Lord of the Rings Daryl and I went to see the Lord of the Rings movie Saturday night. It was, as I expected, wonderful. The scenery was beautiful, the monsters were convincing, and some good camera work was done with the hobbits. The hobbits were adorable, and I said "They're so cute!" so many times that Daryl finally told me that no, I couldn't take one home with me.

Of course, like every movie based on a book, there were discrepancies, but nothing major and the point still got across. For example, with the tentacled monster at the gates of Moira. In the book, they didn't really see it or fight it. They just hacked at a tentacle and ran inside. But in the movie they fought it and it chased them in, causing the entrance to collage. Also, in the book, Frodo figures out Gollum is following them after they left Lothlorien, and Strider tells him that it had been following them him that it had been following them since they entered Moire. In the movie, Gandolf told Frodo that Gollum was following them while they were still in Moira.

Ian McKellen did a wonderful job playing Gandolf, getting across a perfect mixture of grumpiness and wit and power. Frodo was also excellent, as were all the hobbits. I recognized Bilbo from The Borrowers. I didn't like a few of the cast choies though. The guy that played Elrond did a great job, but I didn't feel he looked the part. I just didn't expect one of the fair, immortal elves to have a receding hair line. Galadriel was the opposite. She looked the part, but wasn't played correctly, in my opinion. Galadriel was wise, gentle, and at peace with her lot in life. But in the movie she seemed creepy and a little evil. Daryl, not having read the book, thought she was a bad guy at first. And I thought the special effects they used when she spazzed out over being offered the ring were just messed up. I also thought they should have showed that she wore one of the three Rings of Power that were given to the Elves. I think they showed her wearing one in the opening sequence, but by the time the Fellowship got to Lothlorien, I couldn't remember if they did or not. I was also disappointed that they didn't show all the gifts that she gave the Fellowship. The only other actor I wasn't all that fond of was Legolas. He certainly looked the part of an Elf, and did a good job with his part, but I thought he had this slightly confused look all the time that was kind of funny.

Also, I haven't read the second book yet, so I didn't know about the orc attack, Merry and Pippin getting captured, and Boramir dying, so that was a bit of a surprise.

All in all, it was excellent. If all three movies keep that level of quality, it is destined to be the next classic, like the Star Wars trilogy. Besides, any movie worthy of two new songs by Enya can't be all bad.

Nekkid EverQuest Hello out there to the guy that found me by searches for naked everquest pics. The funny thing I found out is that there is a bug in EQ where you characters really can be seen nekkid. Here's some pictures. The bad news is that it's about the equivalent of looking at a Barbie or Ken doll. Sorry. Of course it's possible that the bug is a hoax and I'm perpetuating the myth... but who cares. Nekkid EQ people are nekkid EQ people.

Lots of Hits Well, it seems that the major attraction to my site right now is... castration. Yes, that's right. Castration. A lot of the hits that I'm getting from Google are searches for castration pics. Bunch of sickos. I suppose it's better than getting hits from searches on accidental goat sodomy, but not by much. Just once (or maybe a few times) I'd like to get a hit that isn't from someone looking for porn. There's no porn here, folks. Move along, people... move along.

Work I think my work has finally figured out that people work harder when there's an actual goal in sight and the workers feel like they're actually getting something accomplished. Duh. Usually there's so much work to do there's no hope of running out. But today it was like they were dangling a carrot in front of our collective noses. We'd be just about to run out of work, just starting to feel a little hope, when they would dump in a little more work. So we'd be just about to finish that up and they'd dump in a little more. No, wait... I'm giving them too much credit. Our managers aren't that intelligent. They aren't trying to get us to work harder. They're trying to drive us insane. Hah! Well I've got them fooled. They're too late!

Outcrowd Hmmm... Outcrowd.org linked to me. I was confused, but flattered. Then I figured (or rather, my husband figured) that they saw a referring link from my page to theirs in their Sitemeter referring links status page.

Birthday My husband tried it, so I figured what the hell. He put a link to his Amazon.com Wish List, and someone actually bought him something off it for his birthday. So if he can get something from a total stranger for his birthday, why not me? My 22nd birthday is coming up on February 28th, so here's mine. Feeling generous? Come on... you know you want to.

Greymatter My husband's switched his blog over to something called Greymatter, which apparently runs off your own server, rather than someone elses, like Blogger. I really like Blogger... it's easy to use. But I can see the advantages of running it myself, from my own site. For one thing, Blogger has been down a lot lately, and was recently hacked into. If I ran it off my own site, it would only be down when my site was down, and isn't such a big target for hackers like Blogger is. Plus, in addition to being able to leave comments, you can vote on entries. Maybe I'll switch over to it. When I feel like putting that much effort into it.

Nifty Site Outcrowd.org. I don't know how I found it. I don't care. It doesn't matter. And don't tell them I sent you... because they don't know who I am anyway.

Lord of the Rings I was at work today and overheard a conversation between the people sitting in front of me about movies. Then the guy that was talking said that he wanted to see Harry Potter. The other three women agreed, and then he said something along the lines of "You know, that's based on a book. My little sister got the set for Christmas". Which then led to one of the women saying, "My sister wants to see that movie about rings or something... I don't know what it's about. What's that movie called?" "Lord of the Rings I think," replied another woman. Then the guy piped up, "Naw, naw... it's King of the Rings."

So tell me, exactly what planet have these people been living on? Not only is Lord of the Rings a classic book, but the movie has been highly publicized. It's a major motion pictures event practicly. Sometimes my co-workers amaze me.

I bet if Destiny's Child was in it, they'd know what it was called and every possible detail about it.

Cat Resolutions I don't usually post stupid stuff that people generally forward to one another ceaselessly, but some of these made me giggle as I thought of the antics of my own cat and I wanted to share. So rather than e-mail to every person I know, I just put them here so people don't have to read them if they don't want to. These came off a message board on HollyLisle.com.

• I will not sniff at my male human's feet after he takes his shoes off, freeze my mouth open in disgust and then sniff my private parts to compare odors. My female human might find it amusing, but my male human does not appreciate it, especially in front of company.
  
• I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium.
  
• I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and stare into her eyes until she wakes up.
  
• We will not play Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the Plains of the Serengeti over my humans' bed while they're trying to sleep.
  
• I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside. If I forget this and bonk my head on the window and fall behind the couch in my attempt, I will not get up and do the same thing again.
  
• I will not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.
  
• I will not back up off the front porch and fall in to the bushes just as my human is explaining to his girlfriend how graceful I am.
  
• I will not complain that my butt is wet and that I am thirsty after sitting in my water bowl.
  
• I will not stick my paw into any container to see if there is something in it. If I do, I will not hiss and scratch when my human has to shave me to get the rubber cement out of my fur.
  
• Yes, there are still two very large dogs in the back yard. There have been for several years. I don't have to act as if I've just discovered the Demon Horror of the Universe each time one of them appears in my window.
  
• I will not play "dead cat on the stairs" while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry, or else one of these days, it will really come true.
  
• I am a walking static generator. My human doesn't need my help installing a new board in her computer.
  
• I promise I will meditate more closely upon the causal relationship between going dumpster diving on Sunday afternoon and projectile vomiting Monday, and being brought to the Evil Place Where They Stick Things Up My Butt on Tuesday evening. I realize that if I hadn't done the first, none of the other things would have happened.
  
• I will not be miffed at my human all day and then kiss her on the nose at 2:00 a.m. to tell her that she is forgiven and can now pet me.
  
• I will not scratch the children of lawyers, no matter how much they chase me or how hard they pull my tail.

Hotmail "Virus" My husband got a new kind of "virus" in his e-mail a few days ago. Apparently it only goes to web-based e-mail accounts like Yahoo! and Hotmail. I wouldn't call it a virus in the sense that it infects your computer and screws things up. Rather, it's more of an e-mail scam. The reason it is only sent to web-based accounts is that it says your conenction timed out and you must re-log in, and then gives you the name and password screen just like you were logging into Hotmail. What it then does is send your user name and password to whoever the guy is that started the scam. For more information, and a picture of what the e-mail looks like, visit tpoh.org: Serious Hotmail Password Scam

You Know You've Lived In The South Too Long When... My husband was driving to work the other day, and I was looking out the window and saw that the field across the street that usually houses cows and noticed that the fence was wide open. Not really thinking about what I was saying, I said "Didn't there be cows in that field?" Someone save me...
