FOTR and some other stuff

Today I SLEPT A LOT. It felt good. I woke up at like 3pm and goofed off for the afternoon. Showered, changed, etc... and went over to Megan and Josh's house, where many people (Megan and Josh, their friend Bill who was in town, and Caitlin and some other guy (Mike?), and Heidi and Cory, and Justin and Colleen, and Miranda) were there to watch the Fellowship of the Ring Extended Remix. We watched some of the "easter egg" stuff beforehand, like the MTV version of the Council of Elrond with Jack Black, and then some of the "making of LOTR" stuff. Bill made meatloaf and potatoes for dinner and they were FANTASTIC. Then we started the movie. But, sadly, people kept talking through it. Now, many of you (particularly orangey and random_boy, being members of the original Sunday Night crew) will remember that I'm all for making fun of movies when it's warranted. But LOTR is not something to MST3K, in my opinion... especially not when watching the extended version which some people hadn't seen before. I missed out on a bunch of the extra dialogue due to people talking and laughing, which made me sad. So I was in a pretty sad mood for part of it (even kicked Bill for making some stupid joke at one point).

Still, we took an intermission at the end of the first DVD, made popcorn, talked some... and the movie turned really dark at that point (the first DVD ends at the Council of Elrond). So it was harder to heckle, hence people didn't, so stuff got better. And, I was really happy with some of the added footage. They REALLY fixed the Lothlorien scene. I would have been really happy if a lot of that stuff had been in the movie originally, I think.

Also, I have to admit that I really no longer find Legolas totally hot like I did last year. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's that I'm so uninclined to find anyone hot anymore.

Hmm, we hung out for a bit after the movie, and then came home. Now I'm goofing off online as usual. For some reason I want to play UmJammer Lammy. I blame Rebecca.

LIVE, from Seattle, it's Deanna's random entries!

random thought: I was just walking up the stairs to the second floor of our house and thought "You know, it's going to really suck in about 50-60 years when I'm incapable of walking up stairs. I should appreciate it now."

I think I keep having thoughts like this from time to time as residual "no, my grandmother's death doesn't REALLY bother me, but YES IT DOES".

Over-psychoanalyzing myself is fun.

I *really* like "Let the Snow Paint Me".

We overslept going to the Fremont Market thing this morning. I have a few friends coming over later this afternoon to play videogames with me. I'm psyched about that.
