What is an “Orc”?
Click on “orc” in the text for more information than you ever wanted on the evil critters under Sauron’s sway. The Encyclopedia of Arda is the best on-line reference for everything Middle Earth.

The minimalist approach to updating
Yeah, I’m still here. I mostly just lurk at the moment – making the circle to my usual diary haunts without leaving much in the way of comments. For anyone who’s wondering, sorry about the stealth mode, but my brain seems to be short-circuiting when I try to go into response mode. I really do…
The robins return to Paliville
The robins have returned to my winter-stricken version of Capistrano. They say it is bad luck if you see your first robin of the season on the ground; “A robin on the wing brings good luck through the spring”, or something like that. I saw perhaps half a dozen of them on the ground yesterday…
Another Clueless update
I called the vet hospital, and Clueless wonder is refusing to eat. Not good. It is dangerous for cats (and ponies) to go too long without eating, as it can cause liver damage. They said I was welcome to stop in this afternoon and try to encourage him to eat if I wanted to. I’m…
Deer Diary
CatControlled’s entry today reminded me of something that happened to me twenty-odd years ago. It was mid-day Saturday. I was home, doing some cleaning, which back in those days meant that I not only knew where the vacuum cleaner was, but I knew how to find the on-switch. I had just turned the vacuum off,…
The Weird and the Working
I am definitely gainfully employed again. I think (hope) that I’ve finally climbed over the steepest part of the learning curve on the new job. I’ve been assigned my permanent shift, and it’s going to pretty much be a life-changer – 3:30 pm until midnight, with every other weekend on. The weekends won’t be the…
Frozen in Time
January 27, 1967. I was ten years old. I was one of those geek kids who was completely enamored with the space program. These were the days when they still wheeled the big television set into the classroom so we could watch take-offs and landings. On this day I was in the living room, laying…
3.5 hours long? Hmm, we will definitely need an aisle seat as I am positive none of the kids have a 3.5 hour bladder capacity.

Sounds like a must-see for me, but I guess I’ll have to leave my orc costume at home….;-P

That’s one long movie! Glad it was worth it.
There’s a new poll on music at the open forum. Votes needed!
Oh man, I’m SO going to dress as an orc. That’s so stupid!! 😀
Someone came dressed like an ORC?! Ohhh, that’s bad, that’s VERY bad….
Hi, by the way. I read your diary all the time but I don’t know if I’ve ever left you a comment saying hello 🙂 So, hello!
Water 🙂
What is an orc?
lol @ StrangeBrew. I don’t know what an orc is either.
The Encyclopedia would go with you Pali.
I’ll go!!! Is there a Concorde flight between Seattle and you? That’s the only way I’d get there in time!
OK, maybe not.
Keep asking, I’m sure you’ll find someone. If not, do you have a Boys & Girls club near you? Maybe you could donate the rest of the tickets so some kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go can see it. Or take it to a local radio station for them to give away.

Wow! I’d ask what an Arda is, but I’m afraid you’d reach through the screen and slap me silly. lol!
Wish I could go with you.
Go =)
I’d go with you but it is approximately a 10 hour drive I think. If I can make a plane reservation, I’ll let ya know *giggles*
Followed the link and sped thru text,
what does the little bugger look like?
I saw a large fire breathing lizard perched on a red orb, could that be he?
You have free tickets and I cant go with you just because I moved 1500 miles away?!?
*SOB*
four free tickets!!!! i’d have gone with you
oh, what a pain when people back out of things
i saw rotk last night and loved it. for some reason, though, i think my favourite of the 3 is still number 2. not quite sure why
perhaps it has something to do with the fact that now lotr is officially ended, and that is kind of a sad thing 🙁
