This meant to be several posts over the past few days, but I’ve been too occupied with them to actually get around to posting. So, it’s recap time!
BowieWednesday night was the David Bowie concert. Originally, aquamindy was supposed to go with me (especially since she’d had the foresight to buy tickets for us), […]

Here’s how I spent (wasted?) the end of 2003.
I finally built my LEGO Star Destroyer. While listening to the BBC Lord of the Rings series.
It took the better part of two days.
The third day, December 31, last day of 2003, was spent producing this:

The Small Version [QuickTime, 04:02, 9.0MB]

The Large […]

Okay, this will be my last Trilogy Tuesday post, I think. I want to just try to record some of the impressions, moments, and little things that I will want to be able to remember long, long into the future, the little things that really added flavor to the day.
I think list-style is the […]

Well, I’m back.
More later, probably… Return of the King is still sinking in. It will take some time.
The short version?
WOW. Jaw on floor, tears in eyes, heart-pounding, serious, hard-core WOW.
And seeing the entire trilogy one after the next is mind-blowingly perfect. If ever the opportunity for a marathon screening presents itself, it […]

Twelve hours until seating begins for Trilogy Tuesday.
Thirteen hours until Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition starts.
Eighteen and a half hours until The Two Towers: Extended Edition starts.
Twenty-two hours until Return of the King starts.
I am so, completely, totally, bouncing-off-the-walls, foaming-at-the-mouth, 100% STOKED that it’s passing funny and boldly striding into scary.
Lord of the Rings, […]

Maybe it’s because all of my stuff for both huge and mind-bogglingly irritating projects is all done and working. Perhaps it’s because the sky is nearly the same shade of grey as the walls of my cube. It could be that today is simply Monday, and that I’d rather it weren’t. But […]

Had a nice, relaxing, mellow bit of a weekend. It’s been cool, grey, and drizzly, which has really made the fall colors nice.
Friday, our new Pella windows were installed (no pictures yet, been too lazy). I need to sand, prime, and paint them, which will be more work than either of us wanted, […]

I am somewhat irritated, somewhat annoyed, and somewhat sad that I haven’t been blogging nearly as much as I would like to. I miss having a regular expressive outlet. Sometimes it seems like life is too trivial to bother writing about, other times it seems like it’s just too much effort, or that […]

It’s Monday, so it’s time to bust a recap of the weekend; let’s break it down, list-style:

Thursday, I managed to score tickets to the Cleveland “Trilogy Tuesday” showing of all three Lord of the Rings films. w00t!! I’m so giddy about it, I feel like a geeky little eleven-year-old! In other LotR […]

I am back among the (somewhat) living. Actually, I have been for about a week and a half now, but I’ve been too lazy to post. I had a wonderful sinus infection (which my doctor referred to as an “upper respiratory nightmare”) that had me out of commission for a week. […]
