Accidentally watching the end of the first Hobbit movie because it's on and I realised because of my posting gap I never talked about finally watching all six films in order (extended versions obv!)

I mean I'm not entirely sure what it is I want to say about that. ( Some ramblings )

I realised earlier I never actually wrote anything about seeing The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies on Friday. I was VERY glad we found a 2D showing, definitely going to be sticking with my ban on 3D films as far as possible in future! I enjoyed it too, I mean these films are never going to be the same as LOTR for me (not least because of the ( Read more... )

I've been trying to write about WorldCon all week but so much happened and it's hard to know where to start! I was trying to write about stuff in the order it actually happened but then several of the evenings have merged in my head a little bit which doesn't help.

We'll see what happens if I start writing again *g*

I just tweeted this but it's so brilliant I wanted to share it here too:

Smeagol sings Mad World

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the lyrics or that he's actually singing in a very good attempt at Smeagol's voice throughout but the two together are just brilliantAnd of course now I've fallen into a ridiculous YouTube spiral because ( Read more... )

This afternoon has been full of petty (and not so petty) annoyances and I have been creating a little list (and they'll none of 'em be missed)...

So instead of bitching about it on LJ I thought why not share some of the things keeping me (almost) sane... (and yes these are 90% nicked from tumblr)

Today is being one of those all-over-the-place sort of days. Everything I start gets interrupted by half a dozen other enquiries/problems. Still most of them are also important?

So here is a post with a structure as fractured as my thoughts are right now (that sounds almost poetic doesn't it?)
