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.

I love the phrase “shining my flashlight on the moon”. It mixes equal measures of futility and hope, and yet it’s the hope that wins out. Shining My Flashlight On The Moon © 1997 Christine Lavin Just a trace of gold in the leaves today there’s just a touch of grey in my hair the…
Irony is …
I’d emailed Dr. Fell the day before to ask about the stinging of the steroid cream when I applied it, and he wrote back to say he wanted to speak to me. Then I awoke yesterday morning to find two new eruptions of the rash, one on each thigh, each about half the size of…

So, did I mention I have my camera talking to my computer talking to the photo-software again? The only problem is that the software doesn’t recognize some old photos I had taken previously and stored on it. I strongly suspect that I restored with a back-up version the software itself created, and not with the…

Yup, Happy Birthday to me. Forty-five years ago, at 6:00 a.m., I made my world debute. A small side-note of interest: my father was Rh+ and my mother Rh-. I am Rh+, and so was born with Rh incompatibility syndrome. I was one of the lucky ones, in that my case was relatively mild and…
RotK – My comment
More pluses than minuses. Enjoyed very much. Kiddie relevant facts: No sex; no gore (lots of fighting and blood but no guts or ghastly wounds); one burned alive; lots of ugly critters, including a spider with attitude; triumph of good over evil; triumph of the little guy over the big guy; 3.5 hours long.

The Starfish.
A Parable for My Times. The starfish is a carnivore, a predator. There are different varieties of starfish, each with its own Epicurean specialty. The ones here in the Northeast prey on mollusks such as clams and oysters. They are voracious, and a single starfish can eat as many as 50 clams in six days….
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.

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!

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 🙁
