The Fellowship of the Ring was bloody brilliant in the cinema; I saw it twice, which is something I've never done with a film before. But the extended version... oh man. Oh man. It was absolutely fantastic. It was perfect. Why in the name of all the Gods did they clip out those bits to begin with?

I'm getting a cold. I have this weird version of a high-speed metabolism which seems to speed illnesses up.

So I'm sitting at the computer, because sitting up is more comfortable, and it's easier to type than talk, with tissues, lemsip, eucalyptus oil on the burner, and I'm going to just surf it out. inannajones is responsible for the oil and the lemsip, so I'm being taken good care of.
