Because I'm not geeky enough already...
My comparison of the parallels between 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
Obviously, since the two movies are done by the same filmmaker, the parallels here probably come from the brain of Peter Jackson and co., and are probably deliberate. However, I think it useful to spell them out, and ( Read more... ) -

Strange Dreams
Do you know the weirdest kinds of dreams? The dreams that take place in an area you know like the back of your hand, but don't make any sense at all.
Take last night. I was dreaming I was driving down Main Street Salem, turning at the Sheetz to go across the railroad tracks and head home. Only, at one point I get out of the car so I can throw it ( Read more... ) -
A Prayer
I thought this prayer would be fitting for today. It's taken from elecktrum's fic "Passing Down the Crown", and altered only slightly for relevance:

For peace

The curse of Writer's Block and a book review by yours truly
Woo-hoo! It's late at night (well, early in the morning), and I'm trying to finish up my stargate atlantis fanfic and have hit major writer's block. Who would have thought writing a death scene would be so hard (bwaahaahahaaa ( Read more... ) -
Oompa Loompa, doopity doo
Jenny and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today! It was great! I think I liked it better than the Gene Wilder version. Johnny Depp did a great job, and the Oompa Loompas were cool. And Charlie was such a *cute* little kid! Definately worth watching.
Stargate tonight! Yay!
