Two Towers

[jenk]

jw1776 woke me about 10 this morning to tell me that Crossroads had tickets for the 11:59 showing of The Two Towers, and did I have any plans for midnight to 3am or so?

So we went. He wore his tabard, I wore a worn-looking black dress, teal cloak, and black boots. A few folks gave us five as we walked in.

Good movie. I haven't read Two Towers yet, but I probably will over the next few weeks. Hey, I actually got through Fellowship after seeing the first movie. I looked at a copy of Two Towers a month or so ago and was seriously yawning before the end of the first chapter. (Previous to seeing the movies, the most I'd gotten through JRRT was about 8 pages of The Hobbit. That's the most - and some of my tries only made it through 2 pages of The Hobbit. These books are not exactly Friday, Double Star, or Guilty Pleasures when it comes to grabbing one's attention early. Okay, JRRT fans can kill me now; I ask only that Sue be first in line.)

jw1776 says his brain is fried - mental exhaustion. I'm kinda wired myself, and I'm brewing a pot of chamomile to help me relax. A hot bath may follow, but I hope I won't need it.

Also had a good time at Third Place tonight. It's the last time for a few weeks - next week (Xmas Eve) Third Place closes at 6pm. Week after (New Year's Eve) they also close at 6pm.
