A friend sent that to me this morning, sumi. I said that one of the advantages of being a grown-ass man (TM Bernie Mac) was that no one could torture me that way anymore. In 35 minutes, I will walk 5 minutes down the street to the HMV, pick a box of the Special Edition off the stack and croon and grasp it all the way home. And there's nothing the family Gift Tyrants can do about it (my sister, who I adore, is the greatest of these, but she has conceded on the LOTR front).
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.
'Safe'
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Mine's in Greensboro! It's been arrival scanned and unload scanned. I could just, like, drive over there and get it, right?

Woo hoo!
Hmmm, this means that Amazon's updated their website, right?

My Amazon ship list is on today's date.
Um, did that make the kind of sense I meant for it to?

Uh, no.
But then, my package is still "accepted" in Kentucky, you know, as of yesterday, with no further update.
So frustrating.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My Amazon order, which consists of RotK EE and Hec's book, which I placed weeks ago, is saying FEBRUARY delivery! I hope that's just them being over-cautious with giving a delivery date, 'cause what's the point of ordering online if you can go out to Best Buy and get around the same price?

I hope it's extreme caution on their part.
Also, the official LotR website just sent me an update:
Guess what? The Extended Edition of Return of the King is being released today!
Who. Knew.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a shipping estimate of December 29 :-(
At least my nephew's Lego Ferrari has finally moved into "Shipping Soon"

Gosh, my copy is in my dvd player.
Sorry, I'll stop now. Really.
