!Easter dinner and have my dad's FotR EE DVDs in my hands. Whee! I don't own them (I know, I know - I'm not quite sure why I don't either except that now I am unemployed and cannot buy it) and have not seen the EE or the documentaries in for.ever.

I'm really much more excited about this than I should be.

Resisting urge to sign this post "Ooooh DomDomDom!" 'cause that is exactly how I feel. I'm so 14.

Actually, though it had problems I was more entertained by Riverworld than not -- I particularly liked the guy they had for Sam Clemens.

Saw Hidalgo last night. Thought Mortenson had good chemistry with his horse, who really was a charmer. I hope this convinces Hollywood Mortenson is leading man material so that he gets good roles in the future.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I clicked on Riverworld in the middle, channel surfing.

"Why is there a sidewheeler heading from Lorien to Amon Hen?" I confess I stayed with it for a while just hoping for more NZ scenery.

I watched a show on the National Geographic channel yesterday called "Dangerous Jobs," focusing on a Search and Rescue team on Mt. Cook in NZ's Southern Alps. Every time they did a camera pan over the mountains, I flashed back on the opening shot of TTT.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I spent Easter with my extended family, and my aunt and uncle had just returned from a trip to New Zealand not long ago. I pored over their pictures for at least an hour, going "That looks like where Gollum caught the fish! Oh, and that looks like the Ford of Rivendell!" *sigh* I wanna go there so badly!

I might get the chance in January.

Two of my friends and I are going to do a team-initiated study next January, for our short term. Which would mean we'd probably study the different ecosystems of the islands, because there are so many, which would allow us to travel all over the North and South Islands for a month. Of course, the only issue (at least with me) would be funding, because I've gone abroad for a short term once before and I'm going to Wales in the fall, but if I can get that hammered out, I'm golden. It's kind of exciting, in that far off, I don't know if this is going to work, dear god I wanna go sort of way.
