DirtyWrongThoughts Snowglobes
So rather than detail my mind-numbingly dull week at work or moan about various moanables, I opt to describe the lovely birthday present my friend made for me.
The Mounted Boromir Snowglobe
And no, I can't actually say that without reverting to DirtyWrongThoughts numbers 3 (mmmmmBoromir's cloak...) and 242 (heh, heh, she said "mounted").
So here's the thing. My friend took a cheezy drop-shaped do-it-yourself snowglobe from the dollar store, went and flirted with the cute geeky boys at the hobby store (note: if I ever decide to venture back into the world of dating, I'm starting there--prime cute geeky boyfriend hunting grounds) until they tracked down a Boromir model. She'd mainly been interested in one with the all-important cloak of smut, but to find one actually officially called "Mounted Boromir" that included both the cloak and his horse was more than she'd hoped. So she threw some shoe polish onto the model to give him nice pewtery definition, glued a wintery-looking tree into the globe, and then mounted Mounted Boromir there as well. Just add water and snowglobe snow, tie a pretty red bow around the base, and blammo! Mounted Boromir Snowglobe.
Now I want a whole set of DirtyWrongThoughts Snowglobes: Knight of Gondor Pippin. Crack of Doom Frodo. Jumping Up and Stabbing Him in the Knee Merry. Samwise the Elf Warrior. Chain Mail Underwear Aragorn. Battle-Lust Eomer. "I Am No Man!" Eowyn. Whup-Ass Gandalf the White. Ride of the Rohirrim Theoden. Dripping in Oil Faramir. Swinging-Mount Legolas. "She Gave Me Three" Lovestruck Gimli.
With snowglobes such as these, I could--dare I say it?--rule the world!
