Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

He might also have been terrified. I would have been.

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

Good point. I do feel bad for him.

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

Edward Ross' voice on "In Dreams" still makes me weep. I don't know if I could sit through it live and not embarrass myself. It actually makes me weepier than "Into the West," because, well.. It just does.

There were a number of women wearing Evenstar pendants, and a few women who were dressed in long, flowy, Arwen-style dresses. It was kind of nice to not be the geekiest one in the crowd, for a change!

Did you have an almost life-sized plush doll of Frodo sitting on your shoulders, to accesorized your cloak made out of a green flannel blanket? That took the geek prize at the Seattle performance.

Please tell me they took it off for the performance.

Also, either I wasn't paying attention, or Houston is just not geeky, because I didn't see any displays of geekery.

Beverly, I know exactly what you mean. He has such a gorgeous, plaintive voice.

I think I need to go home and listen to all three soundtracks in a row tonight.

Giggling at the plush Frodo doll, although personally, I think I'd prefer a plush Gandalf (who is, incidentally, the only action figure of any kind that I own).

Er ... would you prefer to live in blissful ignorance?

Oh, my god. Then please tell me the people sitting behind him/her smacked him/her. Or offered some pointed comments.

I have no idea. We were up in one of the balconies, and the insane person was down on the main floor.

I also saw women wearing flowing I'm an Elf Princess, dammit! dresses without proper underpinnings. Now, I know for a fact that IaEPd dresses can look lovely on plus-size figures, but they NEED to be worn with a bra. Honest.

Oh, and then there were the giggly teen girls who had made themselves Hobbit feet by gluing curly fake hair on the tops of flip-flops. B for effort, C- for actual execution.
