What? No. It was worth the wait, and worth the pain. But it's all downhill from here. Christmas is never going to be the same again.
I miss the anticipation.
Though the watching was good. And by 'good', I do of course mean 'scrumptilescent'.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

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".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. Jars broke Christmas.

You had me worried for a moment, Jars. But fret not. We can jones on waiting for The Hobbit, which I firmly PJ will make.

Jars broke Christmas.
I always wanted to be remembered.
Does anyone want to be horrifically spoiled, or would everyone rather watch with virgin eyes?
Assuming one can find a virgin whose eyes they could steal...

Huh. Just saw an ad for the EE Gift set -- I could swear that they said that the Minas Tirith box is a music box.
Did we know this before?
Could I have mis-heard?
Does anyone have it yet who could clarify?

Another social casualty...
Sumi, Amazon shipped mine yesterday (along with a bunch of other stuff) vis FedEx Ground and should arrive by Tuesday. I paid for shipping on mine, because the order with free shipping option wasn't scheduled to arrive until the 23rd. I needed the other stuff before then.
