I'm just LotR/Frodo obsessed, applying it even to twentieth century prison movies....

Oct 14, 2005 21:51

Tonight, as a change of pace, I did not hang out on the internet (until now) but watched a film of my husband's choice with him. (Later I will be finishing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with our daughter.)

We watched the very well-known American film, The Shawshank Redemption.

The Shawshank Redemption was released in 1994 ( Read more... )

All this Frodo stuff is in my mind, I begin to think .... mechtild October 15 2005, 18:03:00 UTC

ETA: My first posting of this had some sort of hitch. I'll try it again.??

You are lucky to be less obsessed, Pearl. I didn't expect to see any Frodo parallels in Shawshank, you know, but there they were, lurking ( ... )

Hee hee! :D If all the world tried to figure out how they might connect stuff in real life to their obsessions, imagine the funny things we'd get to see every day! :D You'd have people wearing *only* stilettos to work, beds on hot air balloons, hockey all year long, and more airlines than you could shake a stick at! :D ( ... )

Lembas, you wrote, Like traveling; sometimes, I am doing everyday normal stuff and I'll just stop and remember when I did the same thing, but in a different spot in the world.

Do you mean like "deja-vu"?

Or I think about what the birds in the jungle that I saw are doing right now. Are they still alive? Is it raining right now, or does the sun shine at that spot by the waterfall that I loved so much? As I sit here and study for histology, does that bird call, echoing so lovely through the trees like it did when I first heard it? :)

This is a poignant thought, a sort that often strikes me, too. I know just what you mean. Rosamunda will have those feelings often, you know ... afterwards.

OT: Lembas, are you a member of Board 77?

I am, but I think I've posted about 5 times since I was asked to join. :) Not because I don't like it over there, or the people (pretty much anyone I know there I met at TORC). I just don't have time to be an active member of many message boards, so I'm pretty much a lurker everywhere, but only a poster at TORC. Actually, I post at TORC much less than I used to; I loved my time at TORC though. My first message board experience and where I met so many great people!

Including all you guys! :) *hug*

OK, I just wanted to check and see if you were a registered user there. I don't have time to read it, either, and, like you, have posted about five times, all on my first day, way back when. I'll be emailing you about a heads-up I got.

Thank you!!!
