Just saw a mention that Matt Smith will be in Star Wars episode 9. Yaaaaasssssss Doctor Who and SW colliding! I thought to myself, the only thing better was if there was a Lord of the Rings person. The next article I look at tells me Dominic Monaghan has also signed on ( Read more... )

1. How did you choose your LJ/DW username?
At the time I started my LJ, I was newly (less than a year) obsessed with Lord of the Rings, and also working at Starbucks, which was good for my coffee addiction. So, I chose a name that reflected the things I loved. I almost went with javaoliphaunt, but thought it was too out there. So, ringsandcoffee ( Read more... )

Hmmmm, Legolas, you did not disappoint. ORLANDO BLOOM! Galadriel kicks ass. Bilbo's feet looked too big for him, like even disproportionate for a hobbit.

Thanks to ewanspotter's post, I got to see Fellowship of the Ring, extended edition, on the big screen tonight. Saw her post, flailed, Googled, bought ticket, and flailed again. This all took place in about 5 minutes. Happened to be going to get my haircut, and shared my geeky news with my hair dresser. She already knew about it, mentioned fathomevents. ( Read more... )

I just watched this with a HUGE grin on my face - Peter Jackson's first video from the set of The Hobbit. Seeing the sets and hearing the music gave me chills. I'm SO glad Peter came around and decided to make this!http://www.facebook.

July 10th marked 4 years since moving to Arizona. I always forget the exact date, thinking it later than it really is. It's still hot here, but I'm slightly more used to it. I feel like I've been here forever ( Read more... )
