Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

'Never Leave Me'


LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got an A in my class. ;-) Thanks again for all the help and listening while I yapped.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go Dana!

Too bad they don't do acceptance speeches for grades. "I'd like to thank the Buffistas . . . "

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It'd be a really weird one, too. Thanking the Buffistas for obsessive deconstruction of the LoTR movies. Thanking fandom for helping to improve my writing skills, because you'd never believe how much you can learn by writing media-based gay porn...

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

They should tape that acceptance speech and show it every Oscars (tm)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Too bad they don't do acceptance speeches for grades. "I'd like to thank the Buffistas . . . "

I thanked the Buffistas in the acknowldgements for my book.

From TORN:

LOTR Exhibit Moves to Houston in 2005?

eekfrenzy writes: I just came back from the Houston Museum of Natural Science, where to my delight I found out that the Lord of the Rings Exhibit will be shown in summer 2005. Apparently Boston isn't the only US stop! The Houston Museum of Natural Science web pages do not yet have the exhibit listed, but I verified it with several Museum workers.

Also, a piece from the about the Sun-Times about the Chicago's Children's Choir learning elvish to sing in the LotR Concert.
