Was seriously considering not getting out of bed today until the maintenance guy knocked. Then I had to get out and get dressed. Hopefully he will fix my light sometime.

Good news: second interview at the bookstore tomorrow morning. Got my roses. Got my DVDs (Chicago and Two Towers).

Bad news: rather pessimistic about the bookstore job... two of the roses' root balls were really disturbed during shipping and completely came apart as I was transplanting. So now one of them is having trouble standing up straight. Already fed them transplanting food, but does anyone have more advice on how to get them more at home? They looked so sad with all the roots dangling out =(.

In a rather bleak mood now. I don't think I function well by myself, with only me for company, despite being an introvert and rather shy about meeting new people.

Been having a great deal of fun going through the special features of Two Towers and Chicago.. although I wish Chicago had more of everyone practicing backstage. Saw some clips of Catherine Zeta-Jones in rehearsal, and wow! She is amazing!

Still have yet to rewatch Two Towers, but I figure there'll be enough time for that tomorrow. I always get to a greater degree why there's so much LoTRPS out there after watching the actors talk about their experiences filming this giant thing. Wished there were more of Miranda Otto, because she was funny. I loved her reaction to seeing Viggo Mortensen for the first time, when she basically just gushed -- exactly what I would have thought! I do wish there were a bit more about Eowyn, but then I'm greatly biased ;). I wanted stuff on Eowyn's costumes and Eowyn's psychology, etc. etc. And maybe even a gentle nod and hint at the scenes in the Houses of Healing with Faramir. I was really excited to see that the extended version of TT is going to have more Boromir/Faramir/Denethor backstory in a flashback of some sort! I was kind of miffed when Faramir turned out to be almost villainous because he's painted as so noble in the book. It's quite unreasonable, but hey, I read it at a very impressionable age. The preview for RotK looks awesome. Can't wait for December! Sigh. Still four more months till then, huh?

But oh, the set for Minas Tirith looked beautiful! And I so desperately want to see Eowyn kill the Witch king! (and get together with Faramir because I am a hopeless romantic)

Fixed up my site a little more so now some of the fic links are working. I realize that my page is probably a giant page to load. Oh well. It's got the complete opposite design philosophy of TMT. TMT was text based and for low-bandwidths, supposedly compatible with all screen sizes and all OSs and browsers to make the info more accessible. My personal page is basically just going to be eye candy for me. So it looks best on my computer, and I really haven't bothered making it fit anyone else's. It's probably quite selfish, but I figure, it's a self-indulgent site, and really, who's going to wander over there anyway? So I'm making giant Photoshop images and the like. If anyone does want to brave it... it's here.

Still kind of in a depressed mood though =(.
