That's really cool. Handel's Messiah is so impressive. I wish that I could be in a choir like that. They say that Lutherans are born knowing how to sing in four-part harmony :p but all I know about harmony has come from Simon and Garfunkel. And I haven't had much luck implementing it. :p We have...

LOL! Gee, maybe I should've stayed sick longer! :p Erin

I'm guessing that what I heard a few years ago was just a rumor. It didn't make much sense to me at the time. I would rather the Shire not be scoured, anyway! :) Erin

As Anne Frank said, "I believe, despite everything, that people are good at heart." Or something to that extent, and she certainly was someone entitled to believe otherwise. I love the ending of "Return of the Jedi." What an incredibly satisfying conclusion. It's not too often in movies where...

That *is* a really fun avatar, Beau! :) Erin

I heard a long time ago that they did do the scouring of the shire, and destroyed the sets for the filming of that scene before the final editing for "Fellowship" was done, which was a rather risk move. But maybe that report was wrong, because I also read in that Saruman article that they did an...

I just saw a big article in our newspaper today talking about how Christopher Lee was cut completely from the theatrical version of "Return of the King." He didn't even know it until he went to the screening. It seems to me that Saruman really ought to be in the third movie, but I guess they...

We got a whole bunch of snow yesterday - first decent snowfall of the season - so now it finally looks Christmassy outside! :) Erin

I don't think they have it here. :confused: If they do, it hasn't been advertised, and I can't go anyway - working all day. :( I'm not suure when I will see ROTK; I don't get out of work until 11:30 on Tuesday so that's cutting it awfully close for the midnight screening. The first two times we...

Thanks! I think I'm on the mend. Singing at the holidays is definitely lots of fun! Erin

I don't have the extended DVD yet, but I definitely will be getting it at some point. I feel kinda weird about buying myself a $30 DVD right before Christmas. :p I always kinda felt bad for Farimir and felt like he was a decent but average guy living in the shadow of his brother and of Aragorn...

Nicely put. I'm relieved that he is no longer at large. I don't know what I'd want the next step to be. I didn't see the news reports, but it sounds like he looks pretty sad and disheveled. I agree, as horrible a person as Saddam is, I really can't get any pleasure at the thought of him being...

Wow, that's really cool. :) We used to do puppets at our church, though mainly it would just be songs on tape with the puppets singing. I wrote a few skits for the puppets to do a while ago. That was pretty fun. :) Can't wait to read your script! Erin

Ooh, me too! I'm probably the only one who likes it when I sing... :p But it's lots of fun, and very good for getting me in the festive spirit. Except I've had a sore throat since Thanksgiving and haven't really been able to sing since then...grr... but soon! I think my brother beat his sore...

I think that's "The Christmas Shoes" you're thinking of. :) I'm loving all the Christmas music on the radio. It's on the mall radio, and I listen to our soft rock station at night and hear some great Christmas songs on there. Our oldies station has some good stuff too. Erin

I hear that the conclusion is really satisfying for fans of the book and for people who are just really emotionally invested in the movies. It's bound to be really dramatic. There were a few things about Sam in the first movie that disappointed me, but I think that I will be happy with him in...

These past few years we haven't been that good about getting our decorations up early, but I'm all for having them up as long before Christmas and as long afterwards as possible. :) I love Christmas decorations. Erin

Oooh, I CANNOT WAIT for ROTK. The funny thing is, I don't like battle scenes, and that's what's really being hyped about it. :p Oh, well, it's not every day your favorite book becomes the movie of the century. :p I really have no interest in "The Passion of Christ" because it just looks too...

I heard about it on my way to church on the radio today. I was like, "Who are they talking about?" And I didn't believe it at first when my dad said Saddam. That's pretty big news, if only as a symbolic gesture. It may not make that much of a difference in the long run, but right now it seems to...

Aw.... :halo: Erin
