A drop of dew crowns

This weekend I ran seven miles or so and finished The Hobbit. Not at the same time, mind you ( Read more... )

..but really, if you haven't seen it yet, you should go find it right now and watch until it's done. I am eagerly anticipating watching it kill in every category in which it is nominated on Sunday at the Golden Globes. Actually, I am eagerly anticipating the Globes in general. They are always so much fun. All manner of drunk and pretty in one ( Read more... )
