Whee!

I just drove to and from the supermarket. On my own. Without adult supervision. And I didn't kill anyone or almost get killed! Well, there is the little matter of the sliding a bit and an issue with the driveway... damn snow. Anywho, it was good. Yes. I am a semi-competent driver who can make a 5 minute run to the store. *nods*

Also - MA RP people: I will post soon! I just haven't had time to sit down and think about a post. Will do that tonight!

Oooh.. look, an Elvish name generator!

Using my real name: Lúthien of Dorthonion

::frowl:: They both suck. And I think I've already seen someone online using Luthien as their handle... Not that my Hobbit namesare any better...

In other news, Sean Penn paid $56,000 for this letter to the President to appear in the Washington Post. I'm sure Dubba would have learned some things from it... if he knew what all the big words meant.

A Ruthless Review of The Two Towers. Some highlights (spoiler free):

First thing is first; Gollum just totally and completely rules. I've seen many movies and many video games and many computer-animated characters, and Gollum trumps them all. Why? Principally because he can actually emote, a trait that George Lucas seemed not to care about when unleashed Jar-Jar upon us all.

... but where Jackson divorces himself from Tolkein's looming presence - nice books old man, but you're dead and I'm in charge. Phenomenal.

Sure, there were a few times when I thought Elijah Woods and Sean Astin were going to start making out with each other.

The "Special Ruthless Ratings" are quite amusing as well.

Okay, going to do that laundry thing now...
