damn, i've mussed my record

Today felt like Friday.  Isn't it Friday yet?  Oh, yeah, tomorrow.  So, besides that, I managed to get up late, check the internet, watch 15 minutes or so of Lord of the Rings/Return of the King...

You know, because I've listened to them so often (yes, I have the Mind's Eye version of LOTR on CD, courtesy of sonder ) that I actually have the lines

See, you think boring, I think: Eee! Kate! Extra flistian action!

Also, don't you cut Tolkein slack being that when he wrote LOTR etc he was living in a mainly white, male dominated society? Or is that not how we're supposed to look at older stuff these days?

I have no idea of anything even to do with Tolkein, though, so I am not Master of Knowledge here. (I thought the films were long and boring, and I attempted to read LOTR the first book but I got to page four and went "there is no dialogue, and this book is heavy." and put it down, never to pick it up again.)

awww!! flistian action!! that sounds kind of porny. (or perhaps i am tipsy so everything sounds kind of porny? yes, that could be true)

and oh hell yeah - i totally give Tolkien slack... i was just bitching for random bitching's sake. Cuz seriously, the guy wrote some bad ass women characters, ya know? Besides, i love hiim in that deep down love kind of way that is uncomplicated. I think i just get too analytical sometimes, you know?

I know much about the T-man, through proxy. I giggle because I am also willing to admit that he is quite long winded, with PAGES of description that have occasionally made my head hurt, and the movies could totally be looked at as hokie (sp? hoky?) and yet... sometimes I just like cuddling up with him. He makes me take my time and *read* every sentence, you know?

When I wrote it I thought "that sounds kinda porny..." so. Yeah.

Ah, I understand! I just think sometimes peeps go off the deep end going "oh my god, he didn't write any diverse characters, or women, and, oh my GOD, the writer is a MAN! We must burn him at a stake and find a black woman writer at the same time and make out that her work is the best EVER, even if it's shite, just 'cause of her race and gender!" etcetera. Okay, so I overexaggerate, but I am a Mish.

Ah, you like having to read every single word? And concentrate. See, my For Fun reading like that is Hitchhiker's Guide. Which is... not so complicated. But *awesome* fun. In my opinion.

Ah, you like having to read every single word? And concentrate.

well, only sometimes! othertimes i love things i can skip through all of that stuff and just concentrate on the dialogue... but that's what I have fic and terry pratchett for! :D

I'm trying to post every day. Not happening! Grrr.

We were ripping those decorations down before New Year's. We'd had them up since Thanksgiving. I know people that wait until Valentines.

[katekat1010]

isn't it frustrating when you miss a day? and i'm finding it's harder than i thought (and lord knows i can talk, so i find that kind of hilarious)

and ok, Valentines? I feel better - we are not quite that bad. Still, the tree is pretty crackly at this point... and i think leaning more to one side than it originally did :)
