I wish they had just made all 4 at the same time. I think the success of the Fellowship made the Hobbit suck. (I'm also bitter because it made my LOTR tattoos trendy. Assholes.)

The spider action sequence is well-done and creepy though. I'll say that.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.

You do get to see Stephen Colbert for like, a second, making a prune juice face.

It sucks so much that I managed to miss that part even though I think I'd heard beforehand that Stephen Colbert was making a cameo appearance and yet caught the :airquote:cameo:airquote: by Peter loving Jackson and his stupid carrot at the beginning. Well, at least Smaug was pretty awesome and Stephen Fry was genuinely funny so it wasn't a total waste.

almost

the real terrible idea was making a movie of the hobbit at all

i dunno i think it would have been entertaining as one movie - that already currently exists.

Oh thank the stars. That totally sounded legit and I was thinking how glad I am that I'm not in the US to have to deal with that. I like Sierra Nevada sometimes. Other times, I like Molson. I could never order anything pretentious.

My brother's new kitten is so cute that I'm afraid he's going to give me heart palpatations or something, especially now that he's dressed in a sparkly red bow. I will return with an offering of photos.

I'm a partway shaving nerd, I don't do all the creams or anything, but drat that razor is nice compared to the plastic Venus and Gillette crap! I used to dread shaving because it pulled and hurt, not anymore! A cute pearl handled razor and some like pack of 500 razors and you are set. I think the last time I bought razors was like a year ago or so.

Hi thread! I just caught up.

lab/glove chat: I too work in a lab, nail polish just comes off or becomes discolored in solvent too quickly. NeoPro gloves best gloves though. They don't dry out your hands like most nitrile gloves tend to, but if your hands get sweaty they smell a bit like the pool because they're chloroprene.

fuzzy things: The puptatoes are great and all the catte pics are awesome.

book chat: Everyone should read Pavilion of Women by Pearl S. Buck (author of the classic The Good Earth). It has some fairly awesome ladytruths in it that I wish I had known growing up.

I spent my christmas money on clothes and shoes, being the fine upstanding traditional lady that I am. I still haven't replaced all my gross ratty old clothes though, I've only got like three decent tops. Shan't rest until I have a full week's worth of clothes to wear.

and maybe also a pair of thick black facecrushing boots.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
Weirdest place I ever boned was a night club bathroom. Not all that weird, I guess.

Never been too into beer. I like wine, but don't know too much about it. I just buy whatever looks like it'll go with dinner. I love overpriced pretentious cocktails, though.

The Hobbit was okay, Smaug was cool. Nothing compares to my dad reading the book to me when I was little, though. He's a massive Tolkein nerd and did different voices for all the characters :3:
